This ambitious initiative is set to bolster the combat capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces amid their ongoing conflict with Russian forces.
One of the key projects involves the creation of a factory for the production of 155 mm artillery shells, a move that is expected to significantly enhance Ukraine's artillery strength. Beyond the production of advanced military hardware, these facilities are intended to serve as hubs for the development of new defense technologies.
Rheinmetall's strategy also includes exploring the possibility of establishing additional factories in Lithuania and other countries to accommodate the growing demand for military products and services globally.
Company officials have emphasized the vast potential of the Ukrainian market for the expansion of the military-industrial complex during times of full-scale conflict. Rheinmetall is poised to play a pivotal role in the development of Ukraine's defense sector through this substantial investment.
