    Well, we asked to produce the scare Patriot missiles in license. After promising negotiations the request was denied and the stockpiles wasted in the Iran conflict.

    I bet in hindsight some politicians regret that they didn’t evaluate the (then not battle proven) samp/t any further 🤷‍♂️

    In hope all parties find a way to scale production of all munitions fast.

      Hear, hear. One can view this public announcement as a form of appeasement while pursuing more reliable partners without the publicity.
