A joint site of Ukroboronprom and the German defense concern Rheinmetall, a workshop for the repair and production of armored vehicles, has been launched in Ukraine. This was reported by the Ministry of Strategic Industries.


It is claimed that the creation of the workshop will speed up the restoration of combat vehicles and their return to the front line, and later will allow the production of new equipment for the Armed Forces.


"This will allow us to ensure quick repair and maintenance of German equipment directly on the territory of Ukraine, which will significantly increase the efficiency of the Armed Forces. We are grateful to our German partners for their trust and support, which allow us to move confidently towards victory and integrate into the European collective security system,” said Deputy Defense Minister Dmytro Klymenkov.

Ukrainian specialists work at the joint production site, while representatives of the German concern provide technical supervision.


“It is important that this is happening in Ukraine: foreign partners are confident in us, our professionalism and the high potential of the national defense industry,” said General Director of Ukroboronprom Herman Smetanin.
