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)

The author supported the workers of the Fonderie de Bretagne, which he described as a strategic factory for the country. He held the government responsible, blaming it for having ceded the site to a vulture fund, and called for its nationalization. According to him, Renault and Thales could guarantee order volumes. He also denounced hypocrisy. #SoutienOuvriers #FonderieDeBretagne #Nationalisation #FR (translated)

Joan Larroumec presented the tensions between France and Germany as a result of increasing competition, particularly in the defense industry. He indicated that Berlin planned military spending of €108 billion in 2026, compared to €57 billion for Paris, and nearly €140 billion in 2027. According to him, Germany was seeking to use these expenditures as a lever for economic transformation, while its historical industrial model was weakened. Larroumec notably cited the decline in German exports to China, which he claimed fell from €106 billion in 2022 to €81 billion in 2025, as well as a reduction of 142,400 jobs in the German automotive industry since 2019. He also wrote that German defense start-ups had received $3.5 billion in investments in 2026, compared to $375 million in France, and that Berlin had concluded a framework agreement with Helsing and Stark that could reach €4.3 billion. He estimated that this strategy heightened rivalries between the two countries and jeopardized their joint programs. He reported that Paris and Berlin acknowledged on June 8 that the SCAF could not be successfully executed, and that the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces announced Germany's abandonment of the MGCS tank program. He also mentioned competition in drones, artificial intelligence, and space, where, according to him, Germany was seeking to reduce France's position. Finally, Larroumec argued that France's financial difficulties limited its ability to invest in defense and risked weakening its industry. He stated that French and German interests were becoming increasingly misaligned and that this situation could lead to chaotic episodes in Europe. #France #Allemagne #Défense (translated)

Naval Analyses reported that Thales confirmed, following his inquiry, that it proposed to the Navy the installation of the R-ECM VIRGILIUS jammer along with the R-ESM SENTINEL system on the Kimon-class frigates (FDI HN), for the completion of the electronic warfare suite. According to Naval Analyses, the same combination of sensors was to be installed on the four destroyers of the Horizon program of Italy and France, as part of their upgrade. #ΠολεμικόΝαυτικό #Τεχνολογία #Ασφάλεια (translated)

Le projet HexaForce de Thales, qui se développe en partie en Belgique, vise à concurrencer le système controversé de Palantir sur les champs de bataille en proposant une intelligence artificielle transparente et éthique, tout en affirmant que la prise de décision militaire doit rester entre les mains humaines. #Thales #Palantir #IntelligenceArtificielle

❗️ [ 🇫🇷 FRANCE ] 🔸 Plusieurs sites sensibles de l’industrie de défense, de l’aéronautique, du spatial et de la recherche scientifique sont actuellement sous haute surveillance alors que l’incendie en Gironde, qui a déjà ravagé 42 000 hectares, se dirige vers le sud-ouest de la métropole bordelaise. Le ministère des Armées indique que des « experts et des moyens » ont été déployés pour assurer la sécurité des sites industriels. À Saint-Médard-en-Jalles et au Haillan, notamment, plusieurs sites d’ArianeGroup sont exposés. Le groupe dispose notamment de sites spécialisés dans le chargement en propergol des missiles balistiques M51 et dans la production de moteurs destinés au lanceur Ariane 6. Des sites de Roxel France, Dassault, Safran et Thales se trouvent également dans la zone. Des travaux de terrassement et de génie civil ont été menés autour de plusieurs sites sensibles afin de créer des pare-feux et de supprimer la végétation susceptible de servir de combustible à l’incendie. La préfète de Gironde a notamment salué la mobilisation des entreprises du BTP. Plus au sud, le site du CEA Cesta, au Barp, qui abrite notamment le Laser Mégajoule, est également surveillé. Selon le CEA, la situation est sous contrôle et aucun risque n’est identifié à ce stade. Le site est notamment protégé par des zones non arborées qui le tiennent à distance de la forêt. Les autorités ont tiré les leçons des mégafeux de 2022, lorsque l’incendie de Landiras avait menacé la commune. L’armée avait alors contribué à la création d’un important pare-feu. Le site du CEA, qui travaille notamment sur la dissuasion nucléaire et abrite le Laser Mégajoule, est considéré comme stratégique et fait l’objet d’une attention particulière de l’État. #France #Incendie #Sécurité

🃏 Sportv comenta ida de Neymar a torneio de pôquer: Thales Machado: “Torneio de pôquer envolve noites em claro. Torneio de pôquer, inclusive, tem massagem durante o jogo, porque o jogador fica muito tempo sentado. O Neymar precisa pensar se esse hobby não está atrapalhando a carreira dele.” 🎥 @sportv @geglobo | 📸 Divulgação https://t.co/XhTm3qIsgF #Neymar #Poker #Sport

Le projet Bliksem EXO, soutenu par un consortium européen incluant Destinus, MBDA, Safran, Airbus et Thales, vise à développer un intercepteur exoatmosphérique pour contrer les menaces de missiles balistiques, avec des travaux d'ingénierie devant commencer en août 2026 et un test spatial prévu en 2027, tout en offrant une alternative souveraine à des systèmes existants comme l'Arrow 3. #BliksemEXO #DéfenseEuropéenne #Antimissiles

Był program europejskiego czolgu (MGCS) do którego Polski nie dopuścili. Kupiliśmy K2 i Abramsy (które już są), a z europejskiego czołgu, który już kosztował 1,5 mld euro nie ma nic. Następnie była tarcza antybalistyczna Europy zainicjowana przez Niemcy (ESSI) z 2022r z której właściwie nie ma nic. Stworzono też program europejskiego odpowiednika pocisków Tomahawk (ELSA), który może się zmaterializuje w 2029r, a rakiety byśmy dostali może po kolejnych 5 latach? Więc podpisaliśmy umowę i zaraz będziemy produkować Baraccudy od Andurila. Teraz mamy Antybalistyczną Koalicję Rakietową, w której są Włosi, Brytyjczycy, Francuzi, Ukraińcy, Niemcy i S-ka. Już widzę jak MBDA, Safran, Thales, Rheinmetal, Fire Point, Leonardo i Konsberg się dogadują, dzielą tajemnicami, równo rozkładają produkcję i zaczynają produkować rakiety tysiącami za 2 lata🤦‍♂️ Tymczasem Polska JUŻ jest JEDYNYM państwem w Europie, które ma zaprojektowany i zamówiony KOMPLEKSOWY WIELOWARSTWOWY SYSTEM OBRONY PRZECIWLOTNICZEJ w 3 warstwach (Wisła, Narew, Pilica+, San, Mieczniki z wyrzutniami rakiet CAMM), pod który mamy już SWOJE satelity, samoloty rozpoznawcze AWACS, zaraz okręty rozpoznawcze projektu DELFIN, własne radary, areostaty spięte pod jeden system IBCS i te komponenty cały czas są już w fazie dostaw. Także ponownie, nasi "realiści" z bożej łaski płaczą jakby te europejskie inicjatywy działały, a my moglibyśmy czekać 100 lat aż się Niemcy z Francuzami dogadają. Niech Pan Orzeł i Spółka od Bartosiaka napije się zimnej wody, bo z was tacy realiści jak z koziej d... trąbka. #Bezpieczeństwo #Obrona #Polska
