Does anyone have any idea about what kind of vehicles the plan is going to be manufacturing exactly? I know Rheinmetall from Leopard tanks, but do we have any actual knowledge yet? Anyway, great news (just like the situation with Sweden)!

Can't find much aside from "Tanks"

Maybe depends on what Ukraine asks for? I'm sure they could repair Ukrainian tanks currently employed as well, such as T-Series.

Criss could probably find out more than me.

400 Leopard 2's a year seems like a lot so I doubt it's all Leopard's.

Man I wouldn't like to work in a factory which Russia wants to destroy but I guess still better than fighting at the frontline. Let's hope they can defend it. I guess Rheínmetall will also place some own air defense around the factory. They definitely have systems for that especially made to defend military buildings

Does Rheinmetall make the IRIS-T?

You're right, Russia will definitely try to seek this out, fuel for their local propaganda if they take out a German manufacturer, that's if they aren't too distracted by their disgusting and tactically useless attacks on civilians.

Need more air defence!

They have Oerlikon Skynex which is a modular system and can be used with ground to air rockets, guns, lasers and so on.

The ground to air rocket system SkyKnight which can be integrated in the system is specifically made to defend certain buildings/areas from saturation attacks with up to 60 rockets in one battery
