Just my 2 cents: 1. Eurozone is not in recession and 2. the value of a currency has a lot to do with stability and trust in its central bank.

Even if the west would not get involved with minimal risk, like supplying ATGM etc. The resulting sanctions would cripple Russia. I dont expect any major escalation.

By the time the vaccine goes into production, almost all the world's countries will have vaccines or at least orders. They should focus on the Omicron variant and see how effective it is against it.

I posted the story as it happened. Left leaning media such as netzpolitik started the research, and it ended up on German state media, but there's nothing they can do since Hensoldt is selling through the South African subsidiary.

This was denied by Aselsan.

I think the strategy is good. If TAI was ready to pay Swiss or Dutch salaries, we wouldn't have any brain-drain to those countries to begin with. But we cant really compete with the numbers offered in those countries. Plenty of talent in the developing countries with no to low employment and...

In my own words: Any, even low, presence of US, UK military at the border will make the Russian avoid attacking there because of the implications. If foreign forces are killed, it will lead to more involvement, maybe even direct involvement from the mentioned parties. Basically, the soldiers...

Its a tripwire for the Russian, the idea is that they wouldnt cross the lines with foreign soldiers. They would risk it. Kinda like the Americans tried with Turkey in Syria.

Thats a huuuge display. Will it have autonomous driving capabilities?

On a supercharger approx. 15-20min to 80%, slow chargers with around 15kW need 1,5h to charge it full (i have one close to my home) and if I used household electricity (which I don't) approx. 13h.

Except that Leonardo is a private company, 70% of the shares are not owned by the Italian government. The Italian government wont see a single cent of the money, I doubt that they will distribute anything in dividends to its owners but reinvest...

France and Germany want to create joint European tanks, jets etc, and they are going to do it either the cooperation way or the I'll buy your companies way. Just to add to that, the EU is looking to create European defence giants similar to Airbus. Nexter and KMW merger was the first step...

I hope the technology is worth it: - First flown in 1985, it has been launched 37 times, with 6 failures. - The Zenit-2 had its last flight in 2004; it has been superseded by the Zenit-2M, which incorporates enhancements made during the development of the Zenit-3SL...

They can copy it, if they get their hand on them. How good will the copy be, thats another question but its not exactly state of the art and what makes the TB2 a good selling product is its experience, it has proven itself as a platform and that you cannot copy.

The new Finance Minister (?)

Expect hotels.

A German report on how Hensoldt sold equipment to Turkey through their subsidiary in South Africa. Plus the usual anti defence export shit that is common in Germany. https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/politik/kampfdrohnen-tuerkei-hensoldt-100.html
