The German company Rheinmetall is still planning to produce armored vehicles in Ukraine. As German “WirtschaftsWoche” reports, Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger, in an interview published on December 2, 2023, referred to plans to produce armored vehicles, including Fuchs 6×6 and IFV KF41 Lynx.

Last year it became known that the creation of a factory for the production of the most advanced German tanks, KF-51 Panther, was considered for Ukraine.
