Ukraine, together with the German arms concern Rheinmetall, produces weapons for the Defense Forces. Germany supplies components, and the final enterprises are located in Ukraine.
Production of Rheinmetall and Ukroboronprom
Director of Ukroboronprom, Herman Smetanin, said on the air of the telethon that a joint production with Rheinmetall had been established.
This is an enterprise that is currently registered in Germany, but it has production facilities in many countries around the world. Production of a large range of weapons and military equipment is underway. But without the creation of joint ventures, using components supplied to us from abroad, the final production is located in Ukraine.
