Wes, just because I don't write much doesn't mean that I don't read EVERY ONE of your essays; they are well written from an informed, battle hardened and experienced base; well done Wes, and keep it up.
One possible advantage of this project - any any project involving arming Ukraine with NATO standard equipment, is that it could ensure continued support for Ukraine once these get into full combat use. I am sure that NATO and EU nations will have an incentive for preventing their equipment falling into Russian hands. Also, it is a step further towards Ukraine's military becoming fully compatible with NATO - and membership.
The factories linked to building lynx will be priority targets for the russians. As soon they should start production… boum! I am a bit sceptical, but of course ukranians know what they are doing (hopefully). Thank you.

Thanks Peter!

As always, a well-written education! Thank you
I would bet that no significant number of these will be produced by Ukraine before major combat is over.

I had considered that as well. I think there is some optimism that killing German workers on Ukrainian soil may be too escalatory for Putin. I hope they're right. This line of thinking hasn't stopped Russia from hitting American-businesses in Ukraine. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/08/21/major-russian-attack-western-ukraine-hits-american-factory-during-us-led-push-peace.html#:~:text=The%20Flex%20factory%20is%20one,end%20the%20war%2C%20Zelenskyy%20said.
