The CEO of the Rheinmetall Armament manufacturer, Armin Papperger, said that the Granadas factory in Spain will be one of the largest in Spain and that the sending of Taurus to Ukraine will not change the rules of the game in the war.
Papperger assured the German economic newspaper Handelsblatt In an interview that in the factory in Spain they create “currently a production capabilities of 450,000 grenades per year.”
Something similar occurs in other countries such as Lithuania, Denmark, which wants to have a gunpowder factory, Estonia and Latvia, Bulgaria, Poland and Romania, countries that want production factories, according to the CEO of Rheinmetall.
Papperger considered that the sending of Taurus cruise missiles to kyiv, as the next chancellor, conservative Friedrich Merz, will not change the war.
“With that shipment nothing is changed in the war, Taurus is not a great change in the rules of the game,” said Papperger. “What will change the rules of the game is the ammunition of classical artillery. Ukraine can keep the Russians at a distance only with that,” he added.
Rheinmetall Expal Munions, based in Madrid, is a manufacturer of ammunition specialized in artillery ammunition, mortar grenades, middle caliber ammunition, spounds and rocket propulsion systems.
