MBDA Germany is RTX's partner on PAC-2. Rheinmetall is partnered with LM on ATACMS and other LM products and has expressed a desire to produce PAC-3.

@ColbyBadhwar MBDA Germany is LMTs partner for PAC2 production in DE, and produces rocket motors, warheads and electronics for Meteor, AIM9, RIM and others. Rheinmetall is highly unlikely a realistic partner for PAC3.

They are working on getting them PAC-2, and even that will take years.

@ColbyBadhwar The thing is though Colby, the Ukrainian license for patriot interceptors doesn’t require the newest variant and packages.

What I would be interested in is what capabilities or quality is realistically accessible in a shorter timeframe. Just because they can’t make the newest

Yes, Rheinmetall is being considered as the prime contractor for AUR assembly. Seekers would still likely have to come from Boeing.

@ColbyBadhwar OJ Sanchez President of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Interview with Terry Gerton:
"we’re now expanding and announcing partnerships, whether it be with Rheinmetall (...) looking at how we do maintenance AND missile facilities for the PAC-3 system"

Ya they should just give their IP away to competitors for free.

@ColbyBadhwar “Suggests that establishing a second source wasn't practical.”

No it establishes that Boeing crippled any competition with excess IP charging.

Cope.

Oskar, @Oskarr_x
@kriegsforscherD The problem is that there needs to be not one firegroup, Interceptor group and EW group but 10 or even up to 30 per S-300V/similar target

You need automated turrets like the Zitadel too, in layers across the whole front

🇺🇦 Just €6,650 remains to fully fund the van for Azov.

If we close this part of the campaign quickly, their vehicle can still arrive with the next NAFO convoy to Kyiv.
