BrennpunktUA referred to the visit of German Chancellor Merz to Kyiv and wrote that, according to DW, Zelensky had promised the delivery of long-range weapons. At the same time, ERR reported on a new Swedish concept for air force operations in the event of a Russian attack, which envisages offensive operations and attacks deep in Russian territory. A central element would be JAS-39 Gripen fighter jets equipped with German Taurus cruise missiles with a range of up to 500 kilometers. Sweden would deliver the first Gripen versions C and D to Ukraine at the beginning of 2027, BrennpunktUA wrote. Sweden itself currently does not use Taurus, although Saab has been involved in their development and production. The first successful test launch only took place in August 2026; the missile is intended to be integrated into Gripen versions C, D, and E. BrennpunktUA noted that Sweden would continue to use the Gripen C and D despite the transfer to Ukraine. With this, Ukraine could have a type of fighter jet capable of deploying the Taurus for the first time starting in early 2027. The author did not rule out that the German government might be considering Taurus deliveries to Ukraine behind the scenes, even though it remains cautious about explicitly naming the types of weapons supplied. The announced integration of the Taurus into Gripen C and D caught his attention in light of reports about German long-range weapons deliveries. #UkrainischeKrise #Luftwaffe #Kampfflugzeuge (translated)

🛩️Mittlerweile täglich fangen ukrainische F-16-Kampfflugzeuge russische Geran-5-Düsendrohnen ab. 🚨Nicht etwa mit Luft-Luft-Raketen, sondern mit ihrer Bordkanone. Dazu müssen sie sich den sprengstoffbeladenen 600km/h-Drohnen auf wenige Meter nähern. 💪Wahre Helden der Lüfte!🫡 https://t.co/NBiZha1lKb #UkrainischeLuftwaffe #F16 #Drohnenabwehr #UA #RU
Verantwortungsvolle Regierungen müssten chinesische Fahrzeuge generell in Europa verbieten. Wenn sie doch in Europa verkaufen wollen, müssten sie in Europa oder freigegebenen Staaten des Westens produziert werden und die Software müsste aus Europa oder den USA kommen. Jedwede festgestellte Verbindung zu einem Server in China müsste zu furchtbaren finanziellen Strafen führen. Stattdessen überlässt man China in praktisch allen strategischen Bereichen zunehmend den vollständigen Markt und damit die vollständige Kontrolle. Wenn der Konflikt losgeht, schalten sich Strom und Wasser ab, und kein Fahrzeug fährt mehr. Und ja, das hat man dann kommen sehen. Und reden wir noch gar nicht von den Grundstückskäufen rund um Militärbasen herum. Von wo aus dann Drohnen starten können, um Kampfflugzeuge noch am Boden zu zerstören. Man verkauft den Strick, mit dem man aufgeknüpft wird. #Europa #Sicherheit #Wirtschaft
Italien steht vor der Frage, ob es im Nahen Osten unbeabsichtigt in einen Konflikt verwickelt wird, nachdem Verteidigungsminister Guido Crosetto die Entsendung von vier Kriegsschiffen zur Eskortierung italienischer Frachtschiffe angekündigt hat und ein italienisches Kampfflugzeug von einer Huthi-Drohne getroffen wurde. #Italien #Nahostkonflikt #Krieg
