Rüstungskonzern Rheinmetall: "Nicht mehr nur die Buhmänner"
Vorbei sind die Zeiten, als Rüstungsgegner vor den Werkshallen demonstrierten: Mit dem Krieg in der Ukraine hat sich auch das Image von Rheinmetall komplett gewandelt. Einblicke in einen Konzern in der Zeitenwende. Von Klaus Scherer.
Here's what The Counteroffensive is reading today:
#NATO allies must “step up” support to #Ukraine, especially air defense ahead of the winter, says the NATO Secretary-General during a surprise visit by Zelenskyy to their headquarters today.
Germany plans to supply additional air defenses for Ukraine to help protect grain shipments from potential Russian attacks, according to people familiar with the matter.
Berlin will send one extra IRIS-T air defense system and more than a dozen #Gepard anti-aircraft guns that will provide cover for consignments heading toward Romania along the country’s southern coast, the people said on condition of anonymity.
#Germany 🇩🇪 announced a new package of military aid to #Ukraine. Its volume is 400 million € : #Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns #IRIS-T anti-aircraft missile systems
200 #MRAP armored vehicles with anti-mine protection #Ammunition for 155 mm #artillery systems...
Etc, etc...
"#LONDON, #UnitedKingdom– Lloyd’s of #London underwriters are leading insurers in raising rates and cutting the amount of cover they offer for risks involving #Taiwan as concerns grow over possible military action by #China, industry sources with knowledge of the matter say."
The Gepard is a potent killer of helicopters, low flying SU-25 bombers and Iranian shahed drones. This is big news.
"The German Defence Ministry noted that the construction of a production line for the manufacture of ammunition was successfully completed in an ambitious time frame, which made it possible to carry out the first delivery of a five-figure number of shells to #Ukraine." #UkraineWar
New anti-aircraft ammunition for Gepard self-propelled guns, which are crucial for shooting down Russian drones, should be handed over to the advanced units of the Armed Forces in the near future.
🇩🇪 #Germany will transfer 45 more #Gepard anti-aircraft guns to #Ukraine to strengthen air defense.
The Gepard has proven to be an effective weapon especially against suicide #drones#Shahed. The good news is also, that Ukraine will save expensive AA #rockets for more valuable targets.
