Volkswagen is reportedly considering a major new venture in the defense industry, with plans to build military trucks for the Israeli state-owned group's advanced mobile air defense system, Iron Dome. The system, which has been instrumental in protecting Israeli cities from rocket attacks, relies on a network of mobile launchers that require specialized vehicles to transport and deploy. If the deal goes through, Volkswagen's Osnabrück plant would be the site of production, marking a significant shift for the automaker into the defense sector. The move highlights the growing demand for specialized military equipment and the increasing involvement of major corporations in the defense industry.
