President of France Emmanuel Macron has called on French manufacturers to increase the volume of arms production. Paris is offering arms contracts to European countries. As of 2023, France was among the top ten countries in the world in terms of military spending, as well as among the top five countries in the world in terms of military exports. (Ahead of it are the United States, Germany and China). France's military-industrial complex accounts for more than 25% of all European military capacity. Since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, France has made tremendous progress in its military industrial complex. In an interview with Le Figaro in early 2025, the French President said he would like to allocate "about 3-3.5% of GDP" to defense instead of the current 2.1%. Army budgets are approved in the military planning law, the current law covers the period from 2024 to 2030 and envisages spending €413 billion. For 2025, €50.5 billion is allocated for defense spending. If France were to spend 3.5% of GDP (based on current levels), it would allocate €70 billion per year to defense. France is one of the few European countries with a defense industry capable of developing weapons from start to finish without being dependent on the United States. Currently, the French military-industrial complex includes nine major industrial groups: Airbus Defense and Space, Ariane Group, Arquus, Dassault Aviation, MBDA, Naval Group, KNDS France, Safran, and Thales.

‼️‼️🇩🇪🇷🇺 Germany has officially notified NATO of a record-breaking surge in its national defense commitments, detailing a historic allocation of €124.7 billion for 2026. This monumental figure represents a staggering 25.5% expansion compared to the previous year, when expenditures stood at approximately €99.3 billion. The absolute increase of €25.4 billion marks the largest single-year jump in military spending in the history of the Federal Republic, positioning Berlin as the second-largest financial contributor to defense within the alliance, trailing only the United States. According to official NATO projections released ahead of the leaders' summit in Ankara, Germany’s defense expenditures will reach 2.69% of its gross domestic product (GDP), a sharp rise from the 2.22% recorded in 2025. This rapid scaling is part of a broader trajectory to meet NATO's revised core defense guidelines well ahead of schedule. To aggressively finance this historic remilitarization and modernize its armed forces, the German government is implementing an expansive long-term borrowing strategy, planning to issue more than €800 billion in debt by 2030. As part of this fiscal push, Berlin will unleash a massive wave of state bonds worth over €200 billion in 2027 alone—a 12.5% increase in borrowing compared to current-year levels. These mobilized funds are earmarked to consistently reinforce the core defense budget, which is projected to climb to an unprecedented €183.6 billion annually by 2030 to ensure the Bundeswehr is fully equipped to act as a formidable deterrent in Europe.

JUST IN: 🇷🇺🇩🇪 Putin May Have Made A Historic Mistake, Germany Is Rebuilding A Military Russia Could Fear A warning emerging from Russian strategic circles is becoming increasingly significant: Moscow’s confrontation with Europe may have awakened a power that had deliberately kept its military ambitions restrained for decades. Germany is now rapidly rebuilding the Bundeswehr, and the transformation could fundamentally change Europe’s military balance. 🔰 €108+ billion in 2026 defense related spending, with the core defense budget alone around €82.7 billion. 🔰 Defense spending is planned to rise toward 3.5% of GDP by 2029. 🔰 A major expansion of Germany’s military personnel and combat readiness. 🔰 F-35A stealth fighters for high end strike and NATO nuclear sharing missions. 🔰 Additional Eurofighters and major upgrades to Germany’s existing fleet. 🔰 Leopard 2A8 main battle tanks and expanded armored forces. 🔰 Boxer armored vehicles and modern mechanized formations. 🔰 IRIS-T SLM and Patriot air defense systems. 🔰 Tomahawk long range cruise missiles. 🔰 Development of next generation European long range strike weapons. 🔰 Cooperation with Britain on advanced cruise missile and hypersonic weapons. 🔰 Massive investment in drones, satellites, electronic warfare, communications and battlefield networks. 🔰 A rapidly expanding German defense industrial base capable of producing weapons at much greater scale. Germany’s military spending has already surged. SIPRI estimates German military expenditure reached roughly $114 billion in 2025, a 24% increase from the previous year. But the biggest change may still be ahead. Germany has the economic power, industrial capacity and technological base to sustain a major military buildup for years. If Berlin follows through on its plans, Germany could enter the 2030s with stealth fighters, advanced air defenses, large armored formations, long range precision weapons, drones, modern command networks and a defense industry operating at a completely different scale. And Russia may have helped trigger it. Moscow wanted to reshape Europe’s security order. Instead, its confrontation with Europe may be creating a far more militarized Germany, one that could become increasingly assertive and much harder for Russia to ignore. The Germany of the future may look very different from the Germany Russia faced before the Ukraine war. 👀 Putin may have awakened Europe’s sleeping giant.

🇫🇷🇺🇦🛡️ France is accelerating deliveries of interceptor missiles to Ukraine and, crucially, is prepared to provide licenses allowing Kyiv to manufacture French air-defense missiles domestically. Speaking in connection with the Coalition of the Willing, President Emmanuel Macron confirmed that Paris is speeding up deliveries of interceptor missiles and other air-defense equipment as Ukraine faces an increasingly severe shortage of ammunition capable of countering Russian missile attacks. Macron has also confirmed France’s readiness to provide Ukraine with production licenses for missiles, while Paris and Kyiv have made air and anti-ballistic missile defense a priority of their expanding defense-industrial cooperation. The licensing component could ultimately prove even more important than individual deliveries. Ukraine’s long-term objective is increasingly clear: move from dependence on limited stocks supplied by allies toward domestic production of Western-designed interceptors. France’s decision therefore represents another step toward integrating Ukraine directly into Europe’s defense-industrial base and building a more sustainable Ukrainian air-defense architecture for a prolonged confrontation with Russia.

🚨 BREAKING: ISRAEL LAUNCHES MASSIVE AIR-DEFENSE EXPANSION In a major strategic move, Israel’s Defense Ministry has signed a multi-billion dollar deal with Rafael to turbo-charge Israel’s entire air-defense network — Iron Dome, David’s Sling, Arrow, and more. This upgrade is fueled by the huge U.S. aid package just approved by Congress, giving Israel the ability to rapidly scale interceptors and strengthen protection against rockets, drones, cruise missiles, and long-range threats. Bottom line: Israel is preparing for the next war now, not after it begins. Stay connected, follow Mossad Commentary.

Today marks a significant moment, truly historic for both our nations – France and Ukraine. Together with Emmanuel Macron, we signed a Declaration of Intent on Cooperation in the Acquisition of Defense Equipment for Ukraine. This document enables Ukraine to procure military equipment from France’s defense industrial and technological base, including 100 Rafale F4 aircraft by 2035 for Ukraine’s combat aviation, SAMP/T air-defense systems, air-defense radars, air-to-air missiles, and aerial bombs. Joint projects between our defense sectors will also begin this year – we will co-produce interceptor drones and work on developing critical technologies and components that can be integrated into Ukrainian drones. New aircraft, new reinforcements, new steps to strengthen our army and our country. I am deeply grateful to France, President Emmanuel Macron, and all the French people.

President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen emphasized that Europe "should shoulder more of its responsibility for its own security." According to her, the Rearm Europe plan "focuses on how to use all the financial levers at our disposal in order to help Member States to quickly and significantly increase expenditures in defense capabilities, urgently now, but also over a longer period of time over this decade." There are five points in this plan: ▪️ "The first part of this Rearm Europe plan is to unleash the use of public funding in defense on the national level. Member States are ready to invest more in their own security if they have the fiscal space, so we must enable them to do so. We will propose to activate the National Escape Clause of the Stability and Growth Pact. This will allow Member States to significantly increase their defense expenditures without triggering the excessive deficit procedure. If Member States would increase their defense spending by 1.5 percent of GDP on average, this could create fiscal space of close to 650 billion euros over a period of four years. ▪️ "The second proposal will be a new instrument. It will provide 150 billion euros of loans to Member States for defense investment. This is about basically spending better and spending together. We're talking about pan-European capability domains like, for example, air and missile defense, the artillery systems, missiles and ammunition, drones and anti-drone systems, but also to address other needs from cyber to military mobility, for example. This will help Member States to pool demand and to buy together. With this equipment, Member States can massively step up their support to Ukraine. So immediate military equipment for Ukraine." ▪️ "The third point is using the power of the EU budget. I can announce that we will propose additional possibilities and incentives for Member States, that they will decide if they want to use cohesion policy programmes to increase defense spending." ▪️ "The last two areas of action aim at mobilising private capital by accelerating the Savings and Investment Union and through the European Investment Bank." "Europe is ready to assume its responsibilities. Rearm Europe could mobilise close to 800 billion euros of defense expenditures for a safe and resilient Europe," Ursula von der Leyen said.

🇺🇸🛡️🚀 Lockheed Martin is set to dramatically expand production of Patriot PAC-3 MSE interceptors after securing a $59 billion Pentagon contract aimed at rebuilding U.S. missile defense stockpiles. 🔹 The seven-year agreement will significantly increase manufacturing of Patriot PAC-3 MSE interceptor missiles, following the heavy expenditure of air defense munitions during the ongoing conflict with Iran. 📍 Under the plan, Lockheed Martin intends to boost annual production from around 600 interceptors to approximately 2,000 by 2030, more than tripling current output. 💰 Each PAC-3 MSE interceptor is estimated to cost around $4 million. The contract reflects a broader shift in U.S. defense planning toward sustained, high-volume missile production. Recent conflicts have demonstrated that modern air and missile defense campaigns can consume interceptor stockpiles at an unprecedented pace, prompting Washington to prioritize industrial expansion to ensure it can sustain prolonged operations while continuing to support allies facing large-scale missile threats.

“Block Everything”: Protests Against the Budget in France Have Turned into Massive Riots In Paris, hundreds of people are blocking roads, setting buses on fire, and throwing trash cans at the police. The action is called “Block Everything” – the demonstrators’ goal is to paralyze the country’s life. The reason is the government’s economic policy. In the draft budget for 2026, the government decided not to index pensions and social benefits to inflation, to cut healthcare costs by 5 billion euros, but to add 3.5 billion euros for defense.

🇩🇪 BERLIN GOES ALL-IN ON MILITARY BUILDUP Once known for military restraint, Germany is now racing to build the strongest army in Europe. With Russia’s war in Ukraine shaking Europe’s sense of security, Berlin is ditching decades of caution and pouring money into defense at a pace not seen since the Cold War. This week, Germany’s parliament is expected to approve over €50 billion in new military purchases - including tanks, missiles, drones, and even protective gear for soldiers. It’s part of a long-term €650 billion defense plan running through 2030. Among the shopping list: F-35 fighter jets, Patriot missile systems, Leopard tanks, submarines, satellites, helicopters, and enough ammo to refill decades of stockpiles. The urgency is clear. German officials believe Russia could be ready to challenge NATO directly by 2029. And with future U.S. support for Europe in question, Berlin wants to be ready - with or without Washington. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, who’s become the face of this military reboot, isn’t sugarcoating the threat. He says Putin’s not just attacking Ukraine, he’s aiming to tear down the world order and rebuild a Soviet-style empire. Pistorius has overseen a 23% rise in enlistments in the past year and plans to expand the army from 184,000 to 260,000 troops by 2035. But he’s still facing delays, cost overruns, and a defense industry struggling to keep up. Germany is spending big, and it’s doing it fast. The country that once swore “never again” is now saying “just in case.” Source: Financial Times
