Tank manufacturer Leopard establishes a subsidiary in Ukraine
The French-German concern KNDS has opened a subsidiary in Kyiv. The company produces, among other things, Leopard tanks and Caesar self-propelled artillery systems.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the company's press service.
KNDS has reportedly opened a subsidiary in Kyiv called KNDS Ukraine LLC. In particular, it will support cooperation between Ukrainian government agencies and Ukrainian defense companies.
The company noted that Ukraine is using or has contracted nearly 800 weapons and ammunition produced by the French-German company on the front line. This makes it one of the most important industrial partners.
The company will also help the Ukrainian industry to more efficiently carry out maintenance, repair and overhaul of the company's weapons.
These include Leopard 1 and Leopard 2 tanks, CAESAR and PzH 2000 artillery systems, and AMX 10RC armored vehicles.
In addition, KNDS and the Ukrainian industry also intend to jointly produce 155-mm artillery ammunition and spare parts in Ukraine.
