German Minister of Defense supports car companies in making weapons, "turning towards" future prospects questioned.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said on the 21st that, in the context of pressure facing the German automotive industry, he supports German car manufacturers producing military products. Some people have raised doubts about whether this kind of "shift" can be effective. According to reports from the Russian news agency, Pistorius visited a factory of the German-French joint venture defense system company KNDS in Germany that day and stated that the German automotive industry is facing difficulties, while the military industry has a "huge demand" for labor and production facilities. Adjusting the production direction of the former will benefit both industries.
