This, unlike all the hand-wringing over the US role in NATO, is a profound piece on what a future US-less European defence will perforce look like. It will scare some but that focuses minds. In our current security vacuum, I think the future Gady (@HoansSolo) paints here is #NATO #EuropeanDefense #SecurityPolicy #US
🇦🇹 Neutrality is dead. Long live NATO. Today, Austrian soldiers marched proudly on the Champs-Élysées in Paris alongside our European partners as part of the Coalition of the Willing. I am proud of the professionalism, discipline and dedication of the Austrian Armed Forces. Their https://t.co/t2F2LeHxEL #Austria #NATO #EuropeanDefense #AT #FR
In Ankara ging het over NAVO-samenwerking op politiek niveau en met de defensie-industrie. Vandaag op Vliegbasis Leeuwarden zag ik hoe goed samenwerking in de militaire praktijk werkt. Tijdens een trainingsdag van de Weapons Instructor Course (WIC) keek ik mee hoe vliegers en andere specialisten van verschillende Europese luchtmachten onder Nederlandse leiding worden opgeleid tot tactische leiders van het hoogste niveau. Momenteel trainen hier Nederlandse vliegers met collega’s uit België, Denemarken, Finland en Noorwegen. Indrukwekkend om te zien en mooi om te spreken met verschillende vliegers en het ondersteunend personeel over hun ervaringen. Dit is de kracht van de NAVO en van Europese samenwerking daarbinnen. Samen werken we aan de veiligheid van Nederland én van onze bondgenoten. #NATO #militarycooperation #EuropeanDefense
Always a pleasure to talk with @vonderleyen. We discussed Russia's illegal war in Ukraine and how to strengthen European defense. Europe supports Ukraine. Europe is taking more responsibility for its own security. https://t.co/0rRtliWMzP #Ukraine #EuropeanDefense #Security #RU #UA #EU
Europe must strengthen its own pillar within the NATO Alliance and be prepared for the 'what if'. If the US reduces its military presence, Europe must be ready to take responsibility and build its own command structures and own capabilities. #NATOsummit https://t.co/zcArVirDLW #NATO #EuropeanDefense #MilitaryReadiness #EU #US
Instead of buying American Boeing reconnaissance aircraft, NATO will buy up to ten GlobalEye aircraft from Swedish Saab. Trump's policies have made Europeans put Europe first. #NATO #GlobalEye #EuropeanDefense #US #SE #NATO

After every Russian escalation into a NATO country we hear leaders repeating the mantra "We stand with..." But we could do much more than standing around. For example — we could create a European-Ukrainian defense union. Fund it with confiscated Russian frozen assets. Close the #NATOSolidarity #DefendUkraine #EuropeanDefense #RU #NATO #UA #EU
Germany, France, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom are leading efforts in the military integration of artificial intelligence (AI), with initiatives like Germany and Ukraine's "Brave Germany" program for AI-enabled strike drones, while European countries are increasingly prioritizing AI in decision-making and weapon systems to enhance defense capabilities. #AIMilitaryIntegration #DefenseTechnology #EuropeanDefense #DE #FR #UA #GB
Analysts highlight that Germany, France, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom are at the forefront of integrating artificial intelligence into military operations in Europe, as demonstrated by initiatives like Germany and Ukraine's "Brave Germany" program involving AI-enabled drones, and various partnerships aimed at enhancing decision-making and combat capabilities through AI technologies. #AIMilitaryIntegration #EuropeanDefense #ArtificialIntelligence #DE #FR #UA #GB
‼️ European defense needs to be improved. It must be fast and innovative. We need to take advantage of the fact that we are good at producing drones, jamming devices, or systems based on artificial intelligence. And that is exactly what the new program AGILE targets. Next-generation defense, essentially a drone program - that's what I think. (translated)
European officials are convening in Brussels to discuss military and strategic support for Ukraine amid its ongoing conflict with Russia, while also addressing broader regional security issues, such as the situation in the Middle East and the EU's own defense readiness, as some member states debate the approach to negotiating with Russia. #EuropeanDefense #UkraineCrisis #InternationalRelations #RU #UA #EU #IR #LB #PL #US #IS
This analysis is spot on: Europe urgently needs credible deep-strike capabilities. Ukrainian long-range weapons are the fastest short-term option. European industry can deliver quickly too. Beggars can’t be choosers, and time is not on our side. #DeepStrike #EuropeanDefense #UkrainianWeapons #EU #UA
El artículo analiza la próxima Cumbre de la OTAN en Ankara y los desafíos que enfrenta la alianza, especialmente con la posible salida de Estados Unidos, la necesidad de una mayor europeización de la OTAN y la importancia de mantener la confianza entre los aliados europeos y Washington en un contexto de creciente populismo y tensiones internas. #NATO #EuropeanDefense #Geopolitics
As Poland and Lithuania prepare to finalize nearly €50 billion in defence loans to enhance their military capabilities ahead of Russia's Victory Day parade, EU defence chief Andrius Kubilius emphasizes the urgency for Europe to accelerate its defence production amidst concerns over Russian military expansion. #EuropeanDefense #Security #NATO #PL #LT #RU #HU #UA
Laut einer Expertengruppe ist eine weitgehende verteidigungspolitische Autonomie Europas ohne die USA technologisch machbar und finanziell tragbar, wobei die geschätzten Kosten von rund 500 Milliarden Euro über ein Jahrzehnt vor allem eine Frage des politischen Willens darstellen. #EuropeanDefense #StrategicAutonomy #PoliticalWill
In einem aktuellen Papier plädieren prominente europäische Experten dafür, dass Europa in zehn militärischen Bereichen, wie der Drohnenproduktion und der Luftverteidigung, eigene Systeme entwickeln sollte, um sich langfristig von der militärischen Abhängigkeit der USA zu befreien, was innerhalb von fünf bis zehn Jahren mit einem politisch geführten und finanziell umsetzbaren Plan realisierbar wäre. #EuropeanDefense #MilitaryIndependence #Sparta2.0
Die Autoren des Papiers "Sparta 2.0" argumentieren, dass Europa seine militärische Abhängigkeit von den USA innerhalb von drei bis fünf Jahren durch gezielte Investitionen und politische Willensbildung überwinden kann, indem es eigene Verteidigungssysteme in zehn Schlüsselbereichen entwickelt. #EuropeanDefense #MilitaryAutonomy #DefenseInnovation
Ein neuer Bericht von Moritz Schularick und anderen betont, dass Europa seine militärische Abhängigkeit von den USA durch eigene Entwicklungen in zehn Schlüsselbereichen überwinden kann, ohne zusätzliche Kosten, vorausgesetzt, es gibt den politischen Willen zur Überwindung der gegenwärtigen Fragmentierung in der Verteidigungspolitik. #EuropeanDefense #MilitaryIndependence #DefensePolicy
