Rheinmetall CEO: Russia Planned My Assassination Attempt
Following NATO’s announcement of a foiled Russian plot to assassinate him, Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger attributed the assassination attempt to Russia’s displeasure with Rheinmetall’s significant contribution of 155 mm artillery shells and other munitions to Ukraine and other Western nations. He noted that Russia, as a major producer of large-caliber ammunition, likely views Rheinmetall’s support for Western defense efforts as detrimental to its own interests. Papperger confirmed that his safety is currently being ensured by police.
