# Finland Authorizes RGW 110 Weapons Acquisition

Finland authorized an approximately €84.5 million acquisition, excluding VAT, of German-made RGW 110 heavy anti-tank weapons from Dynamit Nobel Defence, replacing its aging APILAS systems. The Finnish Ministry of Defence announced the decision on October 28, 2026. Deliveries and training are scheduled to begin in 2027; weapon quantities and the full replacement schedule have not been disclosed. The reported acquisition is not an open solicitation, so the announcement points to an authorized procurement rather than a current bidding opportunity.

- The acquisition covers RGW 110 weapons, training equipment, and instruction. The disclosed value is approximately **€84.5 million**, excluding VAT.
- Defense suppliers and service providers can use the planned 2027 delivery and training start to understand the implementation timeframe, but the announcement provides no quantities or open procurement contact.
- The replacement of APILAS systems signals a Finnish Army modernization requirement; firms offering relevant support should distinguish potential follow-on needs from the already authorized weapon acquisition.
