German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall AG wants to build its first armored vehicles in Ukraine next year, Chief Executive Armin Papperger was cited as saying by German magazine WirtschaftsWoche.
Nope… that’s a translation mistake. Or rather a mistake of translating Fuchs to Fox in the text implying Lynx is also a translation…
It’s not. They are talking about Rheinmetall’s KF41 Lynx. Their modern IFV (with a lot of elements from the Puma minus the Bundeswehr specific stuff - basically the closest thing to an Puma export model), which Hungary ordered ~200 of iirc (produced domestically) and which the US is also evaluating right now as one of the last contestents in one of their IFV tenders.
They indeed wrote “on the construction of Fuchs armored transport vehicles - named after the German word for fox - and Lynx infantry fighting vehicles by early next year” which of course isn’t wrong but might help to confuse.

Thanks. It was my mistake then, as they didn’t translate Fuchs. I just happen to know Fuchs and Luchs from personal experience, and just assumed.
