The German Rheinmetall company is building an ammunition production facility in Hungary.
The enterprise started construction in the Hungarian city of Várpalota on an area of about 150 hectares.

Ammunition for various systems will be produced by Rheinmetall Hungary Munitions joint venture in collaboration with the Hungarian government.

In the first stage, in 2024, the plan is to launch the production of 30mm rounds for the Lynx infantry fighting vehicle.

In the second stage, production capacity will increase, and the range of products will expand to include other types of ammunition.

Rheinmetall reports that the facility will be able to produce ammunition for the Leopard 2 tank and the PzH 2000 self-propelled gun. Both systems are in service with the Hungarian army.

Not all equipment will be intended for the Hungarian military, some will be exported to other countries.

The company will reach full production capacity in 2025. In addition, Rheinmetall plans to conduct research and development in Várpalota.

The factory in Várpalota will employ about 200 people after the construction is completed.

“We are also seeking specialists who are trained and have experience in handling explosives and ammunition,” Michael Krebs, General Manager of the Factory, shared.

Recently, the company has been systematically expanding its ammunition production capacity.

It had recently announced the acquisition of a Spanish Expal ammunition manufacturer. Rheinmetall also produces ammunition in Germany, Italy, Switzerland, South Africa, and Australia.

In the coming weeks, there is a strong possibility of Russian forces making greater advances at a quicker pace in Eastern Ukraine. They are already on the way to Zap.

It's clear that currently the Ukrainian Force are running out of steam and are overly stretched. Thus the emergency meeting yesterday to beg NATO for more.

The reason Russia called this a SMO was because it was only intended to liberate the Donbass and free the Russian Speaking population in Ukraine from the tyranny of the imported FaciZio-bot regime.


The Clown in Kiev has a choice. Accept that the donbass is now Russia and come to the negotiation table, or continue to have his country calved up and his LGBTQRST army destroyed and Ukraine decimated by Russia waging a full scale war. The choice is his.

Gen Milley with an accurate assessment. The goal for Ukraine right now should be pre February 2022 lines. Continue to take chunks from Russia. That can be achieved with the latest weapon packages

In terms of military situation.

We can expect Russia to try another offensive between March to June, depends on where they are coming from. It will have vary degree of success, but ultimately that offensive will run out of steam, and it will basically be the same as 2022, Russian invaded in Feb 2022 and took a chunk of land, and then Ukraine will counter attack those gain at the latter half in 2022 and then the war will go into stalemate like this winter.

The only different is, the Russian offensive this time would not be able to take as many land as they did back in 2022, bar from a complete Ukrainian defence meltdown, Ukrainian defensive is now on alert and a lot of approach already had defensive position and troop set up, and then Russian is not using their crack unit (VDV, 1st Guard Tank, 64 Motor Rifle, etc) those doing the fighting in the March 2023 offensive would have been those were drafted in fall 2022. Russian is giving these people whatever training they can and they will be heading up against experienced Ukrainian troop. So we are going to see probably just a fraction of Russian success during Feb-May 2022.

And then we will be looking at a Ukrainian counter offensive between July-October or even November like in 2022 and depends on what the west had armed Ukrainian with, you are talking about a sizable land can be crawl back to a rather big chunk, I am pretty sure Ukrainian is looking at 2 fronts specifically, the Kreminna- Svatove front and Zaporizhzhia - Melitopol/Mariupol front.

lol, that's not what he said at all....

Gen Milley was saying the way the war progress is unstainable for the Ukrainian, he was referring to Ukrainian is not allow to hit Russian Civilian Infrastructure that process military value (like Power Station, Factory, or anything Russia is bombing the Ukrainian right now)

The war will have no end in sight if Ukrainian only allow to kill Russian in Ukraine, because that would mean Russia would just feed people in a rate that Ukrainian cannot sustain, if those infrastructure was not targetted, you will have a constant stream of replacement coming and Ukraine can't even intercept that because they are not generally allowed to hit Russia.

Milley was asking the US government to lift the restriction on using US weaponry and supply them with munition that can allow them to hit Russian Civilian Infrastructure I have listed above. Otherwise it would be pointless just to hit anything coming into Ukraine.

not with 10-20 numbers they are talking about , in those numbers , it only gave a bad name to the tank , if they want it to be effective the number most be in hundreds.

They are going to get those tank, probably 200+, just when is the problem.

There are already news that Poland is training on Ukrainian with Leo 2. Which mean once the tank arrived it would just be plug and play. M1 Abrams on the other hand would have some issue, they would need to send Ukrainian to either US base in Germany or all the way to Fort Knox where I was trained on the Abrams, and until that happen, M1 Abrams delivery is miles away.

Once they get those tank tho, I am pretty sure they are not going to waste them in Bakhmut, they are going to hook around and start a mobile assault with all the Bradley and Maruader NW of Svatove, because once they took Svatove, it's pretty much ball game for the Russian in East Ukraine, because the Russian would have to withdraw to Staroblisk which basically roll the Russian back to pre-22 line in the east because everything West of Luhansk would be exposed to flanking attack.

Now, whether or not the Ukrainian can mount an assault like that and be successful is another issue, but judging from the previous year and the current sitaution of Kreminna, I would say there are 70% certainty Ukraine can pull that off.

The two events are not even related. Look at the vegetation, terrain, and the trees. They're completely different. Nice try though.

That's clearly the same place, the same equipments but taken in different times maybe you should stop cocaine some times.

I think if German tanks go into Ukraine it will unite Russia like never before and bring back memories of the Great Patriotic War

the Russian War Machine will go into overdrive and we might see mass mobilisation

everyone including the Americans are way to dumb to work this out but actually the Germans are very very hesitant for a reason and rightly so

have to be careful here, Russia maybe dumb but Russia is not weak

if history tells us anything that is NO ONE no can out build the Russians when it comes to weapons

I have a prediction to make that i am confident about- If US or/and NATO do not win this war in Ukraine, that means the formal end of the US as the world's superpower- no ifs ands or butts.
