"Papperger said that Rheinmetall would not abandon its plans to set up a plant in Ukraine, and that they planned to protect it from attacks with air defence systems of their own manufacture"

This real? I wonder how far they'll set up their perimeters. Maybe other factories will follow this trend. Self- defense is key.

Time will tell if they only say this in order to raise their stock value.

It would be the ultimate advertisement for their products if they show how well they protected that factory in Ukraine.

ultimate advertisement. It's Perfect PR. Service and protection 10 years guaranteed.

It is strange when you actually picture such a factory with all the equipment.

There is alot to be said about this development, politically and militarily, but also, like you said, its good PR.
