Germany has chosen a strategy of converting its car factories into arms factories.
Modern.az reports, citing "The Wall Street Journal", that this is stated in the German government's reports.
Every month, approximately 15,000 jobs are lost in Germany's manufacturing industry, including the once-dominant automotive sector.
Berlin's approach is not to revive the automotive industry, but to replace it. Factories and laid-off skilled workers are being redirected to the expanding sector.
According to reports, Volkswagen is negotiating with Israeli companies to start producing components for the "Iron Dome" air defense system by 2027. Several other companies have created a third shift for workers to produce weapons and ammunition for Ukraine.
In addition, the production of the Patriot air defense system, previously developed by the US, will soon begin in Germany. According to government data, approximately 90% of European venture capital invested in defense technologies goes to German companies.
