The German and Ukrainian Ministries of Defence have signed a partnership agreement on digitalization. I would think that means the Bundeswehr is looking to leverage the Ukrainian tech sector to finally get rid of the fax machines.

Thought I'd already posted it but Andriy Biletskyi, commander of 3rd Corps ZSU, has been promoted to Brigadier General.

The rest of the new corps commanders should be promoted in short order, particularly Denis Prokopenko of 12th Azov Corps NHU.

It's not something I'd realised until after watching a Ukrainian defence trade show video on YT, but the FP-5 Flamingo is the highest payload cruise missile currently in service anywhere, and by far the highest payload by range.

That would probably be the risk in Ireland suddenly increasing expenditure on defence. We need smart people making informed decisions.

Saw this elsewhere. Whatever about the methods used to project future investment rates, it really highlights just how quickly different states reacted to the invasion in 2022.
