Record newspaper’s beautiful article on Cristiano Ronaldo:
Record on Cristiano Ronaldo:
There is something strange about Portugal's relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo. For more than two decades, we have demanded the impossible from him. And, almost unbelievably, he often delivered it. Now, as the years pass and football reminds us that no one can defeat time, many seem to have chosen to forget.
They have forgotten who permanently put Portugal on the world football map. They have forgotten who transformed a talented national team into one that was respected and feared. They have forgotten who broke record after record, who wore the Portugal shirt hundreds of times, and who was present in moments of glory as well as moments of pain.
Cristiano Ronaldo is not perfect. No athlete is perfect. No human being is perfect. But the ease with which some people try to reduce his career to a missed penalty, a poor performance, or a disappointing result says more about our collective memory than it does about the player himself.
Football has a simple truth: no one wins alone. When Portugal won, the coaches, teammates, staff, administrators, and, of course, the players on the pitch all won together. But if no one wins alone, then no one draws alone either, and no one loses alone.
When the national team fails to achieve a goal, the responsibility belongs to everyone. It is unfair and irrational to turn one player—even if that player is Cristiano Ronaldo—into the sole face of success or failure.
For years, Ronaldo was criticized for not winning trophies with Portugal. Then he won the European Championship and the Nations League. He was criticized for depending on the team. Then he was accused of trying to do everything by himself. He was criticized when he cried, and criticized when he did not cry. The truth is that many of his critics are not looking for balance; they are simply looking for a new reason to attack him.
Cristiano Ronaldo's legacy goes far beyond goals, trophies, and records. He is a rare example of discipline, longevity, and professionalism. A boy from Madeira who left home as a teenager, faced the toughest challenges in world football, and reached the summit through relentless dedication and daily commitment.
At a time when many talents lose their way, Ronaldo became a global reference point. He raised Portugal's name across every continent. He made millions look at our country with admiration. He inspired generations of young players to believe that talent alone is not enough without hard work.
Even away from the pitch, he has remained deeply connected to his roots, his family, and his Portuguese identity. He never abandoned the country where he was born; instead, he carried it as a flag.
The day Cristiano Ronaldo retires will come. That day is closer than it is far away. And when it happens, Portugal will realize what it so often realizes too late: that it witnessed a career that will never be repeated.
Criticism is part of sport, and it should exist. But ingratitude should never be confused with accountability. We can debate decisions, performances, and moments. But we should not allow the emotions of the present to erase the historical significance of what Cristiano Ronaldo represents.
Results fade, and records can be broken, but some figures transcend the game. Cristiano Ronaldo is one of them. And Portugal would be better off if it never forgot that. 🐐❤️
$ONDS ‼️ Did Ondas buy out a direct competitor today?
Ondas’ Optimus System delivers 24/7 autonomous aerial surveillance, inspections, live video, data processing, 3D models, and actionable insights for defense, critical infrastructure, public safety, and industrial sites.
Cyberhawk specializes in exactly that space: expert drone inspections + their iHawk platform for aerial data management, asset visualization, AI-powered insights, and maintenance planning across oil & gas, utilities, renewables, etc.
Both target high value, repeatable aerial data/inspection work for critical assets.
Both systems have massive commercial applications and both are proven.
I believe Ondas is targeting a huge market and after this acquisition I see them acquiring 50%+ of the market share which is in the billions and growing by 20% YOY.

🇪🇸🤝 At the end of 2025, Cyberhawk signed a major 5yr deal with Técnicas Reunidas (TR) - one of the world’s top EPC contractors with a massive €12.5B+ backlog.
TR are building the critical power plants fueling the AI data center boom, as well as O&G facilities. Cyberhawk’s iHawk platform will help monitor & optimize these massive energy projects.
With 1,000+ industrial plants delivered across 70+ countries and ~30 active projects in 20 countries, this partnership puts Cyberhawk (and $ONDS) right at the heart of the energy infrastructure surge driving AI growth👊🏻
Unlike some of the defense deals that require years to prove themselves, Cyberhawk brings $45M+ revenue, ~95% recurring revenue, 300+ customers, operations in 40 countries, and a $95M backlog on day one.
The real question isn't the acquisition itself. It's whether $ONDS can finally show it can integrate all these assets and create a platform rather than just keep buying companies.
That's what the market is still waiting to see.

🤯👀 I’ve done a deep dive into just how good iHawk is and the results are genuinely INSANE..
I found this video from 2014 where global energy giant, Shell, were trialling Cyberhawk’s technology.
Here’s what the Regional Manager had to say:
🗣️ “We have used this technology now for two weeks, and we learned a lot.
🗣️ “On top of that, we would like to identify other areas of interest for Shell as a broader company”
In 2016, Shell proceeded to select iHawk to manage the mega data on their multi-billion Pennsylvania project.
🤯 Here are the results from the project:
⏰ Monthly usage approached 10,000 hours, exceeding targets.
🔎 FindAll module: Up to 90% quicker searches across multiple databases, saving 3–5 minutes per search. Handles up to 50,000 searches per month, equating to 2,500-4,167hrs saved each month across all staff🤯‼️
👤 Supported 700+ active users (Shell + 40+ contractors) on mobile, desktop, and 45 large touch screens onsite.
🗣️ Shell IT Director: “iHawk has become an INSEPARABLE part of what we do, it is now part of the landscape for Pennsylvania Chemicals and for ALL future Shell projects.”
That is some insane praise from one of the largest energy providers in the world‼️
And it was then backed up by signing a 5yr contract w/ Shell in 2020 AND a further 5yr contract renewal in 2025.
Today, iHawk is utilized by Shell in dozens of countries across four continents, with more than 6,000 users across all Shell's business units.
🗣️ Shell SVP of Sales EMEA:
"Shell recognized early on the agility and customization that Cyberhawk and iHawk bring to the table.
“What began as a single capital project has expanded into a long-term global partnership. We now collaborate with Shell to tailor iHawk's development roadmap to their evolving needs. This joint innovation effort has shifted the yardstick for what is possible in this space."
As Shell continues to advance its global infrastructure and decarbonization ambitions, Cyberhawk remains a key partner for the future👊🏻
‼️🚨 $ONDS BREAKING: PER THE DHS, US HAS SEIZED MORE THAN 50 DRONES NEAR WORLD CUP SITES, WITH 8 DRONES BEING INTERCEPTED IN KANSAS CITY ON WEDNESDAY🚨‼️
"In Kansas City, a joint federal-city counter-drone team intercepted eight drones on Wednesday during World Cup 2026 events at Kansas City (Arrowhead) Stadium and FIFA Fan Festival."
We know for a fact Sentrycs of $ONDS is being deployed at Arrowhead Stadium in KC to protect FIFA World Cup matches and fan areas from hostile & rogue drones.

🚨👀 Cyberhawk 🤝 $META ‼️
One of Cyberhawk’s Field Supervisor’s pictured here at a $META AI data centre with their Drone in a Box solution.
The possibilities of cross-selling Sentrycs & Iron Drone to these data centres is unreal.
