The company is headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany, but has factories in 33 countries.
Papperger told the Rheinische Post that a plant could be built in Ukraine for about 200 million euros and produce up to 400 Panthers a year. Asked if it would be"dangerous" to set up an arms factory in"the middle of a war-zone," he responded:"No, anti-aircraft protection wouldn't be difficult."He told the publication:"The Ukrainians do not have the equipment today to fully retake their territory. Russia may not have as many resources as the West as a whole, but so far I have not seen that the leadership around Putin is making any concessions to its aggressive course towards Ukraine.
Papperger said Ukraine needed between 600 and 800 more tanks to win the war and he wanted to ramp up production as soon as possible. Subscribe to push notifications
