🇩🇪 Germany now has a brilliantly low-tech way to kill drones While everyone else is building million-dollar laser systems… Germany said “hold my beer” and went surprisingly simple. This surprisingly effective, no-nonsense approach is turning heads in the drone warfare game. Sometimes the best solutions really are the simplest... show more

Germany will provide €400 million for the procurement of Ukrainian long-range drones. Thank you, Germany! 🇩🇪 German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius: "Germany is supporting Ukraine with around €9 billion this year, and we will continue our support at this level. From this amount we are currently preparing a package worth €2 billion. It will contain missile defense systems, state-of-the-art radar technology and ammunition. We also participate in PURL with an investment of $500 million. We will therefore continue to invest in Ukraine's air defense and counter-drone measures. We are inviting our partners to support projects in the area of air defense. Clearly, Ukraine's defense industry is powerful and innovative - it is worth investing in. Germany is providing €400 million for the procurement of long-range drones. This will help Ukraine engage Russian logistic assets beyond the front line. We are seeing some success."

🇩🇪 BIG: Germany Bets Big on Drone Warfare Era as Bundeswehr Signs Multi-Billion Euro Kamikaze Drone Deal Germany’s Rheinmetall has secured a major contract with the Bundeswehr for the large-scale supply of FV-014 loitering munition (kamikaze drones), marking a major shift toward mass drone warfare in Europe. The initial order is valued at around €300 million, with total potential procurement rising to over €2.4 billion for more than 10,000 units. The first batch of approximately 2,500 drones is expected to enter service from 2027, designed for precision strike missions with a range of about 100 km and a 6 kg anti armor payload. The move signals a rapid acceleration in Europe’s adoption of low-cost, high-volume battlefield drone systems. Source: Reuters / Defense reporting on Rheinmetall–Bundeswehr contract

🇨🇳 China is now the world’s largest drone power. It produces tens of millions annually—exporting nearly 40 million drones a year, including 600,000 to the U.S. alone. While the U.S. has the capacity to scale, drone production costs are nearly 3x higher. If current trends hold, China could define the future of drone technology. A silent shift in global tech leadership is underway.

Robert "Madiar" Brovdi, Commander of the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces, said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are actively seeking ways to counter Russian attacks. He shared that plans are already underway to replace Ukrainian infantry with ground-based drones and to build a multi-layered, echeloned "drone wall." "There is no longer a tank in the world that can withstand a strike from a drone costing just $300-400. No matter how well a tank is protected, it will be stopped by a drone built with Ukrainian components. Ukrainian drones are currently the best in the world. Today, drones have created a kill zone that stretches approximately 20 kilometers along the front line in Ukraine. The next challenge is to replace Ukrainian infantry with ground-based robotic systems that will take over all logistics within the frontline zone. And third - a multi-layered, echeloned wall, far higher than the Great Wall of China, that will stop in the air everything coming toward us - from attack drones to reconnaissance drones. And we are building it now, " "Madiar" said at the leading international LANDEURO conference on European land forces, held in Wiesbaden, Germany.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 This war is showing what the future of combat actually looks like: not one superweapon, but everything working together at once. Stealth bombers, cheap drones, missiles, cyber attacks, and AI-assisted targeting are now part of the same kill chain. The real shift is that billion-dollar aircraft are now working alongside cheap, expendable drones built to flood and overwhelm defenses. The countries that win future wars will not just have the best weapons, they will have the best tech stack. That is the real lesson from Iran: modern warfare is becoming a system, not a platform.

"This government need to hang their heads in shame." Zack Polanski is "furious" at the home secretary's harsh new measures against asylum seekers. Speaking on BBC Newsnight, the Green party leader compared Shabana Mahmood's proposals to the policies of Nazi Germany. "This is extreme, this is inhumane and it is a government of cowards," he said. "They went for the pensioners, they went for the disabled, and now they're going for people who are fleeing war and conflict."

$$EOS.AX - This $1B laser defense stock is Iran's Worst Nightmare. I have worked in the defense sector for 20 years and I have never seen risk/reward like Electro Optical Systems. Here's why this tiny energy directed weapon specialist inspired by Star Wars is the next multi-bagger. The nature of warfare has fundamentally shifted. Expensive, multi-million dollar platforms are now vulnerable to $2,000 drones. This has created a $100B+ global scramble for a Hard Kill solution that scales. EOS is the only company with the tech, the battle-tested results, and the export freedom to own the global market. The Rest of World Monopoly Geography is the ultimate moat in defense. US-based pioneers like $LASR (nLIGHT) are world-class but bound by strict ITAR (export) regulations. The EOS Edge: $EOS.AX is completely ITAR-free. While US tech is often locked behind years of red tape, EOS can deliver to Europe, the Middle East, and Asia with unmatched agility. This is why Germany recently bypassed legacy domestic giants like Rheinmetall to invite EOS to the table. As CEO Andreas Schwer (ex-Rheinmetall) stated: "EOS can deliver twice the power for half the price by 2027" The Sovereign Pivot - Australia’s $5B Bet The Australian Government has identified a negligible domestic drone defense capability and allocated $5B–$10B to fix it. EOS is the only domestic player with integrated, battle-proven kinetic (Slinger) and laser (Apollo) systems. Global Validation (The 100kW Milestone) While others are in the R&D phase, EOS is in the delivery phase. The Netherlands - Signed the world’s first export contract for a 100kW High Energy Laser (HEL)—a €71.4M (~A$125M) deal. Ukraine & Middle East - EOS systems are already on the ground, proving their kill-link accuracy in the most intense electronic warfare environments on earth. The Geographic Valuation Gap The market is pricing $EOS like a local manufacturer, ignoring its role as the global challenger to US-restricted tech. $LASR - Valued at ~$3.6B USD as the US domestic champion. $EOS.AX - Valued at ~$1.2B USD as the Rest-of-World champion. Both companies are addressing the same massive structural tailwinds, but $EOS.AX provides exposure to the entire global market at a fraction of the valuation of its US-listed peers. The Financial Inflection (By the Numbers) Gross Margins - Hit 63% in the most recent results; tier-1 tech margins. Order Backlog - A record $459M (up 238% YoY), providing massive revenue visibility into 2027. Bottom line - $EOS has the technology that Europe, the Middle East, and Australia are desperate for. It is the only ITAR-free pure-play in the world capable of delivering the future of counter-drone warfare today.

Germany Has Absolutely Fucked Itself with Russian Sanctions & Blowing up Nord Stream 🇩🇪 Alice Weidel, leader of the Alternative for Germany party, on the avalanche of bankruptcies in Germany: The number of corporate bankruptcies is growing. This year alone, 22,000 company bankruptcies are expected. That's 60 companies a day. Mr. Federal Chancellor, I know you don't want to hear these figures - that's why you're not listening. At least today you're sitting here and not running away while the opposition is speaking. You need to listen to this data, and we are waiting for you to react to it in some way.

‼️🇷🇺🇩🇪 BIG - Preparing for a possible military conflict with Russia, Germany will not create drone stockpiles. This was stated by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, noting that creating a drone reserve makes no sense due to rapid progress in this field and the immediate obsolescence of drones. "In drone development, we observe increasingly shorter innovation cycles. Technologies change radically within 2-3 months, including in the field of drone defense. Therefore, it is pointless today to accumulate drones worth billions of euros that will become obsolete the day after tomorrow," the minister said. According to him, instead Germany is focusing on developing new types of weapons and preparing the defense industry for a possible war and the immediate production of a large number of relevant drones. He also expressed confidence that armored vehicles will continue to play a decisive role in the future alongside drones. "Russia produces more 'Shaheds' and similar drones than it uses. The war in Ukraine demonstrates the enormous importance of drones in modern warfare. However, heavy equipment will also continue to play a decisive role. Military experts say that the war of the future will be combined-arms: involving howitzers, tanks, and aircraft, as well as cyberspace and, of course, unmanned systems," the minister noted.

🚨🇩🇪 German Chancellor Friedrich Merz Endorses Regime Change in Iran After White House Meeting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz met President Donald Trump at the White House Tuesday and said Berlin and Washington are “on the same page” regarding the need for regime change in Iran. He previously said Germany "shares the relief of many Iranians that this mullah regime is now coming to an end" and shares the U.S. interest in stopping its nuclear program. —— ⭕️ Background: During the briefing, Merz chuckled as the level of destruction in Iran was discussed. On concerns over the legality of the strikes, he has previously said he would not “lecture” the U.S. or Israel on their military actions. Trump thanked him today for Germany’s support in the campaign. In a joint E3 statement, Germany, the UK, and France pledged “necessary and proportionate defensive action” to destroy Iran’s missile and drone capabilities “at their source.” Germany has also responded positively to a request to deploy a warship to Cyprus following Iranian drone attacks on a British base there.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 America's best weapon in the Iran war is a copy of Iran's own drone... The Pentagon reverse-engineered a captured Shahed from Ukraine and built the Lucas in under two years. Cost: $10,000 to $55,000. A Tomahawk costs $2 million. They call it "the Toyota Corolla of drones," cheap, reliable, and devastatingly effective. It helped destroy Iran's Shahed factories, weapons facilities, and air defense nodes, contributing to an 83% drop in Iranian drone attacks in the opening days. Five manufacturers are now set up to produce 1,500 a month. The first time America copied an enemy's weapon in half a century. The last time was a Soviet pontoon bridge. This time it was the drone that changed modern warfare. Source: WSJ

Nebenzya, Russia’s envoy to the UN, claims Ukraine uses strike drones to “kill and harm Russian civilians” and accuses Kyiv of “gamifying” warfare. He says this undermines the fundamental principles of armed conflict. WHAT A NONSENSE Ukraine has consistently operated within international law while defending itself from a state that invades, occupies, deports children, executes prisoners, bombs civilians in their homes. Ukrainian children and entire families are being killed at night in their apartments, while sleeping in their own beds, by Russian missiles and drones. And Russia still has the nerve to lecture Ukraine about the “principles” of warfare. There is not enough space on this platform to list all the laws and norms Russia has violated.

The US has spent $11.3bn on 5,500 military strikes in just the first six days of the war. President Trump says Iran has been totally destroyed, but Iran is still carrying out low-cost drone and mine attacks towards its neighbours in the Persian Gulf. This small but steady warfare has effectively stopped cargo ships from crossing the vital Strait of Hormuz, which connects Iran and the countries of the gulf to the rest of the world. That means oil and gas can't move, threatening to spike global oil prices and turning the conflict into a grueling war of financial attrition. While very few Americans have died, the US military has a problem: the expensive systems it uses to stop enemy drones cost much more than the cheap drones being fired at them. Is this how Iran, despite being vastly overpowered, can find a way to win this war?

🚨America Just Changed the Economics of War… With Light For years Iran built a strategy around one brutal equation. Launch thousands of cheap drones. Force the defender to burn through million-dollar interceptors. Bleed the defense dry. It was simple math. A Shahed drone costs roughly $30,000. Stopping it with traditional missile defenses can cost hundreds of thousands… sometimes over a million dollars per intercept. Repeat that attack a thousand times and suddenly the defender is spending billions just to stay alive. Iran understood this. They designed an entire doctrine around it. Flood the sky with cheap weapons. Overwhelm air defenses. Make defense more expensive than offense. But something just changed. The United States Navy has now deployed HELIOS, a directed-energy weapon mounted on an American destroyer operating near Iran. HELIOS is not a missile. It is a laser. And it runs on something every warship already produces… Electricity. No missile to reload. No magazine to empty. No resupply ship needed. As long as the ship’s generators are producing power, the weapon keeps firing. That means the cost of stopping a drone is no longer measured in missiles. It is measured in electricity. In practical terms… Destroying a $30,000 drone can now cost less than the power bill of a large apartment building. That single change breaks the entire economic foundation of drone saturation warfare. For years Iran invested in the strategy that made Shahed drones valuable. Cheap. Numerous. Disposable. But if directed-energy weapons like HELIOS can burn drones out of the sky at near-zero cost… The math flips. Suddenly the attacker is spending money… while the defender spends almost nothing. CENTCOM has already released footage showing HELIOS mounted on a U.S. Navy destroyer in waters near Iran. Earlier tests confirmed the system successfully destroyed multiple drones during live trials. Now the system is deployed where hundreds of Iranian drones and missiles have been passing through the same airspace. This is not a laboratory experiment anymore. This is a real battlefield. And the world is about to find out whether the future of missile defense is not another interceptor… But a beam of light. Because when America decides to change the physics of war… It usually succeeds. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

In practical terms… Destroying a $30,000 drone can now cost less than the power bill of a large apartment building. That single change breaks the entire economic foundation of drone saturation warfare. For years Iran invested in the strategy that made Shahed drones valuable. Cheap. Numerous. Disposable. But if directed-energy weapons like HELIOS can burn drones out of the sky at near-zero cost… The math flips. Suddenly the attacker is spending money… while the defender spends almost nothing. CENTCOM has already released footage showing HELIOS mounted on a U.S. Navy destroyer in waters near Iran. Earlier tests confirmed the system successfully destroyed multiple drones during live trials. Now the system is deployed where hundreds of Iranian drones and missiles have been passing through the same airspace. This is not a laboratory experiment anymore. This is a real battlefield. And the world is about to find out whether the future of missile defense is not another interceptor… But a beam of light. Because when America decides to change the physics of war… It usually succeeds. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

🇩🇪These street interviews with random Muslims in Germany are terrifying. 🔺"I would throw him from the highest building." 🪨"No, he is stoned to death." If a woman dishonors the "Ummah" through adultery, she must be killed, 🔴"That is haram. I would kill her." The interviewer then asks whether Sharia or the German constitution come first? ☪️"I follow my Sharia, my Quran, Germany does not interest me, only my religion," answered one Muslim. These quotes come from Klar, a controversial new German public news series from BR, which reveals the shocking attitudes of many Muslims in Germany, which are completely incompatible with a constitutional, democratic state. This is not just a "handful" of Muslims. This year, an explosive German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) study found nearly 50% of Muslims under the age of 40 in Germany hold “Islamist” views, with these Muslims expressing an attraction to Islamism, a preference for Sharia law over the German Basic Law, and harboring anti-Semitic prejudices. “This study should set off all the alarm bells. It is a societal time bomb," said Wolfgang Kubicki, a prominent politician in the Free Democrats (FDP) and former MP, in response to the study.

Our team is now on its way to the Gulf region, where they can help protect lives and stabilize the situation. We see the challenges that exist now: the Iranian regime has effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz – one of the main routes for supplying oil and gas to the global market. This is a major source of instability. No one in the world can yet say how long all of this will last, but it is important that the protection of life starts working effectively as soon as possible. Stability is important for us as well. Those now seeking Ukraine’s help must continue to assist our own defense – first and foremost, our air defense. Last year we already proposed a drone agreement to the United States. This is the right way forward: to partner with us in the production and use of drones, and everyone now sees that there is no alternative to this approach. Ukraine has the greatest experience in the world in countering attack drones, and without our experience it will be very difficult for the Gulf region, the entire Middle East, and partners in Europe and America to build strong protection.

What's happening in Ukraine right now is rewriting modern warfare. We need to be paying more attention and learn from our friends in Kyiv. - Over 12,000 drones were operating over a city the size of Hereford in a single day. Yes… one day. - 90% of casualties are caused by drones. Not artillery or rifles. Just drones. - Russia is close to building a million drones a month. Ukraine is trying to match them. - Russia's uncrewed systems force is 80,000 strong. That is bigger than our entire Army. Britain has to catch up and we don't have the luxury of time to do it. We MUST: - Treat drones as ammunition. - Build up always-on drone production here in the UK. - Centralise the data. Use AI to make them smarter. - Stand up an uncrewed systems force now. Not after a review at some point in future… but now. - Cut the rules choking off trial and testing. - Joint ventures between British and Ukrainian industry. They've learnt more in a few years than most countries learn in thirty… - Work with Ukrainian veterans to test how we exercise and operate. Remember: A £4000 drone can take out a £4million tank.

🚨BREAKING REALITY CHECK 🇺🇸 American MILITARY LASERS REIGNS A viral video is circulating claiming the United States just used a “space-based laser weapon” against Iran. Let’s separate fact from hype. Yes… the U.S. military is using laser technology in this conflict. But not the kind being claimed in that video. The system actually deployed is HELIOS… a ship-mounted high-energy laser on U.S. Navy destroyers. It is designed to shoot down drones like Iran’s Shahed UAVs using concentrated energy beams. Why does that matter? Because each laser shot costs only electricity… while intercepting drones with missiles can cost millions of dollars per shot. That makes HELIOS a powerful defensive tool against large drone swarms. But the viral clip claiming “space lasers turning the sky blue and blasting fireballs into space” is almost certainly misidentified footage of conventional weapons. What you’re likely seeing in those explosions are things like: Cruise missile strikes Fuel or ammunition detonations Drone intercept explosions Or missile defense intercepts The United States Space Force does play a role… but it’s through satellites detecting missile launches using infrared tracking, not orbital laser weapons. In short… Yes… America is deploying advanced directed-energy weapons. No… there is no confirmed evidence of space-based laser strikes in this conflict. The real takeaway is still impressive. Modern warfare is changing fast… and low-cost laser defense is already proving devastating against drone swarms. But the viral “space laser apocalypse” claims are hype, not verified military technology in use right now. Always verify before amplifying. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove
