    Read the actual article. The missiles are licensed made in Germany on an existing prodcution line owned by a company, which is 80% owned by German defense companies.

      If I give France $1,000,000,000 to use a specific shade of color, but make the color on Brazilian machinery owned by Brazilians… I’ve still given France $1B. Have I not?

        But this is buying $1B worth of color from the Brazilians. They probably end up giving some licensing money to the French, but it is going to be much less then $1B, if they have not done it in the past.

      Yeah, but the headline aligns with OP’s narrative, this is what all this is about. Authoritarian propaganda.

      80 percent of shares are held by German defense companies Rheinmetall and Diehl, with the remaining 20 percent owned by Dutch holding company Ercas B.V.
