Excited to receive hard copies of my book published @BrisUniPress!! I offer a new theory about how defence cooperation in Europe works. My cat is not impressed, though. I rely heavily on the works @xymenakurowska @AndrewDormanIA @AlicePannier @HakonSaxi @andrewcottey @DSD_Kings

🇺🇦🇪🇺 Ukraine builds 4 million drones a year. It's showing Europe how to fight.

Dr. @Bence_Nemeth — leading European defence analyst — in an exclusive interview says Ukraine and Russia are now years ahead of most NATO countries in drone warfare and modern military doctrine. Europe is playing catch-up. But the lessons are there if it moves fast enough.

"If Russia challenges NATO in the Baltics, they already have the casualties data, the doctrine, the training, the production capacity."

Poland asked Germany for tanks in 2022. Germany said 8-10 years for the first 15. South Korea delivered in 3 months.

Europe has the capacity to catch up. The question is whether it moves fast enough.

Could South Korea’s #nuclear #submarines reshape the undersea balance?
Dr Bence Nemeth says their greater submerged endurance and mobility would make it much harder for North Korea to plan for South Korean submarine operations.

Is South Korea entering the elite loyal-wingman race?
S. Korea is developing turbofan, fit for collaborative combat aircraft systems. Dr Bence Nemeth says this targets the upper end of the market, where its aerospace strengths are most relevant.

Is South Korea’s most advanced fighter competitive in the global market?
Dr Bence Nemeth suggests the KF-21 could be competitive, particularly on cost and delivery, but its success will depend on politics and long-term support.

Will Japan’s new arms export rules spark a high-end defence boom? 
Dr Bence Nemeth says #Japan is shifting to a high-end export strategy focused on advanced systems rather than price competition. This could support programmes like #GCAP by spreading costs.

What if the #US cuts ties with #Europe?
Dr Bence Nemeth argues that Europe remains the bedrock of US global force projection, and severing those ties would be costly in both time and resources.
