Australia's military spending has been big in the news today. I don't want to scare anyone, but the Japanese cartoon (#anime) industry is worth about the same Australia's military budget. Yep. We spend about the same as the cartoon artists make. #perspective #Australia #Aussie #AusPol #AusPol24 #AusPol2024 #defence #military #budget #defenceindustry #defenseindustry

Enhanced crew safety, enhanced mobility, increased interoperability, and crucially, adaptability; traits that the L2 A-RC 3.0 purportedly excels at. If this is going to be the final Leopard 2 variant, I think it may be a worthy successor of this long lineage. Still, there are questions: 1) How expensive is the missile? Would it be economical for a single L2 A-RC 3.0 to be equipped with at least 6 of them instead of merely 1 each? 2) How are the missles loaded? Via the autoloader or manually like the SGLs? 3) Cost-effective anti-drone capabilities to eliminate cheap/expensive drones? 4) Structural integrity of the MBT's underbelly against traditional mines & IEDs? 5) Could advanced technology really be effective at replacing the Loader in assisting the Commander? 6) If the Commander is down, is the Gunner able to lead without switching seats, and still ensure mission success? 7) Switching to adjacent seats between Commander & Gunner have a considerable lag time, so is this new product going to solve that? 8) Is it easy for all three crewmen to bail out? Or is the Driver going to be disadvantaged again?

🇱🇹👏 The Lithuanian government is planning to improve the military infrastructure of US soldiers stationed in the country. The project supports the “uninterrupted presence” of Washington’s capabilities in Vilnius as part of Lithuanian-US strategic cooperation in the Baltic region. Future upgrades to the European state’s infrastructure, not yet specified, are expected to secure affairs with other partner nations in addition to American warfighters. #military #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #lithuania #unitedstates #us #usarmy #baltic #baltics

🚀 A group of seven European countries plans a joint development and procurement proposal for a European ground-launched long-range weapon. The proposal was discussed at a June 24 meeting of the defense ministers of the Weimar Triangle states, which comprise Germany, France, and Poland. A letter of intent is expected to be signed during the summit along with the UK, Spain, Italy, and Sweden, laying the foundation of the European Long Strike Approach. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #europe #nato #germany #france #poland #uk #spain #italy #sweden

Commenting on i24 on reports that Israel wants to sign a Middle East regional defense treaty with the United States against Iran, I expressed concern that Israel is finally admitting that it has no real military option and is outsourcing our fundamental defense. #middleeast #military #iran #israeldefenseforces #israel #michaeloren i24NEWS

It's always a pleasure to be part of the PANDUR User Group (#PUG) A meeting where we were able to talk about the Integrated Logistics Support (#ILS) of one of the Portuguese Army's most important Weapons Systems, with contributions and exchanges of experience with other Nations that use the PANDUR platform. We also have the opportunity to get first-hand information from the General Dynamics European Land Systems (OEM) about future developments of this vehicle platform.

The United States is predicting a possible worsening of the security situation in Europe. The latest forward-looking reports of the European crisis reveal that Ukraine will not achieve a significant breakthrough in the war with Russia in 2024. What remains if Russia consolidates on the ground could threaten the borders of the European Union. This precautionary measure is appropriate. #ukraine #ukrainerussiawar #russia #internationalsecurity #internationalaffairs #war #defense #military #threats

#Ukraine has received more than USD 80 Billion worth #military aid which is almost equal to the #defense #budget of #India (USD 81.4 Billion) and more than the defense budget of countries like #Saudiarabia (USD 75 Billion), #Unitedkingdom (USD 68.5 Billion), #Germany (USD 55.8 Billion), #France (USD 53.6 Billion) and most other #NATO countries, since the beginning of the #russiaukrainewar.
