🇩🇪🇺🇦 German-Ukrainian partnership for ground drones ARX Robotics and Roboneers announced on the 4th. In October 2026, a technology partnership for unmanned ground systems is signed in Kiev. The agreement was made in the presence of Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz and President Volodymyr Zelenskyi and builds on an existing joint venture since June 2026. The aim of the cooperation is to technically integrate the systems of both companies, including ARX’ Gereon vehicles and Mithra OS as well as Roboneers’ Rys Pro and Saber RWS. The partnership aims to provide the Ukrainian military with a large number of robust ground vehicles for logistics, wounded transport and ammunition supplies. In doing so, front-line experiences feed into the further development of Western land systems, while the financial amount and the timetable of cooperation are not mentioned. #Germany #Ukraine 🔰 Don't miss out!

🇪🇺 European Sky Shield Initiative makes progress The European Sky Shield Initiative (ESSI) bundles procurement of airborne systems such as IRIS‐T SLM and Patriot PAC‐3 MSE among participating European countries. Joint orders are expected to simplify training, maintenance and logistics and increase the availability of missiles. However, ESSI does not replace NATO structures, but supports the translation of needs into concrete procurement within the Alliance. Despite progress, a ready-to-use, comprehensive protective umbrella is still lacking, as production, training and infrastructure take time. The aim is to make European contributions to common air defence faster, more uniform and more sustainable. #EU 🔰 Don't miss out! Subscribe here: @MilitaryNewsEN

🇩🇪🇷🇺🛡 Air defense expansion despite lack of concept Germany is planning a massive expansion of its ground-based air defenses in the face of the Russian air threat. According to current plans, the numbers of A400M transport aircraft are to be set at 53. There is currently no overarching air defense concept, although such documents were created earlier. The total cost of the project is estimated at three-digit billions. The budget legislature must therefore develop its own standards for arms planning. #Germany #Russia 🔰 Don't miss out!

🇮🇱⚡️🇮🇷 Netanyahu: “We have destroyed Iran’s plan” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Iran had used nuclear weapons to “destroy and wipe Israel off the map.” With combined forces, however, Israel had “smashed” this plan. Netanyahu also warned that anyone who attacked Israel or held hostages “lived on loan.” You will reach them, as well as the others before. To international critics, Netanyahu said Israel is waging a “war of rebirth.” There is no more necessary and just war. At the same time, leaders told him that Israel had “risen from the abyss” after October 7 and had given humanity hope that the forces of darkness could be defeated. #Iran #Israel 🔰 Don't miss out!

🇩🇪🛳 Emden becomes second North Sea Naval Base On 5 October 2026, the Ministry of Defence, the State of Lower Saxony, the Federal Institute for Real Estate Tasks and the City of Emden signed a letter of intent for a second naval port on the North Sea. The declaration is not legally binding and serves as a basis for further examinations, since Wilhelmshaven alone cannot meet the future needs for berths and support capacities. It is planned to use the Knock/Rysumer Hals area west of Emdens, with up to 450 hectares for berths, utilities and up to 2,000 service posts. The location will primarily accommodate support and supply ships and will also be used for troop transfers over the civilian port. Further investigations into the feasibility are ongoing, with a final decision expected after the examinations have been completed and with the involvement of the Bundeswehr Infrastructure Acceleration Act. #Germany 🔰 Don't miss out!

!?️🇮🇱🇮🇶 USA give Israel the green light for attacks in Iraq According to a report by the Emirati media Erem News (quoted by Maariv and Israel Hayom), the US has lifted restrictions on the Israeli air force in Iraqi airspace. This paves the way for attacks on Iranian-backed militias. * Preparations: IDF and Mossad have completed their operational preparations, according to anonymous Western sources. An official confirmation from Washington or Jerusalem is pending. * Objective: disruption of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) supply route via Iraq to Lebanon, transporting precision missiles, long-range drones, money and logistics. * Context: The US troop withdrawal increases Israel’s concern about the strengthening of the militias that Baghdad can hardly control. The USA, however, still holds an important leverage against the Iraqi government over the control of Iraqi oil revenues. #Iraq #Israel 🔰 Don't miss out! Subscribe here: @MilitaryNewsEN
