German company established in Romania a maintenance center for tanks in Ukraine
Speaking to the German media, the spokesperson of the company stated that the center in question was established in Satu Mare, near the Romanian-Ukrainian border, and will be operational this month.
The maintenance center will play a central role in maintaining the operational readiness and logistical support of the Western war systems used in Ukraine.
In addition to main battle tanks such as the Leopard 2 and the British Challenger, self-propelled howitzers, infantry fighting vehicles, armored transport vehicles or military trucks can also be serviced at the maintenance center.
In addition to combat vehicles of NATO forces, logistics vehicles are also scheduled to be serviced in the future at Satu Mare.
Rheinmetall Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Armin Papperger stated that providing the best possible support to NATO forces and Ukraine is of paramount importance to Rheinmetall.
In June 2022, Rheinmetall and its partner company KMW established a similar maintenance center in Jonava, near the Lithuanian town of Rukla, to provide comprehensive logistics support to combat vehicles of other NATO forces stationed in Lithuania and the Baltic States.
Prime Minister Scholz welcomes establishment of care center
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, on the other hand, welcomed the establishment of a maintenance center and said that it is important that the equipment deployed in Ukraine is also constantly repaired and is in usable condition.
Stating that due to the special nature of this war, the repair facilities are located not only in one place, but outside of Ukraine, but close to the border, Scholz said, «I am very happy that so many European countries are willing to act with us on this issue.»
