The Nordic Programme is for hundreds of @BAESHagglunds CV90 MkIV tracked vehicles, starting with IFVs, and if realised will be for billions of dollars. The company says a contract will be signed this year. Shephard reports from @cogeseurosatory in Paris.

Suomen turvallusuus menee kaiken edelle ja sen lisäksi meidän on voitava osallistua kaikkiin NATO:n toimintoihin, myös siihen kaikkein tärkeimpään, eli ydinpelotteeseen.
Onneksi suurin osa eduskunnasta katsoi tämän tarpeelliseksi.

France ordered thousands of a machine gun that's 30% lighter than what soldiers usually carry. The FN Evolys cuts weight without losing firepower, and it's a big vote of confidence for the Belgian-made weapon.

Eduskunta hyväksyi vahvalla 2/3 enemmistöllä ydinenergialain muutoksen. Tämä historiallinen uudistus vahvistaa Suomen ja koko Naton turvallisuutta.

Ydinasepolitiikan kokonaisuus on ollut tämän vaalikauden haastavimpia kokonaisuuksia puolustusministeriössä. Vuosien perehtyminen, keskustelut ydinasevaltioiden ja muiden liittolaisten kanssa sekä arvionti miten Suomen turvallisuutta parhaiten vahvistetaan Natossa.

Kiitän kaikkia lakiesitystämme tukeneita kansanedustajia vahvasta tuesta. Kiitos puolustushallinnon ammattilaisille kotimaassa ja maailmalla korkeasta ammattitaidosta myös tässä hankkeessa. 🇫🇮

If Russia launched an attack tomorrow, no country in Europe has the inventory of missiles, drones, or interceptors required to survive the onslaught.

An often overlooked fact of the war in Ukraine is that Ukraine met its invasion backed by a massive foundation of heavy armor, artillery, air defense, and experienced troops, which is a luxury that European states lack entirely.

People often forget that Ukraine had an immense network of air defense systems and armored fleets ready to go on day one. In comparison, the current state of European stockpiles of equipment and munitions is highly alarming.

We are looking at a situation where most European nations possess almost zero ballistic missiles and a very limited number of cruise missiles. Our interceptor stockpiles are also dangerously low, and we completely lack the drone volume needed to counter a modern war machine like Russia.

The current pace of European rearmament is entirely inadequate. We need to step up industrial production and build a real military deterrent far quicker than we currently do. For that, we need to place large orders of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, drones, and interceptors

This is more interesting than armored vehicles: Patria WISPR passive counter battery radar system.

No electronic emissions, capability to see anything from an FPV to artillery shell to loitering drone.

Tracks hundreds of targets.

Germany's Diehl Defence wants to give Ukraine's Flamingo cruise missile a far more advanced seeker. The seeker finds the target and steers the missile.

Diehl also wants to build the upgraded Flamingo in Germany, and is now opening talks with Fire Point — Financial Times. 1/

I want to explain what stage the anti-ballistic missile shield is actually at — so that people don’t have to read about it in the distorted accounts of individual media outlets.

The missile itself is ready. From an aerodynamic standpoint, it fully executes all control commands, and it does so with precision and aggression — exactly as required to intercept ballistic targets. We’ve achieved that.

But this is just one element of the system. To actually intercept ballistic targets, the missile still needs to be integrated with a homing warhead, a command center, and radars.

So let’s be as clear as possible. We’ll be able to intercept ballistic missiles once we have the full system: a seeker from a leading European company, integration with C2 centers, a secure datalink for target designation and correction commands that’s resistant to any electronic warfare jamming, and integrated radars. We are already working on each of these components together with our European partners.

We are doing everything we can to protect the skies over Ukraine and the entire continent as quickly as possible.

Olen samaa mieltä Kasparivin kanssa. Putinilla tuskin on mitään aikeita kotiuttaa lähes 800 tuhatta sodan raaistamaa miestä yhteiskuntaan, vaan niille täytyy tosiaan löytää uusi operaatiosuunta.
Tähän on syytä varautua.
