Talk:Elbit Systems

This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Edit request 24 March 2026

Description of suggested change:

Concerning the fire at the building owned by LPP Holding in the Czech Republic, the facility in question has never made drones in partnership with Elbit Systems, and as per the company itself, it was exclusively making drones for Ukraine, and the talks of partnership/cooperation with Elbit two years ago ended up going nowhere. Based on this, it is in my opinion disengenuous to describe the facility as a Elbit Systems facility, or having solid, verifiable links to the Israeli company. It is very possible that this fire was an attack on a company arming Ukraine committed by a pro-Russian group under the guise of attacking the arms industry of Israel.

I wasn't able to open the linked source, unfortunately. What you're suggesting is not consistent with the general reporting on the issue that I've been able to access, including Czech sources. Please understand that, for better and worse, the content of Wikipedia relies on statements from wp:reliable sources. Lastchapter (talk) 16:36, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

I'll try to attach the articles again, if they don't work, I'll see what else I can do. However, as Novinky.cz, an official spokeswoman for the LPP Holding, Martina Tauberová, said that the company has never produced drones for the Israeli armed forces at that location, and as per Reuters, while it is true LPP planned to cooperate with Elbit Systems in 2023, none of those plans have come to fruition. As per LPPs spokeswoman, the reason for the collaboration never taking place was because the Czech Minstry of Defense cancelled the tender for the production of Israeli drones. I still believe that the article should mention the fact that no drone production for the IDF ever took place at the facility.

Thank you for sharing these. I was able to open the Nivinky article. It appears that the Russia connection theory is less supported in sources at this time, whereas most (if not all) sources link the arson to the Elbit partnership. I added the statement from LPP spokesperson to the article. Lastchapter (talk) 18:50, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

Ulm 5 and NATO edit request 6 April 2026

Description of suggested change:

Multiple changes related to the Ulm 5 and NATO, to make this page align with the information from the German Elbit Wikipedia article.

1. In the first paragraph there is mention of protests at Elbit facotories. Recently this also happened in Ulm, Germany. So, to make this page more accurate, I suggest adding the words ", and Germany" to that sentence.

2. In the Ethical Concerns and Divestment paragraph, I suggest adding an update about the Ulm 5 protestors. This section has been added to the German version of this wikipedia page, so it would be good to add it here as well.

In 2025, following a sustained campaign of direct action by groups, including Palestine Action, which targeted their offices with protests and occupations, both Allianz and Aviva terminated their insurance contracts with Elbit's UK subsidiaries. Allianz ended its coverage of Elbit Systems UK, while Aviva ceased insuring UAV Engines.

Allianz ended its coverage of Elbit Systems UK, while Aviva ceased insuring UAV Engines. Palestine Action were also arrested after demonstrating at the Elbit site in Ulm, Germany. The protestors, who have been in pre-trial detention since September 2025, maintain that their goal was to highlight the complicity of Elbit Systems in the killing of Gazan civilians. The lawyer of the so-called 'Ulm 5' have called for immediate release of the activists and an investigation into the close involvement of Elbit Systems Deutschland in war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza.

3. Finally, there is no mention yet of the NATO situation (translated from the German Wikipedia article): "Elbit Systems has been banned by NATO from participating in award ceremonies for arms contracts since May 2025 due to ongoing corruption investigations." This could be added at the end of the Ethical concerns and divestment section.

Under section "Ethical concerns and divestment", in the last paragraph, it reads:

"In 2025, following a sustained campaign of direct action by groups, including Palestine Action, which targeted their offices with protests and occupations, both Allianz and Aviva terminated their insurance contracts with Elbit's UK subsidiaries. Allianz ended its coverage of Elbit Systems UK, while Aviva ceased insuring UAV Engines.[40][41][42] Palestine Action were also arrested after demonstrating at the Elbit plant in Ulm, Germany. The protestors, who have been in pre-trial detention since September 2025, maintain that their goal was to highlight the complicity of Elbit Systems in the killing of Gazan civilians. The lawyer of the 'Ulm 5' has called for the immediate release of the activists and an investigation into the close involvement of Elbit in war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza.[43]"

The perpetrators who committed the break-in to the Elbit facility in the UK are not protestors, but are criminal who broke-in to private property and nearly killed a police officer, and they are charged, convicted and recognized by the UK government as terrorists.

They are neither activists nor protestors. ZeroByter (talk) 07:29, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
