Germany 62billion to 80 billion to 100 billion next year. Sweden lend 30 billion to buy / build some stuff this year.
Not a single politician can stop this.. 🤦♂️
@antibearthesis Its a classic to take it on your house or summer house for 2,8% and buy some stocks.. people are doing it, but only rich people. Poor people buy a Tesla Model 3, a new roof and a new kitchen.
Ukraine may have found a cheap way to give a drone extra range.
Let a balloon do the first 42 km.

Ukrainian troops reportedly tested launching the Ukrainian-American Hornet one-way attack drone from an aerostat. The balloon carried it 42 km and released it from 8 km altitude.
ㅤ
The drone used only about 5% of its battery before beginning its own flight.
ㅤ
The trick is simple: the balloon provides distance and altitude, while the drone keeps almost all of its battery for the real mission. If proven at scale, it could push Hornet’s estimated 100–150 km reach by another 1.5 to 2 times.

This is what Ukrainian defense innovation often looks like: clever ways to stretch what already exists.

The highest recorded speeding fine in Finland is €121,000 (about $130k USD), given in 2023 to multimillionaire Anders Wiklöf for doing 82 km/h in a 50 km/h zone.
