Franco-German defense group announces opening of subsidiary in Kyiv

The Franco-German defense group KNDS, which produces weapons that have long been used by Ukraine on the front lines, has opened a subsidiary in Kyiv.

The purpose of the branch will be to support cooperation between KNDS and the Ukrainian authorities and defense industry, the defense concern said. KNDS noted that the concern "is one of the most important industrial partners of the Ukrainian ground forces."



Let us recall that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are armed with German weapons produced by the group of companies. Tanks Leopard and French Caesar howitzers, a significant portion of which have already been destroyed by the Russian Armed Forces.

The new branch, named KNDS-Ukraine LLC, will allegedly also facilitate the Ukrainian side's work on repair and maintenance of military equipment, including Leopard heavy tanks and AMX-10 RC light wheeled tanks, Caesar self-propelled guns, and PzH 2000 self-propelled guns.

In addition, 155-mm will be produced in Ukraine with the support of a Western group of companies. artillery ammunition and spare parts for military equipment.

Let us recall that Germany is the second largest provider of military aid to Ukraine after the United States, and France continues to raise the issue of possibly sending Western ground forces to Ukraine.

One would like to hope that the address of the new military production facility in Kyiv is already known to Russian intelligence.

    The company will put "made in Banderland" labels on European products.

    The conclusions of the first two commentators are fundamentally incorrect.

    Earlier there was information that the West had satisfied its hunger for unemployment. i.e. it can be considered that there was a recruitment of personnel, and as an option among refugees to the West.
    Now refugees are being returned as labour force and on EU wages.

    i.e. objectively, the companies’ budgets took on these expenses, and they are most likely subsidized from the EU’s GDP or another source.

    as a summary - it is necessary to create a personnel shortage again, and at the same time to provide for expenses in other areas and items, so that the debt burden on the EU GDP grows.

      How do they contradict your meanings?

      What personnel shortage, what are you talking about? All city streets are filled with refugees. If you create problems, then in another area.

      And who said that the informant was telling the truth about the address? I think it is entirely possible to open such a production under the umbrella of the air defense near Rzeszow, drive refugees there and make them work off the payments "for suffering". Serious metalworking production without power supply is impossible today, and there is little point in opening something in Kyiv, from where the workforce dreams of escaping.

    Previously, answering machines on phones said "wait for an answer." Now we can rephrase it to "wait for arrival." wassat

        I'm thinking, if Russia had launched the same massive attack on this Ukraine as Iran did on Israel, launching about 400 missiles in one night. All lights out. No one would have even thought of opening any production there.

          About 180 of them reached Israel, and were able to kill a random Muslim native of Gaza. The Russian military-industrial complex is able to produce more accurate missiles, and the Russian military is able to more accurately target them. If Iran, instead of striking Israel, had supplied weapons to Russia for the same amount at Gerasimov's request, Iran would have been able to kill more Israeli citizens who had signed up to serve as mercenaries for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

    Awesome, I have to say: I would like to personally congratulate you on your housewarming and convey a warm, fiery greeting, for example, from my friend Iskander?

      In Zaporozhye and Kharkov there are a lot of military factories that can be hit with 100 kg and 250 kg glide bombs from drones.

        After all, every day they take out drones and UMPK, except for the deep ones, which are sometimes reached after reconnaissance, agents, as with Starokonstantinov, Yavorovsky, Poltavsky, Odessky near Zatoka.

    Of course, this is just a cover for the supply of long-range missiles. There is no need for permission for long-range strikes on Russian territory. They write correctly, they attached a nameplate and that's it
