Okey, that’s impressive.
important part:
>Rheinmetall has offered full technology transfer and design authority for the Lynx platform, supporting Italy’s goal of local production and future variant development.
one major advantage of ordering from a German company has always been that if you order enough, you will get local production and tech transfer no problem.
So yes, some profit will go towards Rheinmetall Germany, but especially with the additional Leonardo and Iveco partnerships, the majority of the value chain will be fully Italian.
Thats a lot of vehicles.
That’s serious procurement.
“Use more gun”
Now I want to know why they chose the Lynx over the Puma.
1 2 3…. Trump tariff threat incoming 😁
Lynx to be the first euroIFV in the making
>Major General Francesco Olla emphasized the importance of partnerships, noting that no single European nation can afford such a complex program independently
Hell ya, we aint stupid no more
And that’s how we should spend the money, in european countries. Sure Trump will be happy with NATO countries increasing their spending like this!
Rheinmetall trying to own the IFV market
US Rheinmetall Branch is still 1/2 bidders for the Bradley replacement
Since when does Italy have money?
HOW MANY??
Some actual Cold War (useful) numbers again

Anyone know why this isn’t a tank? It’s got tracks, a turret, I don’t get it.
Zalaegerszeg will be going with full steam again, it looks like.
Ok…. That’s a lot of armoured vehicles…
Looks like Italys not wanting to get caught out with shit equipment this time round.
This is the way
Today Crosetto woke up and said “you know what, i’m not gonna be ministry of defense, i wanna be ministry of war”
Great news, by all means
