    Also being 1000km from the frontline in another country is a massive advantage. It means Russia can not easily bomb it.

    Yes, but it is not the 1000km from the frontline the point, it is the fact that it is in another country. The plant could be 50 Km from the frontline but as long as it is in another country (Germany in this case) Russia cannot hit it, even if they are able to.
    True, there is always a “we made a mistake” story but honestly I would be very carefull to make such “mistake”.
