Germany plans to start production of HIMARS
The concern has the opportunity to increase the production of artillery shells and tank ammunition.
The German concern Rheinmetall plans to start producing HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems, which Ukraine uses in the war against Russia. On Saturday, January 28, Reuters reports, citing Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger.
According to him, Rheinmetall is already conducting the necessary negotiations with Lockheed Martin, the American company that manufactures HIMARS.
“At the Munich Security Conference, we expect to conclude an agreement with Lockheed Martin to start production of HIMARS in Germany,” said Papperger.
He stressed that the company has the technology to produce warheads and rocket engines, as well as trucks to accommodate launchers. Such an agreement could involve investments of hundreds of millions of euros, the bulk of which is planned to be financed by Rheinmetall.
