This is reported by RBK-Ukraine, referencing an interview with Rheinmetall's director, Armin Papperger. The information comes from Kontrakty.UA.

"We have many promising plans. The first factory is already operational. The Ukrainian defense industry is our partner. Currently, we have a manufacturing facility and a service enterprise. By the end of the year, we will have the first state-of-the-art Lynx infantry fighting vehicle in Ukraine. At this moment, we are servicing infantry fighting vehicles as well as main battle tanks. So, this is a very productive joint venture," he stated.

Additionally, he mentioned that Rheinmetall is on track to establish a powder factory and a munitions manufacturing facility in Ukraine.

"The third point is that we aim to set up the production of air defense systems so that you can defend yourselves," Papperger noted.

The director of the group also shared details regarding the readiness of these four factories.

"Things are progressing. The first factory is already ready. The second one is on the way. And I am now insisting on speeding this up because we do not have time to lose," he emphasized.

Construction of Rheinmetall Factories in Ukraine

As early as March 2024, it was reported that the German defense consortium Rheinmetall plans to build at least four factories in Ukraine for weapon manufacturing.

In particular, Rheinmetall received an order to construct a munitions manufacturing plant in Ukraine. Furthermore, "UkrOboronProm" and Rheinmetall opened the first workshop for the repair and production of armored vehicles in Ukraine.

In May, it was also revealed that the consortium Rheinmetall will establish a joint air defense production in Ukraine.
