We shouldn’t be using million dollar missiles to stop $20k kamikaze drones. Frankenburg Technologies is building itself up to deliver 1 million low-cost, effective air defence missiles every year, like this one being tested here. That’s 100 times more than the West’s current missile industry. Right now, countries are spending between 10 and 100 times more than their attackers to defend against drone and missile threats. That’ll bankrupt even the strongest economies. So, at Frankenburg, our mission is not to be the next generation prime defence contractor. We just want to be the globally leading missile company. We have one job and we want to do it exceptionally well. Frankenburg is doing that in partnerships with BAE Systems, Babcock International, Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa🇵🇱, and Airbus Defence Airbus Space. More will be revealed soon. I do not think defence is a winner-takes-all market. We win through collaboration and, here in Europe, our strength is in our diversity of countries and competencies. All of us at Team Europe need to focus on core competencies and collaborate deeper, including by learning from partners in Ukraine, the Gulf, and beyond.
