Krzysztof Mazur listed European companies and technologies from various industries, arguing that Europe still has significant industrial achievements. Among the examples he cited were Porsche, BMW, Ferrari, Mercedes, and Rolls-Royce cars, Bosch and Siemens automation, ABB robotics, ASML lithography, Airbus A350 aircraft, Ariane 6 rocket, Rafale and Gripen fighters from SAAB, and TRUMPF industrial lasers. He also mentioned, among others, EDF and Schneider in nuclear energy, STMicroelectronics and Infineon in semiconductor manufacturing, Nokia and Ericsson in telecommunications, Siemens Healthineers, Novo Nordisk, BioNTech, AstraZeneca, and Roche in medicine, as well as the Galileo and Copernicus systems and ICEYE and OHB satellites. The list also included Thales radars, Naval Group submarines, Rheinmetall artillery systems, Leonardo helicopters, Kongsberg missiles, Vestas and Siemens turbines, and trains from Alstom, Siemens, Newag, and Pesa. Among further examples, he mentioned the Mistral AI language models, Pasqal and IQM quantum computers, Wilk Electronics memory cards, and prototypes for fusion reactors from Proxima Fusion. Mazur wrote that Europe should regain its technological pride. He assessed that the continent missed the digital revolution but still has excellent companies and technologies. #technologia #innowacje #przemysł (translated)

Adam Mazguła criticized Rafał Jankowski and the board of the NSZZ Policjantów after Jankowski stated that police officers "do not stand on the side of the government." He claimed that such a position undermines loyalty to constitutional organs of the state and could lead to anarchy. He accused Jankowski of having political ties to PiS and argued that his statement encourages police officers not to fulfill their duties. Mazguła referred to Article 27, point 1 of the Police Act of April 6, 1990, and cited the oath taken by police officers. He argued that police officers should serve Poland and its constitutional bodies, including the democratically elected government and the Minister of the Interior and Administration. He also accused the NSZZ board and Jankowski of focusing on pay and benefits. The author wrote that Jankowski did not respond to what he described as cases of death following police interventions, the use of violence against women and peaceful demonstrators, the detention of a female MP, the shooting of a “Solidarity” journalist, as well as repression and falsification of evidence against democratic opposition activists. These were Mazguła's accusations against Jankowski. Mazguła urged policewomen and policemen to serve Poland, not politics, and to use force against those breaking the law. He added that since Jankowski informed institutions of his position, he also conveyed his opinion to them. #PrawdąWOczy #WPoczuciuOdpowiedzialności #TarczaWolnościSłowa #BronimyKonstytucji #ŻołnierzGorszegoSortu #PrawaCzłowieka #WolnośćSłowa #ŚwieckośćPaństwa #PrawaKobiet #WojskoPolskie #Policja #Praworządność #Bezpieczeństwo (translated)
The pilot of the passenger Boeing 737-800, due to a communication error, inadvertently sent a hijacking signal, which prompted interception by a Croatian Rafale fighter jet and the initiation of security procedures in several European countries. #otmica #zrakoplov #Boeing (translated)
Cerfia indicated, citing Les Échos, that France is accelerating the development of its future combat aircraft following the abandonment of the Franco-German SCAF program. According to the report, the air force plans to start the production of the Rafale F5, nicknamed "Super Rafale," as early as December, equipped with modernized detection systems featuring AI, a new engine, and a missile intended for nuclear deterrence. Cerfia also reported that France is preparing its own future combat aircraft, the ACF, with work planned to begin in 2027 and an operational development phase starting in 2029. The HypAIRion program was expected to enable fighter jets and drones to operate together using AI, with the first flight combining a Rafale with a targeted drone scheduled for 2028. The report added that the goal was to increase the fighter fleet to at least 230 aircraft by 2035, compared to about 130 today. These projects remain contingent on the adoption of the 2027 budget, which foresees up to 3 billion euros in orders for the Rafale F5 and 2.7 billion euros in authorizations for its successor, according to Cerfia. #ArméeDeLAir #Aéronautique #DéfenseNationale (translated)
In Germany, due to an alarm about a possible hijacking of a Boeing 737 passenger plane, which had a communication system failure, the airport in Nuremberg was temporarily closed, and Rafale and Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets were involved in the operation, while all passengers and crew members safely landed after the controversy. #Zrakoplovstvo #Sigurnost #Hrvatska (translated)
"According to the preliminary results of the investigation, it seems that the emergency signal was sent due to a malfunction of the aircraft's radio communication system," said Bonett, Times of Malta reports. #Boeing #Rafale #sigurnost (translated)
It was later determined that there was a failure within the radio communication system and that the backup was also malfunctioning, which is very rare," said Anušić. #Boeing #Rafale #sigurnost (translated)
The German special police were waiting at the airport in Nuremberg for a Boeing that was emitting a hijacking signal, which is why it was intercepted by a Croatian Rafale over Croatia, and investigators discovered new details about the malfunctions of the plane's communication system. #Boeing #Rafale #sigurnost (translated)

The Slovenian Army informed Hungary and Italy about a passenger Boeing 737 that sent a false hijacking signal over Croatia, and Croatia sent a Rafale fighter jet that escorted the aircraft to the Slovenian border, where it flew very briefly before continuing its journey to Germany. #otmica #slovenija #rafale (translated)
A Croatian Rafale fighter intercepted a Maltese commercial plane that emitted a false hijacking signal, following an order from NATO's Joint Air Command from Spain, and the incident turned out to be a technical failure. #Rafale #OTAN #DefensaCroata (translated)
It was later established that there was a malfunction within the radio communication system and that the backup was also down, which is very rare. A signal on the transponder that indicated a hijacking of the plane was likely mistakenly activated, but the investigation is not yet complete and we do not have confirmation. "The malfunction of the radio communication system and the likely mistakenly activated hijacking signal on the transponder were the cause of the interception of the Maltese passenger plane by the Croatian Rafale," said Defense Minister Ivan Anušić on Tuesday, adding that the investigation is still ongoing. #Rafale #Hrvatska #NATO (translated)

"We received information about a passenger plane crossing our airspace and there is a signal that an attempted hijacking is in progress. It did not respond to inquiries and we have escorted it out of the airspace," said Anušić and continued: "The investigation is still ongoing, but it seems that the signal was mistakenly activated. This served as an excellent exercise. It is a specific situation, with a passenger plane that can serve as a serious instrument for a terrorist attack. Our aircraft was in close escort, and the pilots of the passenger aircraft responded to visual signals." #Rafale #HrvatskoRatnoZrakoplovstvo #presretanjezrakoplova (translated)
