last week, it was widely reported that rheinmetall is building lynx ifvs in ukraine. however, i can now say that this is incorrect. the ukrainian media has  after a couple of days  finally released the interview in english without ukrainian voiceover! here you can clearly hear, that papperger (rheinmetall ceo) actually says: we want to build it (lynx ifv) also very soon also on the ukrainian site. production is therefore currently not taking place in ukraine. this had already made me suspicious when i listened to the original interview with the ukrainian voiceover, which is why i hadn't tweeted anything about it.  after all, the production of the lynx for ukraine has been known since january 2024 and at that time the maintenance hub had only just started and not even officially opened. how should rheinmetall then produce one of the most modern infantry fighting vehicles in ukraine? with the publication of the interview without the ukrainian voiceover, we now have certainty. all that is currently taking place in ukraine is repair/maintenance work, and this has been known for a long time. just like the number of lynx that ukraine will receive (10) and that there will/should be more factories in ukraine. all known long ago.   1043471749336
