Yes, they won't be any less safe than the facilities Ukraine already has, but it makes sense that there is a certain amount produced right at home, just as it makes sense, that an Ukrainen company builds its factory in Ukraine.
What I am saying is Rheimetall has valid options outside of Ukraine, why take the risk that the workers are hurt in any way? Of course the big suit guy from the billion dollar weapons comapany doesn't work in that factory himself.
@loudWaterEnjoyer easier logistics maybe?
Besides that, the workers employed there could actually be safer than sent on the frontline. So for them, working for Rheinmetall could be an advantage.
Rheinmetall also seems to ramp up investment in neighboring countries as well (in Romania at least).
Are you forced to the frontline from the Ukraine Government?
@loudWaterEnjoyer Guess they are in a way or another. The martial law is ongoing. Also, let's not forget about this.
Damn... I know this is a totally different topic and discussion, but isn't it also kinda fucked to force people to go to war?
