How do shells for the Armed Forces: in Germany there was a movie about RheinMetall Concern (Video)

Journalists showed the process of ammunition production for Gepard systems, repair of Marder 1A3 machines, as well as fragments of the Rheinmetall CEO of Armina Papperger's CEOs with Ukrainian ambassador Alexei Makeev. On the German National Channel, Das Erste released the documentary "Inside RheinMetall", which tells about the work of a well -known defense concern. The film was posted on the Ard Mediathek portal on November 24.

The film is opened by the process of creating and testing ammunition for the Gepard Spaags anti -aircraft self -propelled installation. It is reported that technologies for production are supplied by various Rheinmetall companies, including Swiss. It is reported that in Switzerland, the company could produce shells faster, but in the country have abandoned this opportunity. "As ammunition gets from here, Ukraine remains a mystery," says the voice behind the scenes.

The authors of the material note that before approval, the sample is tested, in particular for winter use. For this shells were specially frozen up to -46 degrees Celsius. "No television crew has never been filmed in ammunition shops. This is a high -risk area for tank ammunition, which is also sent to Ukraine," journalists said. The film also mentions that Rheinmetall is overhauling the Marder 1A3 infantry fighting vehicles that will be transferred to the Armed Forces.

In addition, journalists showed fragments of the meeting of the CEO of RheinMetall Armina Papperger with Ambassador of Ukraine to Germany Alexei Makeev. At the beginning of the meeting, Papperger presented a Ukrainian diplomat with tanks. The negotiations were confidential, but later Papperger and Makeev spoke with journalists. "Trust is the most important diplomacy in the world. There is no diplomacy without trust.

You know, those who are theorizing now, they need to come to Ukraine once to understand what it is: to fight an aggressive war daily," the Ukrainian ambassador said. In turn, the CEO RheinMetall expressed gratitude for the feedback on weapons. He noted that German equipment is very reliable and the company receives appropriate reviews.

We will remind, on November 14 in the press service of Rheinmetall reported the conclusion of a contract with the Government of Ukraine for the supply of 32 Leopard 1, including 7 cars based on tanks. The order of several million euros, funded by the Federal Republic of Germany, also includes training, logistics, spare parts, maintenance and other auxiliary services. Before.
