France Explores Laser Defense for Charles de Gaulle Aircraft Carrier Against Future Drone Attacks

German defense company Helsing has unveiled an air defense system that uses AI to track and engage hundreds or thousands of drones and missiles at once, plus two new missiles it says will cost far less than today’s interceptors.

La @DGA francesa ha desarrollado una familia de USV kamikaze, SMOKERS o “Scalable Maritime Operational Kamikaze System, Developed under Sovereign Control”, en sólo 6 meses. Si se quiere, es posible que la industria europea pueda desarrollar nuevos sistemas en un tiempo adaptado a las realidades de la situación estratégica actual 🫡
The French Defense Procurement Agency (@DGA) has rapidly developed the low-cost SMOKERS kamikaze USV, moving from concept to sea trials in just six months 🇫🇷🚤💥
Reconciling multi-year defense programs with agile, rapid-cycle developments to keep pace with accelerating technology is a primary challenge for the DGA. Its objective is to deliver “sufficiently mature” products to French sailors quickly.
The SMOKERS family of loitering munitions, an acronym for “Scalable Maritime Operational Kamikaze System, Developed under Sovereign Control”, exemplifies this effort. Transitioning from initial concept to a product mature enough for recent French Navy exercises took just six months. This initiative draws directly from operational lessons learned in Ukraine and the Arabian Gulf.

Ciertamente el valor militar de la B61, incluso sus últimas versiones con GPS, es limitado. Pero su valor político es, a día de hoy, inconmensurable. Pero dependiente de los EEUU
NATO’s U.S.-led nuclear sharing relies on B-61 gravity nuclear bombs, designed in the 1960s to stop Soviet tank divisions sprinting from East Germany. They have become increasingly obsolete in a modern war—and pose a limited threat to the Russian homeland given advances in Russian air defenses.
France’s ASMP-A nuclear-tipped cruise missiles on Rafales, by contrast, are designed to strike Russia’s main cities and have a high chance of reaching their targets, creating an entirely different level of deterrence.
The very nature of French nuclear doctrine and its nuclear arsenal makes it in some ways more threatening to Russia, said Nicole Grajewski, an expert on Russia and nuclear affairs at Sciences Po university in Paris. “The B-61 bombs are not instruments for war fighting, they’re pretty much instruments of political assurance,” she said. “The French nuclear arsenal, by contrast, can reach Russia.” @NicoleGrajewski

Ukrainian drones reportedly struck Russia’s AVISMA titanium plant in Perm Krai, about 1,500 km from Ukraine, on 25 October.
The plant produces titanium alloys used in military aircraft, engines, missiles, and space technology. Russia’s regional governor reported five people injured in the attack.

2026 ha estabilizado el frente en Ucrania pese a las 40.000 bajas rusas mensuales.
Ukraine, not Russia, has held the initiative in key sectors of the frontline for much of the year. Ukrainian forces have decisively defeated the main Russian offensive intended to complete the seizure of Donetsk Oblast in 2026. Ukrainian forces operationally defeated the Russian northern pincer in the Lyman direction and defeated the Russian military command’s plan to conduct a wide encirclement of Ukraine’s Fortress Belt.
Ukraine’s Operation Vivaldi resulted in the liberation of around 277 square kilometers and 16 settlements north and northeast of Lyman over four phases that Ukrainian 3rd Army Corps Commander Brigadier General Andrii Biletskyi began announcing in September 2026, although the operation likely began around March 2026.

The Super Hornet line is officially winding down! On September 29, the same day Boeing won the F/A-XX contract, the Navy awarded Boeing a roughly $16.7 million contract to support the orderly shutdown of the Super Hornet and Growler production lines in St. Louis. The clock is ticking for the Navy’s do-it-all jet 😞 1/2

Navantia launched the seventh corvette built for the Royal Saudi Naval Forces at its shipyards in the Bay of Cádiz. The ship, to be named Neom, is the second in the batch contracted in 2025, following the five units built between 2019 and 2024 🇪🇸 🇸🇦

🇪🇺 OCCAR-managed Hypersonic Defence Interceptor (HYDEF) programme has successfully completed its first stage with the End-of-Project (EOP) milestone event.
According to an OCCAR statement, HYDEF achieved all planned objectives and exceeded initial expectations throughout this first stage, "delivering a mature and technically viable concept for a future European endo-atmospheric interceptor capability".
One of the programme’s most significant achievements was the successful maturation of all critical technologies to at least Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3. In addition, several high-priority technologies advanced to TRL levels between 4 and 6 through testing in relevant environments, significantly reducing technological risks and providing a solid basis for future development. A comprehensive development roadmap has also been established with the objective of delivering a technological demonstrator at TRL 6 by 2030.
EU HYDEF programme is a joint European initiative to develop a next-generation endo-atmospheric interceptor capable of neutralizing highly maneuverable and hypersonic glide vehicles. The programme is funded with a total amount of €110 million, of which €100 million are co-funded by the EU European Defence Fund (EDF) and the other €10 million are funded by the five participating states: Belgium, Germany, Norway, Poland and Spain. 🇧🇪🇩🇪🇳🇴🇵🇱🇪🇸
The HYDEF Consortium consists of 12 companies - SONACA from Belgium; Diehl Defence from Germany; NAMMO from Norway; ILOT and ITWL from Poland; SMS, EM&E, GMV, Instalaza, INTA, Navantia and Sener from Spain. @DiehlDefence @emegroup_ @NavantiaOficial

🇪🇺 European Hypersonic Defence Interceptor (EU HYDEF) programme has completed its Preliminary Requirements Review (PRR), marking the final technical milestone of its first stage.
The successful completion of the PRR on August 26 marked the conclusion of the programme’s Feasibility Phase and the Early Maturation of Critical Technologies and Designs. During this phase, the selected concept was fully defined, including the technical solutions, development plans, physical and functional concepts, and the associated functional architecture.
According to OCCAR, all critical technologies within the Block 0 interceptor configuration have now achieved at least Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3. The first stage of the programme will formally conclude with the End of Project Meeting, scheduled for 22 October 2026 in Madrid, Spain.

The strike heavily damaged a chip fab at the factory.

SkyDefender, la capacidad CEC para la @MarineNationale
🔴 Depuis trente ans, la Marine américaine a un avantage que personne ne lui conteste : ses navires peuvent tirer sur une cible repérée par le radar d'un autre bâtiment ou d'un avion. Ce système s'appelle le CEC.
L'Allemagne l'a choisi pour ses futures frégates F127. Washington a autorisé la vente en avril, avec le système de combat Aegis et les radars SPY-6.
La France a pris un autre chemin. À Euronaval, Thales présente la version navale de son SkyDefender. L'objectif est de permettre aux frégates, aux avions et aux capteurs d'une flotte de partager leurs informations pour se défendre ensemble contre les missiles et les drones.
Les briques existent déjà : radars Sea Fire de Thales, missiles Aster de MBDA. Le plus dur reste le logiciel, capable de les faire travailler ensemble en quelques secondes. Le système américain a des décennies d'avance, et la solution française n'en est pas encore là.
La mer Rouge a montré pourquoi c'est vital : face à des dizaines de drones et de missiles à la fois, un navire seul épuise vite ses radars et ses munitions.
Berlin achète américain pour aller vite. Paris choisit de développer son propre système, quitte à prendre plus de temps.
Ce qui s'achète peut être retardé, limité ou refusé. Ce qu'on maîtrise soi-même, personne ne peut nous le retirer. C'est la richesse et la souveraineté de l'industrie française.

El 25 de octubre de 1588, la nao Santa Ana, capitana de la escuadra de Guipúzcoa y que había regresado malparada de sus encuentros con la marina inglesa, estalla en el puerto de Pasajes por un descuido en el manejo de la pólvora.
Fallecen decenas de hombres, quizás cientos.
Uno de sus tripulantes, un hombre de color, es lanzado por la explosión hasta unos matorrales en tierra, donde permaneció aturdido dos días hasta que regresó.
«Le arrojó en más de un tiro de arcabuz a un jaral de la parte de San Sebastián, quien después de dos días volvió aturdido, y vivió».
