The first plant of the Rheinmetall defense concern is already operating in Ukraine, the second one is on the way, Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger said in an interview with the TSN broadcaster.
"The first plant is already operational. The Ukrainian defense industry is our partner. Now we have a production plant and a service plant," Papperger said, adding that the first ultra-modern Lynx infantry fighting vehicle will be released in Ukraine at the end of the year.
"At the moment, we service infantry fighting vehicles, but also main battle tanks. So this is a very productive joint venture," said the CEO of Rheinmetall.
He added that the company owns 51% of the shares of this enterprise.
Papperger noted that Rheinmetall is on the way to building a powder factory and an ammunition manufacturing plant in Ukraine.
"We also want to establish the production of air defense systems so that you can defend yourself," he said.
