      I think you are not really up to date on what stuff Rheinmetall produces.

      They do not just produce CIWS equivalent systems but also targeting systems, laser based effectors and surface-to-air missile systems that directly integrate into all those systems.

            Because a tank factory is a strategic target which you would use ballistic/“hypersonic” missiles for. Well aside from the propaganda value that a German tank factory was destroyed. You can safely assume that the Russians are going to use their better stuff for that factory instead of firing at civilian buildings or train stations with refugees.
