This week’s issue marks the 70th anniversary of the Bundeswehr, featuring the full speech by Germany’s Defence Attaché to Estonia and an editorial on why Baltic defence cooperation matters now more than ever. Other highlights include Quantum Systems’ expansion to Lithuania, Israel’s new embassy and defence business forum in Tallinn, and Sweden’s Astor Group completing its acquisition of Latvia’s Ammunity. We cover Estonia’s ambitious €150 million drone wall project, new EIB defence loans for Lithuania, and the Frankenburg–PGZ missile partnership. Plus: inside NATO’s DiBaX 2025 experiments in Latvia, Estonia’s 5G emergency alert tests, and the European Defence Agency’s robotics initiative to close the innovation gap in autonomous systems.
