Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger confirmed this to the German outlet Handelsblatt on June 11.
“We will produce the first Lynx this year,” said Oleksandr Kamyshin, Ukraine's Minister of Strategic Industries.
Due to security concerns, neither Kamyshin nor Papperger disclosed the production location.
The Lynx, developed by Rheinmetall and first presented in 2016, features a modular design and can be equipped with various weapons. It can function as an infantry fighting vehicle or an anti-aircraft tank with a 30- to 35-mm cannon, and it can also be armed with a 120-mm Leopard tank gun.
