Europe Faces Urgent Defense Challenges
René Obermann, chairman of Airbus, has urged European nations to act swiftly to strengthen their military capabilities. He emphasized that investments in electronic warfare, low-orbit satellites, and nuclear defense are essential to ensure Europe can maintain security and strategic influence in a rapidly shifting global environment.
Boosting Production and Strengthening Cooperation
Obermann highlighted the need to expand defense manufacturing to meet the continent’s rising security needs. He also encouraged closer collaboration among European countries on defense programs, arguing that joint efforts can improve efficiency, readiness, and overall military effectiveness.
Unified Approach Crucial for Strategic Independence
The Airbus executive stressed that Europe can achieve true strategic autonomy only through coordinated defense initiatives. By combining expertise, sharing advanced technologies, and aligning strategies across nations, European countries can better protect their interests and respond to emerging global threats.
