Rheinmetall Destinus Strike Systems announced program priorities at the Eurosatory 2026 exhibition in Paris. The joint venture is fast-tracking the Ruta Block 3 cruise missile for strategic deep strikes. This missile features a range exceeding 2,000 kilometers. The system carries a 250-kilogram warhead.
Initial production will focus on the Kryla and Ruta Block 2 cruise missiles. The venture plans a fully European value chain with final assembly at a new German facility. Delivery readiness for the first products is scheduled for 2026. The initiative addresses increasing European demand for long-range precision strike capabilities.
