“Waiting ten years is too long.” Europe takes missile production into its own hands amid Russia’s threat and the uncertainty of US President Donald Trump’s defense policy, according to Hartpunkt.
German company Rheinmetall and American defense giant Lockheed Martin are launching large-scale joint missile production, from ATACMS to PAC-3, directly on European soil.
The project involves setting up facilities to manufacture long-range missiles, including GMLRS, Hellfire, JAGM, and munitions for Patriot air defense systems.
Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger explains that the initiative emerged due to a chronic shortage of production capacity in the US.
