Armin Papperger, CEO of the German arms concern Rheinmetall, has responded to Russian authorities that have threatened to view the concern?s future plant in Ukraine a ?legitimate target? of the Russian Federation.
don’t fuck with our german industry…if we want build tanks in ukraine, we will build tanks in ukraine and no cunt in the kreml will stop that.
“Papperger said that Rheinmetall would not abandon its plans to set up a plant in Ukraine, and that they planned to protect it from attacks with air defence systems of their own manufacture”
This real? I wonder how far they’ll set up their perimeters. Maybe other factories will follow this trend. Self- defense is key.
It would be the ultimate advertisement for their products if they show how well they protected that factory in Ukraine.
ultimate advertisement. It’s Perfect PR. Service and protection 10 years guaranteed.
It is strange when you actually picture such a factory with all the equipment.
There is alot to be said about this development, politically and militarily, but also, like you said, its good PR.
Hmmm Russia targeting a German company. I think that’ll play out well for them.
I think you are not really up to date on what stuff Rheinmetall produces.
They do not just produce CIWS equivalent systems but also targeting systems, laser based effectors and surface-to-air missile systems that directly integrate into all those systems.
And why would they need anything medium range ? they are not trying to cover large areas,
*Prigozhin to offer his services for security guards*
It was obviously meant as a joke but later I remembered that he was actually willing to sell out Russian positions to the Ukrainians and now I wouldn’t be that shocked if he actually tried it.
