NVL B.V. & Co. KG og TKMS inviterede dansk industri til åben dialog for at afdække mulighederne for gensidigt frugtbart industrisamarbejde omkring de nye fregatter til den danske flåde ⛴️🇩🇰

Tak til firmaer som Danske Flådeskibe K/S, OMT – Odense Maritime Technology, Navigate, MDSI, Normark Defence, DESMI og COWI for at deltage konstruktivt 🙏🏼

Tak til den tyske ambassade for husly og værtsskab.

German warship maker TKMS has submitted a non-binding bid for smaller peer German Naval Yards (GNYK), the company told Reuters on Thursday.

“Discussions between our two companies will continue with an open outcome,” TKMS said in an emailed statement, without disclosing any details around the offer.

TKMS, which was spun off from parent Thyssenkrupp in October, last month said it expected to decide soon on whether to buy GNYK, reflecting its ambition to expand in light of growing demand for defence equipment.

GNYK is part of the family-owned CMN Naval group – a French shipbuilder active in naval and yacht construction – and employs around 400 people directly.

British defence, marine and industrial firm Inocea Group is in talks to buy GNYK, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters in December, indicating broader interest as European defence firms look for effective ways to expand.

Russia set up a supply chain for U.S.-made Starlink terminals by manipulating customs declarations and product certification records.

According to Nordsint, a journalistic investigation discovered that some of the devices entered Russia not through direct sales from the manufacturer, but via a network of licensed suppliers and intermediaries operating in neighboring countries.

An error in the documentation enabled the identification of one of the intermediaries and the tracing of the equipment’s origin that ultimately reached Russia. In particular, Starlink terminals were declared as “other electronic components” or registered as civilian-use goods.

This method of supply makes it significantly more difficult to enforce sanctions and export controls.

Despite SpaceX’s official statements that it does not sell to Russia, the enemy has been successfully using this extensive “parallel import” system and activating accounts through third countries.

For example, in June 2025, Starlink Maritime kits were declared using the address of the Dutch company Castor Marine, and earlier documents even listed the address of a Tesla dealership in Amsterdam.

The UAE serves as a key logistics hub, particularly the company Emaross Group FZE, whose labeling was found directly on the packaging of terminals advertised by Russian volunteers for the needs of the so-called “special military operation.” Similar schemes operate through Hong Kong and the company Di Global Limited, which is linked to the distribution of DJI drones.

This network allows the invaders to freely purchase equipment on Russian domestic marketplaces such as Ozon and Wildberries. At the same time, specialized dealers even offer bulk supplies and advice on how to conceal antennas.

It is also worth noting that tracking the supply of these terminals is difficult because some devices sent as part of humanitarian or government missions ended up in areas controlled by Russian forces or on the secondary market.

In addition, Russians have started installing Starlink terminals on their own drones. For example, in December 2025, the use of Starlink on the Molniya-2R UAV was confirmed, as shown on the official page of a project linked to the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine.

According to the published photos, the equipment installation is not improvised. The presence of standard mounting points indicates a systematic, organized process.

European Union plans to create a light multirole combat turboprop aircraft FMLA (Future Multirole Light Aircraft), with €15 million already allocated for a competition to create it. This financing is secured in the European Defence Fund program by European Commission decision.

A separate item in EDF Work Programme 2026, including details in Annex 3, establishes development of an aircraft that should not duplicate or rely on existing turboprop aircraft. But be cheap and perform close air support missions, intercept drones, conduct reconnaissance, coordinate strikes, and provide target designation.

FMLA is expected to become valuable due to its versatility, low operating costs, and adaptability, and will also be easily re-equipped for civil security missions, such as search and rescue operations.

Requirements for the new turboprop aircraft include: turboprop engine use, takeoff weight up to 7,500kg, short takeoff and landing capability (STOL) meaning operation from runways up to 450 meters long.

Also specified is use of modern technologies and materials that should minimize aircraft visibility on radar and other detection systems, plus electronic warfare resistance. Meanwhile, the necessity to have own radar systems and adaptive camouflage means is stated. Additionally, requirements are noted regarding operation in harsh conditions and environmental friendliness.

Regarding FMLA’s direct combat role, already at the requirements development stage for this machine, it’s indicated that it is intended for low-intensity conflicts, operations in suppressed enemy air defense conditions, and missions below the threshold of open conflict. Also, this aircraft should be a cost-effective solution for countries that cannot afford modern aviation assets.

Defense Express notes that everything described strongly resembles what Super Tucano from Embraer can already do. Except for the logical radar requirement and the very strange desire to ensure low observability because combining a propeller engine with effective stealth technologies is quite a non-trivial task.

But in any case, EU intentions to create its own cost-effective air asset looks like a very positive shift. However, all positive impressions from initiating this very pragmatic project are destroyed by its timeline. Because the delivery horizon for this new aircraft is currently defined at 2035-2040.

Magnet Defense, a developer of fully autonomous national security maritime platforms for fleet operations and missile defense missions, announced that it has officially completed its acquisition of Metal Shark, a leading designer and shipbuilder of highly-capable maritime platforms for defense and law enforcement missions.

Magnet Defense press release

The combination of Magnet Defense and Metal Shark offers U.S. and allied militaries a leading supplier of AI-enabled unmanned surface vessels (USVs). Metal Shark’s shipyards are the hubs from which Magnet Defense will deliver critical capabilities for the U.S. Golden Fleet initiative.

The acquisition represents a critical step in Magnet Defense’s strategy to pair advanced robotics and AI-enabled software-defined systems with domestic industrial-scale production. By integrating Metal Shark’s established shipbuilding operations, workforce, and facilities, Magnet Defense moves from prototype development to sustained delivery of autonomous maritime platforms at speed and scale.

Global maritime security demands are increasing rapidly, while U.S. shipbuilding capacity has lagged behind its peer competitors. Magnet Defense addresses this gap by combining artificial intelligence, modular vessel design, and modern manufacturing approaches to rebuild domestic maritime capability and deliver next-generation platforms faster and more efficiently.

Metal Shark brings more than 20 years of experience designing and constructing mission-specific vessels, with over 2,000 vessels delivered to customers worldwide, including over 500 vessels for the U.S. Navy, 600 vessels for the U.S. Coast Guard, and hundreds more for allied nation military forces around the globe.

The company’s two Louisiana manufacturing facilities encompass more than 125,000 square feet of manufacturing space across 40 acres and are supported by a seasoned workforce and a strong engineering organization. These assets provide Magnet Defense with immediate production depth and execution capacity.
