Rheinmetall-Chef Armin Papperger sorgte mit abfälligen Bemerkungen über die Innovationskraft ukrainischer Drohnenhersteller für Kritik. In einem Interview äußerte er, dass die Drohnenproduktion durch "ukrainische Hausfrauen mit 3D-Druckern" keine Innovation darstelle und mit "Lego spielen" vergleichbar sei. Diese Aussagen lösten in der Ukraine und in der Rüstungsbranche Verwunderung und Kritik aus. Alexander Kamyschin, Berater des ukrainischen Präsidenten Selenskyj, wies darauf hin, dass ukrainische Drohnen bereits 11.000 russische Panzer zerstört hätten und forderte Respekt für die ukrainischen Arbeitskräfte. Rheinmetall reagierte später auf X mit einer Entschuldigung und betonte den Respekt vor den Anstrengungen der Ukraine.
