CEO Armin Papperger said this in an interview with TSN, Censor.NET reports.
"The first plant is already in operation. The Ukrainian defense industry is our partner. Now we have a production plant and a service plant," said Papperger.
He noted that by the end of this year, the first ultra-modern Lynx infantry fighting vehicle will appear in Ukraine.
"At the moment, we service infantry fighting vehicles, but also main battle tanks. So this is a very productive joint venture," said Rheinmetall's CEO.
