Rheinmetall has launched a significant expansion in Ukraine, constructing four weapons manufacturing plants. According to CEO Armin Papperger, the first of these facilities is now operational and will deliver its initial batch of the Lynx infantry fighting vehicles by the year’s end. This step marks a crucial boost in Ukraine’s production of modern armored vehicles, essential to strengthening its military infrastructure.
In addition to the Lynx production facility, Rheinmetall is building plants dedicated to manufacturing gunpowder and ammunition, further addressing Ukraine’s demand for a steady supply of essential military materials. The final facility planned in the series will focus on producing advanced air defense systems, a key element for enhancing the country’s security against aerial threats.
