How to become a Rheinmetal partner: why Hungary creates its weapons and Ukraine is not

It seems that Ukraine does not need its own weapons, despite its condition of the belligerent country. Military analyst Ivan Kirichevsky describes the wonderful case, as in the years of our war, Hungary launched the production of BMP under the license of the Rheinmetall concern, and Ukraine has barely started testing.

I will leave here two demonstration facts in the fields of exchange of thoughts about what and in which historical period we have better defense capabilities… In the fall of 2019, our rocket launchers successfully conducted test shooting with rockets to C-125 and C-300 in the "surface-top", the "surface-scallo The hits successfully went to the bottom, information about these tests was published in the public domain.

The motive for conducting these tests looked like this - whether we will shoot on Russian ships in the event that fighting in the Black Sea starts earlier than something at all on "Neptune" will be ready for real combat use. Which at the same time shows how much work was on the domestic anti -ship complex.

*** In the period from September 2020 to February 2025, but proud Hungary in the framework of the contract with the German concern Rheinmetall for 2 billion euros and 219 BMP KF41 Lynx already has in the asset: at the same time it is worth specifying that the factory was in Hungarian in 23 years. contract. And of the mentioned 46 KF41 Lynx units, 20 units were already made at Hungarian capacity.

Against this background, it is very sad to have a comparison with how we have "marriage dances" with the same Rheinmetall. Because, according to public access, Ukraine only received the first KF41 Lynx for testing only in January 2025, and this is all despite the fact that at any BMP the production cycle is at least 12 months.

This is what I do that, from an objective point of view, the above -mentioned exchange of thoughts looks like a quarrel between "turbid" and "stainful", like Jonathan Swift, when they argued, from which the end of the egg should be beaten. If we have the question that we have some 100% on some nomenclatures of weapons only on external assistance, then in the segment of development of the MIC is systematically imperfeced by all the last 5 years, regardless of names.
