🇫🇷🇰🇷 BREAKING: France is considering buying South Korea’s K239 Chunmoo multiple launch rocket systems to quickly boost its long range strike capability. With France’s current M270 launchers aging and limited, the K239 offers a modern, wheeled alternative with a wide range of munitions and fast delivery timelines. The decision comes as France develops its own FLP-T long range strike system, expected by 2030, but needs a temporary solution in the meantime. Several European countries, including Norway, Estonia, and Poland, already operate the K239.

🇳🇴🇰🇷 Breaking news. The Norwegian government and a majority of parliament decided that they would purchase South Korea's K239 long-range missile system and 500km range ballistic missiles instead of the European and Israeli PULS and MARS-3. A Norwegian Conservative politician says this is one of the most powerful weapons in Norwegian history and a crucial investment in modern defense. According to the recommendations of the Norwegian Ministry of Defence, the approval of the Norwegian Cabinet, and my sources at a Norwegian defense consulting firm, the contract is worth $1.88 billion and will involve the purchase of 15 to 23 launchers. A contract is expected to be signed soon. This would make Estonia the first official buyer of the CTM-MR medium-range tactical missile, and Norway is the first official buyer of the CTM-X ballistic missile. Norway, Poland, and Estonia also operate Hanwha Aerospace's K9 self-propelled howitzer, and South Korea has been discussing this with Norway for several years. So, it was expected. ●The existence of the US HIMARS option is currently unconfirmed. ●The Norwegian K9 is named VIDAR, the son of Odin. What will the K239 be named? ●Two major defense investment projects have been confirmed for Norway. One involves purchasing two additional submarines from the previously approved submarine program, bringing the total to six, with the budget reportedly increasing from NOK 52 billion to NOK 98 billion. The other is the LLPI program, a long-range precision-guided munitions program for the army (NOK 19 billion). ●South Korea, Poland, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Estonia have purchased the K239, and it is being offered to Norway, Egypt, Latvia, and Lithuania. ●The K239 MRLS can operate a wide variety of general purposes, special purposes, medium range, and long-range missiles. K239 version 3.0 is now underway.

Lavrov threatens Europe and Keith Kellogg over the project of a new European defence union with Ukraine. He said: “He [Kellogg] is now actively promoting the idea that a new military alliance should be created, and that Ukraine should not be brought into NATO, because, as they say, this has already been rejected both by President Trump and other members of his administration. And Kellogg, being also not a stranger in Washington, together with the European ‘grandees’, as they are called, is promoting the idea of creating a new military bloc with Ukraine as a member, and even not just a member, but as its leading participant […]” - Lavrov said. Lavrov is threatening Europe over militarisation and trying to drive a wedge between the White House and Europe. Moscow is very concerned by the fact that Ukraine is indeed being considered as a potential member of a European defense union. This was stated by Defence Commissioner Andrius Kubilius. Andrius Kubilius said that the European Commission is discussing an intergovernmental treaty to form a defence union and prepare the EU for independent defence, against the backdrop of the United States increasingly focusing on the Indo-Pacific region. The treaty is intended to strengthen the European Union’s role in defending Europe, while avoiding the recurring debate that defence is not an EU competence, but rather belongs to individual member states. The Commissioner also called for the creation of a new “real European defence union” involving the United Kingdom, Norway, and Ukraine. For this purpose, he suggested concluding a separate intergovernmental defence treaty, which could be modelled on the Schengen Agreement. The initiative to create a defence union involves not only legal formalisation, but also increased defence spending, expansion of production capacities, and stronger coordination between EU countries and close partners such as Ukraine, the UK, and Norway, which are expected to become members of the union. At the same time, defence policy would remain within the national competence of member states. 📹 CGTN

🇳🇴🇩🇪 The Norwegian government has proposed purchasing two additional 212CD diesel-electric submarines from Germany, adding to the four already on order. The extra submarines will cost around 46 billion Norwegian kroner (€3.9–4 billion), and Norway is also prepared to invest in expanding the production line to accelerate construction. Norwegian officials emphasize that, given Russia’s increased military activity in the North Atlantic and the Barents Sea, these submarines are critically important for national security and for deterring potential threats. In addition, the government is seeking to acquire long-range rocket artillery with a range of up to 500 km, for which an extra 19 billion kroner (about €1.6 billion) would be allocated. #norway #germany #Russian

BIG | 🇷🇺🇳🇴🇺🇸‼️‼️ Russia is openly identifying military facilities in Norway that it could target in a future conflict, escalating its rhetoric against NATO as the alliance strengthens its northern flank and expands long-range capabilities close to Russia. According to Reuters, Russia’s Foreign Ministry warned that sites hosting U.S. missile systems in Norway, together with associated command-and-control centers, could become Russian targets in the event of a military confrontation. Moscow has focused particular attention on the deployment of Mk-41 launchers capable of supporting different missile systems, while Norway has also strengthened its forces in the north with additional artillery and other military assets. Moscow’s threat reflects a broader Russian effort to portray NATO’s defensive buildup as escalation while simultaneously intensifying military and hybrid pressure against European states. Norway’s strategic importance has grown sharply because of its position in the High North and its proximity to critical Russian military infrastructure. Rather than reducing tensions, explicit Russian threats against NATO territory reinforce the argument for stronger deterrence, greater European military readiness and a more credible allied presence across the northern flank.

Zakharova: US launchers for short- and intermediate-range missiles in Norway will be subject to special attention from Russia’s strategic deterrence forces. Peskov: The deployment in Norway of missiles posing a threat to Russia is grounds for additional security measures. (Comment from me below the quotes) Moscow views the appearance in Europe of US launchers for intermediate- and shorter-range missiles as "yet another step in the endless chain of highly destabilizing actions by NATO countries aimed at striking deep into Russian territory," Zakharova said. According to her, the Mk-41 is capable of launching Tomahawk missiles, and its range covers a significant part of Russia's European territory, including Moscow. Zakharova added that Washington and Oslo "should not be surprised that the locations of these systems are now under the special attention of Russia’s strategic deterrence forces, which includes planning for the combat use of relevant strike weapons in the event of an armed conflict." Regarding strategic stability talks, Zakharova said that the dialogue "was interrupted by the administration of Joe Biden," while the current US authorities are "unrealistically discussing multilateral negotiations with the mandatory participation of China." "Steps such as the deployment of US land-based intermediate- and shorter-range missiles in Europe that threaten Russia, to put it mildly, 'zero out' the prerequisites for a constructive dialogue with the United States on strategic issues," she said. Comment from me: Norway and its NATO allies are strengthening their defenses in the north due to the need to protect the Arctic and North Atlantic from military threats posed by Russia and China. The system appeared as part of the trilateral Operation Atlantic City exercises (part of NATO’s permanent Arctic Sentry mission). NATO leadership identifies several key security threats in the region: • Russia’s military activity in the Arctic: NATO considers Russia the main threat to its security in the northern latitudes. Oslo is particularly concerned about the Kola Peninsula, a key base of Russia’s Northern Fleet, where nuclear-powered submarines and nuclear weapons are stationed, capable of reaching most cities in NATO countries. • Another reason is the threat of control over strategic passages: In the event of a conflict, Russia could attempt to establish control over the Bear Gap - the operational space between Norway, the Svalbard archipelago, and the United Kingdom. Control of this area would allow Russia to deploy sea-launched anti-ship and hypersonic missiles against the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Norway itself. • Hybrid threats and sabotage: Norway’s Police Security Service (PST) has repeatedly documented incidents and warned of the risk of sabotage by Russian intelligence services targeting Norway’s critical and energy infrastructure. • Territorial and geopolitical disputes: Oslo points to Moscow’s aggressive actions in the High North, including repeated challenges to Norwegian sovereignty in the Svalbard area.

🇸🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺🛡️ Sweden's Defense Minister has called for Ukraine to join both the European Union and NATO as quickly as possible, arguing that Kyiv has already become one of Europe's key security guarantors. 🗣️ According to the minister, Ukraine is already playing a central role in defending European security, making its accession to the EU and NATO an urgent strategic priority rather than a distant political objective. 📍 He also praised Ukraine's rapidly expanding defense-industrial sector, noting that its performance has become increasingly important for Europe's future security. 🔹 The minister emphasized that Ukraine is increasing production, lowering manufacturing costs, and setting new standards in military innovation, while European countries continue to adopt Ukrainian expertise, particularly in the development of combat drones and counter-drone technologies. The remarks reflect a growing recognition across Europe that Ukraine is no longer only a recipient of military assistance but also a major contributor to the continent's defense capabilities. Its battlefield experience and rapidly evolving defense industry are increasingly shaping how European militaries prepare for the future, strengthening the strategic case for deeper integration with both NATO and the European Union.

Met with the delegation of the European Parliament within the framework of the Ukraine-EU Parliamentary Association Committee. We discussed key issues for our country and Europe. 🔹 Military support. The EU has already allocated nearly €50 billion in military aid to Ukraine. It is crucial to ensure stable and timely arms deliveries, strengthen air defence, and support Ukraine’s defence industry. 🔹 Financial assistance. The EU has approved €45 billion under the Ukraine Facility. We expect a swift disbursement of funds to support the economy and recovery efforts. 🔹 Sanctions. Further pressure on russia must be increased, particularly in the energy sector, LNG, and against companies that help russia circumvent restrictions. 🔹 EU accession negotiations. Ukraine has met all conditions to open negotiation clusters. We expect this step during Poland’s Presidency of the EU Council. I am grateful to the European Parliament for its unwavering support for Ukraine. Together, we are working for shared security, development, and victory! 🇺🇦🇪🇺

❗️Ukraine is developing a "revolutionary" air defense system as an alternative to scarce and expensive Patriots Fire Pont, the manufacturer of the Flamingo cruise missile, is in negotiations with European companies to launch a new air defense system by next year, said the chief designer and co-founder of the company, Denys Shtilerman, in an interview with Reuters. According to him, it is an inexpensive alternative to the Patriot system, which will allow reducing the cost of intercepting a ballistic missile to below $1 million. The first test of the new system is planned for the end of 2027. Shtilerman also reported that Fire Point expects approval from the government for investments from a Middle Eastern conglomerate that values the company at $2.5 billion. This will open up new opportunities, including the launch of satellites into low Earth orbit.

🚀 Every ballistic capability starts with a demonstration. Discover for the first time the firing video of the ballistic munition FLP-t developed by ArianeGroup and Thales Group! The successful test in May with the support from the Missile Testing Division of the French Defense Procurement Agency (DGA) confirmed much more than the performance of a new rocket that represents the upper echelon of artillery systems with a range of 150 km. It marked a first building block for a new conventional ballistic strike capability that addresses a broad range of operational requirements in an evolving strategic context. Developed in less than 18 months for the versatile and interoperable Thales X-Fire launcher, the rocket munition validated ArianeGroup's ability to rapidly design, build and fly a new sovereign ballistic system while demonstrating the accuracy and reliability of its technologies The test has underscored both ArianeGroup’s ability to master the physics of long range flights with high altitude ballistic trajectories and our industrial expertise, paving the way for the B-Strike line-up that encompasses ballistic missiles ranging up to 2500 km. At ArianeGroup, this is how we build our vision for sovereign deep-strike capabilities. #RocketMakers #Defence #BStrikeLineUp

How does the UK rejoin the EU? Have a listen to David Miliband on BBC Radio 4 Today: Anna Foster, "The front page of the Guardian this morning is talking about the government trying to pitch an EU single market for goods, which Brussels seems to not be particularly keen on. What is your position on the government's stance at the moment on Europe and how our ongoing relationship with Europe should look?" David Miliband, "Well, I'm convinced that the security and prosperity of the UK depends on an institutionalized, deep and strong relationship with the rest of Europe. I'm absolutely convinced of that. The Russian invasion of Ukraine shows the way in which that's our number one security threat now." David Miliband, "But, we know our economy has been shrunk by 6 to 8% in the 10 years since Brexit. So there's an economic part of that. So when the government says we want a reset of our relations with Europe, I think that's a good thing. But then when I look that the reset so far is only worth £9 billion by 2040 and I remember that Britain is a 3 trillion pound economy, I'm left saying, no, we need a much higher dosage in our reset." Anna Foster, "How high? I mean, do you advocate for rejoining the EU?" David Miliband, "Well, I'm somewhat bemused by some of the commentary. I want this strong institutional relationship with the European Union. But then I know the deal we had until 2016 is not available now. We're not going to be able to get that deal again." David Miliband, "I also know the European Union is changing profoundly. The big issue for Brussels today is not Britain joining, it's Ukraine joining and Ukraine joining the European Union is going to mean a different institutional set of arrangements inside Europe." David Miliband, "So just to give you an example, they're talking about associate membership for Ukraine, they're talking about different tiers of membership. So the question of what kind of docking are we going to do in with the European Union? It's the re part of rejoin that I think we have to understand." David Miliband, "The world is changing out there." Anna Foster, "So you're not necessarily against the concept, but what you're saying is it would never be the way it was and therefore you don't think it's the right thing." David Miliband, "For that reason, it literally can't be the way that it was. We're not in a position to, I mean, the European Union wouldn't entertain us flipping and flopping. What we have to do is build a national consensus about our position with the European Union. I'm very happy with it as a long term goal." David Miliband, "Think for this Parliament we should be really driving our economic, political and other relations. There's a big debate about defence spending going on. As we know it's affected the aid budget. There's something called the European Defence Mechanism, which is the proposal for a European backed 800 billion euro defence package that would support all European countries inside the European Union and outside." David Miliband, "We should be championing that. That would be us putting in for a mutual security funding arrangement that would help fund our own defence and European defence. Because the truth is our defence is Europe's defence and vice versa."

How does the UK rejoin the EU? Have a listen to David Miliband on BBC Radio 4 Today: Anna Foster, "The front page of the Guardian this morning is talking about the government trying to pitch an EU single market for goods, which Brussels seems to not be particularly keen on. What is your position on the government's stance at the moment on Europe and how our ongoing relationship with Europe should look?" David Miliband, "Well, I'm convinced that the security and prosperity of the UK depends on an institutionalized, deep and strong relationship with the rest of Europe. I'm absolutely convinced of that. The Russian invasion of Ukraine shows the way in which that's our number one security threat now." David Miliband, "But, we know our economy has been shrunk by 6 to 8% in the 10 years since Brexit. So there's an economic part of that. So when the government says we want a reset of our relations with Europe, I think that's a good thing. But then when I look that the reset so far is only worth £9 billion by 2040 and I remember that Britain is a 3 trillion pound economy, I'm left saying, no, we need a much higher dosage in our reset." Anna Foster, "How high? I mean, do you advocate for rejoining the EU?" David Miliband, "Well, I'm somewhat bemused by some of the commentary. I want this strong institutional relationship with the European Union. But then I know the deal we had until 2016 is not available now. We're not going to be able to get that deal again." David Miliband, "I also know the European Union is changing profoundly. The big issue for Brussels today is not Britain joining, it's Ukraine joining and Ukraine joining the European Union is going to mean a different institutional set of arrangements inside Europe." David Miliband, "So just to give you an example, they're talking about associate membership for Ukraine, they're talking about different tiers of membership. So the question of what kind of docking are we going to do in with the European Union? It's the re part of rejoin that I think we have to understand." David Miliband, "The world is changing out there." Anna Foster, "So you're not necessarily against the concept, but what you're saying is it would never be the way it was and therefore you don't think it's the right thing."

🇩🇪 🇬🇧 Germany’s Greenland Deterrence Plan Could Include British Troops to Head Off Trump’s Annexation Threats European officials led by Germany and the United Kingdom have been discussing ways to expand a NATO aligned military presence in Greenland, including the potential involvement of British soldiers, as a signal that Arctic security can be handled collectively without any change in Danish sovereignty. The idea, reported in recent days, is to back Denmark’s request for greater allied visibility on the island through joint deployments and exercises, with small units from several European countries already rotating in and out as political pressure rises. Supporters argue this is a deliberately practical form of deterrence: show capability, show unity, and remove the pretext that Greenland “needs” to be taken to be protected. The push comes amid an escalating standoff in which President Donald Trump has renewed talk of acquiring Greenland and coupled it with economic coercion, including tariffs aimed at European allies participating in Greenland deployments. European leaders have publicly rejected the annexation idea and framed their response as both a sovereignty issue for Denmark and Greenland and a NATO credibility test, even as the White House has suggested troop moves will not change Trump’s intentions. In blunt terms, Europe appears to be betting that calm, coordinated “boots on the ground” optics and a NATO framework will raise the political cost of any unilateral move and give Washington a face saving off ramp.

BIG | 🇷🇺🇳🇴‼️‼️ The Kremlin is escalating its rhetoric against Norway, with Dmitry Peskov declaring that Oslo’s military buildup near Russia’s northern border can only be viewed by Moscow as a direct security threat. Peskov said Russia’s Defence Ministry and other relevant agencies are already responding to the development. His comments followed claims by Russia’s ambassador to Norway that Oslo had deployed a battalion of South Korean-made K9 self-propelled howitzers near the Russian border, with another 24 systems expected to be transferred by 2028. The dispute reflects the rapidly changing security environment in the High North. Norway has been strengthening its northern defenses as NATO adapts to a more confrontational Russia, while Moscow increasingly portrays allied reinforcement as evidence of hostile intent. The result is a classic deterrence dilemma, with both sides reinforcing positions that the other then cites as justification for further military measures. See the latest updates with us: Visioner
