Rheinmetall to Supply Lynx to Ukraine – Order Value for the First Batch in the Mid Double-Digit Million Euro Range

Wednesday, January 14th, 2026

Rheinmetall is supplying Ukraine with additional systems for national defence. The country is set to receive its first Lynx KF41 infantry fighting vehicles as early as the beginning of 2026. A contract to this effect was signed in December 2025. The order value for the first five combat vehicles is in the mid double-digit million euro range, with the systems being financed by the Federal Republic of Germany.

The decision in favour of the Lynx KF41 was made after extensive testing of the next-generation infantry fighting vehicle (IFV). The IFVs will feature the two-man Lance turret and be configured specifically for the Ukraine’s armed forces. The next step is to procure additional batches, including production in Ukraine.

‘We are grateful for the trust that Ukraine has placed in us,’ said Armin Papperger, CEO of Rheinmetall AG. ‘We would also like to thank the German government for its support. This order is a fundamental success that underscores our continued efforts to support Ukraine.’

The Lynx KF41 combat vehicle family has been developed to meet current and future requirements. The Lynx KF41 stands for maximum modularity. Thanks to its open electronic architecture and the largest protected interior volume in its class, the vehicle offers exceptional growth potential for future technologies and mission profiles. With a scalable weight concept, a highly efficient drive system and state-of-the-art protection technology, it combines mobility with maximum safety. At the same time, the Lynx impresses with its high level of ergonomics for the crew, which enables efficient and comfortable operation even during long missions.

SHIELD Sights Announces the New OMSx Micro Red Dot Sight Competition-Inspired Performance with a Translucent Roof Design

Wednesday, January 14th, 2026

Crewkerne, England, U.K. — SHIELD Sights, pioneer of compact red dot optics, is proud to announce the launch of the OMSx Micro Red Dot Sight, a new optic that blends the competition-driven performance of the RMSx with the innovative translucent roof architecture of the OMSsc, delivering an unrestricted sight picture with almost zero visual obstruction.

The OMSx was developed to give shooters the widest, brightest, and fastest-acquiring sight picture possible in a compact footprint. By combining the translucent roof design of the OMSsc with the wide viewing window of the RMSx, the OMSx creates the visual effect of an even larger window, allowing shooters to pick up the dot faster and track targets more intuitively under speed and stress.

“The OMSx brings together two of our most successful designs into a single optic, by pairing the translucent roof architecture with a wide competition-style window, we were able to increase perceived brightness and field of view while maintaining the compact form factor SHIELD is known for,” said James White, CEO of SHIELD Sights.

Like the OMSsc, the OMSx features a translucent roof design that allows ambient light to naturally reach the emitter and lens, improving clarity and brightness across changing lighting conditions. This design, combined with SHIELD’s automatic brightness adjustment, samples ambient light thousands of times per second to ensure optimal dot intensity without user input.

Drawing from the RMSx, the OMSx incorporates a wide, competition-inspired viewing window that enhances situational awareness and facilitates faster dot acquisition during transitions and movement. The result is an optic that feels larger and brighter than traditional enclosed designs while remaining streamlined and competition ready.

The OMSx is manufactured from aerospace-grade anodized T6 6082 aluminum, offering excellent durability and corrosion resistance. It shares the SHIELD standard footprint, allowing direct mounting on slides cut for SHIELD RMSc/SMSc-pattern optics and enabling co-witness with standard-height iron sights.

OMSx Key Features:

– Translucent roof architecture for enhanced brightness and field of view

– Wide viewing window inspired by the RMSx competition optic

– Aerospace-grade anodized T6 6082 aluminum housing

– Zero-magnification clear lens with anti-reflective coating

– Automatic brightness adjustment that is always on, always ready

– Available in 4 MOA and 8 MOA dot options

– SHIELD standard footprint for direct mounting compatibility

– IP67 rated for dust and water resistance

The OMSx is to make its initial public debut at SHOT Show 2026 in the SHIELD Sights booth #11056 in the Venetian Expo Center.

MSRP: $489.99

OTB Boots Introduces the Pirata Series: The Next Evolution in Subsurface and Above-Waterline Tactical Footwear

Wednesday, January 14th, 2026

Officially launching at SHOT Show 2026OTB Boots has announced the launch of the Pirata Series, a purpose-built footwear platform designed to meet the evolving needs of maritime and land-based operators. Engineered from direct operator feedback, the Pirata Series delivers significantly enhanced cushioning, traction, drainage, and load support compared to legacy maritime boots, while offering multiple configurations tailored to specific mission profiles.

The Pirata Series consists of three models: Pirata Elite (OTB / subsurface), Pirata Mid, and Pirata Low. The Pirata Elite features an integrated knit collar inspired by the OTB Abyss Series that fully eliminates sand infiltration during subsurface and wet-sandy operations. The Mid and Low variants are optimized for above-waterline and land-dominant use cases, where sand exposure is reduced but mobility, durability, and comfort remain critical.

Across all models, the Pirata Series shares a common performance foundation: the outsole design and rubber compound are directly derived from OTB’s Abyss boot, a platform used by U.S. Navy special operations units, and is recognized for exceptional traction on wet decks and maritime surfaces. The boots feature a widened, stable fit, a slightly beveled heel for improved ground contact, and fast-rope guards on both the medial and lateral sides. An integrated Fusion Plate provides flexibility at the toe for natural movement while maintaining stiffness through the shank to support heavy rucks.

Underfoot performance is a defining characteristic of the Pirata Series. Compared to traditional maritime assault boots that rely on minimal cushioning, Pirata incorporates nearly an inch of advanced EVA cushioning, delivering running-shoe-level comfort and impact protection for extended movements. The boot is also equipped with OTB’s exclusive Contoura Insight footbed, a non-water-absorbing polyurethane design with integrated drainage that allows water to pass directly through the footbed and exit via side-mounted drain ports.

All textile components of the Pirata Series are treated with an anti-wicking finish to prevent water absorption, allowing the boots to dry in 30 minutes or less, whether worn or exposed to open air. Recessed medial and lateral drainage ports are molded into the midsole in an asymmetric pattern that aligns with natural foot flex, ensuring efficient water evacuation without compromising ergonomics or comfort.

The Pirata Series also represents a natural evolution of a well-known maritime silhouette. The folks at OTB are actually the original designers of the Altama Maritime Assault Boot, which it licenses to Original Footwear –– the parent company of Altama. The Pirata platform builds on that heritage while delivering substantial technical advancements in cushioning, drainage, stability, and overall performance.

With the introduction of the Pirata Series, OTB Boots continues its mission of delivering operator-driven footwear solutions that redefine performance standards for modern tactical and maritime operations.
