I mean don’t get me wrong, I don’t support war (crimes) and Russia is the illegally aggressively invading Ukraine. But wouldn’t it be smarter to build the factory on the Polish side or something. How can this not be a risk and safety hazard for anyone to go near. It is literally a strategic military target and Russia most probably really wants to shell and rocket the fuck out of this building?! People are supposed to work there?
First of all that is not the only factory they are building. Rheinmetall is ramping up capacity accross the board and for example just laid ground for another one in Germany that is planned to produced 200k shells/year, So what you are suggesting is also being done
This one specifically seems to be a joint venture with an ukrainian company, so it makes sense that they’d want to have that in their own country. Especially because that makes it less dependent on any other political shifts and longterm they will definitely want to have their own capacities anyways.
It’s definitely a strategic military target, but this isn’t being build on the frontlines. I am pretty sure Ukraine right now will already have some factories producing military products that aren’t being hit. If it’s further back and you put an IRIST-T or Patriot battery in the vicinity, then Russia likely won’t have the ability to damage it.

This is a private company doing its business, how can polish farmers just block it? Are there no laws and police in Poland?
Based on what been happening for over a year now, not really, no.
They’ve been blockading the border crossings on and off for months.

@loudWaterEnjoyer Ukraine also has some military production facilities though. I guess it can’t be any less safe than them. Besides this, Baykar also has plans in Ukraine. @LaFinlandia
