Battle for the German Leopards: The state loses control of tank production, keys to salvage several families

The article discusses tensions between Germany and France regarding the ownership of shares in the defense company KNDS, which produces tanks like the Leopard 2.

The German subsidiary of KNDS, formerly known as Krauss Maffei-Wegmann (KMW), plays a crucial role in national security by supplying armored vehicles.

OBRAMBENI DIV

10.06.2026. u 23:00

Još jedna točka sporenja između Njemačke i Francuske jest veličina od samo deset milimetara.

Njemačka smatra kritično važnim održati jednak udio u obrambenom divu KNDS-u s Francuskom, ali trenutačni vlasnici nećkaju se prodati dionice koje su državi potrebne kako bi osigurala paritet s Francuskom. KNDS je važna tvrtka za Njemačku, a za sada u njoj 50 posto vlasništva ima Francuska, kroz državnu tvrtku, te njemački privatni investitori.

S političke perspektive, ovaj međunarodno aktivni proizvođač oružja nije bilo koja tvrtka. Njegova njemačka podružnica, KNDS Deutschland – prije poznata kao Krauss Maffei-Wegmann (KMW) – sa sjedištem u Münchenu, proizvodi tenkove poput Leoparda 2 i Boxera. Tvrtka je desetljećima jedan od najvažnijih dobavljača njemačkim oružanim snagama i smatra se ključnom komponentom arhitekture nacionalne sigurnosti.
