Germany's Rheinmetall to provide Ukraine with 8 Forward Surgical Team stations

Rheinmetall stated this on August 9.

It is emphasized that the order is part of Germany's program to strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities.

According to the agreement, Ukraine will receive eight turnkey-ready systems, equipped with highly modern medical technology, including an x-ray-container, an operating theatre, and a unit for intensive care.

The delivery is expected to begin in 2024 and be completed by the end of 2026. 

For transporting each rescue unit, Rheinmetall also delivers a mobile component consisting of three HGVs (trucks).

“The medical care facilities from Rheinmetall are highly mobile, very fast operational, and quality-wise on the highest standard. The newly placed order underlines that our first deliveries to the Ukraine concerning medical technology have proven their worth,” Armin Papperger, CEO of Rheinmetall AG, stated.

• The Russian government planned to assassinate Armin Papperger, the CEO of a German defence company that produces artillery shells and military vehicles and supplies them to Ukraine. Germany and the US was foiled the plot.
