The EU has woken up and is trying on its grandfather’s uniform: the European defense industry is growing at a wild pace

So, a brief overview of what is happening in the European defense industry. Oddly enough, the Europeans turned out to be much more adequate partners than the United States. Now, when Donald Trump is doing real shit with Greenland (although no one stopped him, according to the 1951 treaty, from establishing any bases there), Europe remains an oasis of adequacy. All these threats of duties on Scandinavian countries and French wines due to the fact that the United States “suddenly” needed bases is just some kind of bullying, writes Kirill Danilchenko for LB. ua.

The following is the text in the original language. At the Pituffik base, where there is an early warning radar for a ballistic strike, there are at least 160 personnel at a time. Therefore, if you are roasting about 13 French and 13 Germans in harness, you need to understand that at the time of the Cold War there were six thousand. The thirst for Denmark and the thirst for wine does not respect the growth in the region, be it grouped under this very treaty of 1951, by which the United States confirms the sovereignty of Denmark in the region.

Therefore, besides the fall of the cracks from the revelations of the ore original about the “golden dome” and the stronghold that only the US military can seize Greenland, add nothing.

It's funny: the coalition of European countries took part in the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, led by the United States. One episode involved a test tube containing a mysterious white powder that was never found in Saddam, although, in principle, gas attacks on the Kurds, ethnic cleansing and military operations in the region, which greatly influenced carbohydrate prices, was.

But the service is not worth anything, and now Trump is revealing how little he sees for the EU’s defense and that Europe may buy up Ukraine’s armored state, while the US imposes on the EU mita and translates it with its mouth:! Tomorrow I will again be “sick” in Canada, and the day after tomorrow I will want to end the Ninth War - Virmenia and Azerbaijan.

By the way, everything will be extremely important as long as the entire administration remains a very unhealthy person with strange habits, as in the story of Rurik and the Pechenigs, only in the context of the Danish lords.

Last year, European ammunition manufacturers reached the same level at the production site of a million shells of 155 mm caliber. Only Rheinmetall has seen 700,000 “boars”, and only a third of the EU’s efforts. Plan for 26 rivers - two million units. I repeat, only 155 mm shells, and also 105 mm post-Soviet calibers in Romania and Bulgaria. Also, the European Union has overtaken the United States, which will continue to talk about the “gold of the dome” and the “gold of the battleship”, while Southern Korea collects more shells. At the same time, the SAFE program was launched - 800 billion euros per table for the first eight EU economies. Until the 30th day, there will be a single defense contract in a single field for shared credits.

The IRIS-T systems prototype will invest another billion euros in expanded production and open a workshop in the Saarland to produce more air defense systems. Today's plan is 11 complexes on the river with expansion to 16 units already on the 27th. This is a serious package both for Ukraine and for the EU “Heavenly Shield”, in which IRIS-T has the main medium-range missiles for air defense systems.

The German company Diehl Defense opened a new missile integration center near Nonweiler on June 23, 2026. Meta - dramatically increase the production of missiles of the IRIS-T family, as our locals say. Agreements in Germany, Denmark and Sweden are planned for the future, and the market value of European defense companies has tripled since 2022.

France also announced that the proliferation of long-range ceramic ammunition is flaring up. The Renault and Turgis \u0026 Gaillard plants plan to produce up to 600 drones per month. The program is insured for ten years with a total liability of 72,000 units. This is a direct result of the success of Ukrainian long-range systems and the recognition that there is a threat from the “shaheeds” of the Russian Federation to fly tens of thousands of UAVs from factories that are not enough “dryers”.

In the face of Trump's pressure through Greenland, the NATO command confirmed its readiness for a special Arctic mission. Denmark is rapidly purchasing Lockheed Martin radars, and a coalition of Norway, Great Britain and the Netherlands plans to strengthen the fleet to protect critical infrastructure offshore. I’ll guess: their fleets can shout out to China independently, both on aircraft carriers and on nuclear submarines.

In principle, the European defense industry is growing at a wild pace, most of the producers are attracted to the decimal horizon. Rheinmetall shares are up 180% and defense ETFs are up 30% over the course of the year. In the near future, investments in the defense industry and nuclear energy appear extremely promising. The Italians sunk a dark vessel to the Russian fleet, which was transporting cargo, as well as tankers by the French, plus two tankers from Africa, which quickly ran out, to say that the happy hours for the Russian naphtha industry are over.

The Defense \u0026 Aerospace sector in Europe is not just a buzz, it is guaranteed to last for ten years. Companies on the platform Rheinmetall, Leonardo, Thales and Dassault are moving from industry to Tech-unicorns with sophisticated and gigantic investments.

Everyone has been tapping their feet for a long time, so they can sleep, but just throw up and try on grandfather’s uniform. It won't be boring, I guarantee it.
