Feb 1 (Reuters) - Rheinmetall (RHMG.DE) has won a double-digit million-euro order to supply air defence systems to an unnamed international customer, the German arms maker said in a statement on Wednesday.

The supplies will also include ammunition and spare parts, Rheinmetall said.

The company, which together with Krauss-Maffei Wegmann manufactures the Leopard battle tanks Germany and its allies are sending to Ukraine, nudged up its mid-term sales outlook last month, anticipating a windfall from higher defence spending due to the war.
