Lockheed Martin, Rheinmetall to jointly produce ATACMS missiles in Germany

Lockheed Martin and Rheinmetall announced plans to establish Europe's first ATACMS production centre in Germany. The joint venture will manufacture the long-range precision surface-to-surface missile system for European allies and Ukraine. The move represents a strategic shift in NATO's long-range deterrence architecture, reducing dependence on US-based supply. Production is expected to begin within two years.
