German UAV Luna NG carrier of kamikaze drones. The German concern Rheinmetall, in cooperation with the Israeli UVision, presented the concept of the latest Luna NG reconnaissance UAV, which is capable of carrying and dropping 8 kamikaze drones on the enemy. The new development was named the Rheinmetall Combat drone, and the kamikaze drones are designated Hero R. The Hero R drones were developed jointly by German and Israeli specialists. So far, it is known that the drone-carrier of drones is capable of operating within a radius of up to 100 kilometers and stay in the air for up to 12 hours.
The US approved Israel’s sale of Arrow 3 anti-ballistic system to Germany. This will be the largest arms export project in Israel’s history, valued at $3.5 billion. It will also bring further divisions within Europe as some countries like France would rather prefer that European countries invest in EU’s domestic industry, instead of increasing their dependence on the US.
The German company Mehler Protection presented a promotional video with the passive armored exoskeleton “ExoM”. The exoskeleton has a high level of ballistic protection and redistributes up to 70% of the load, which allows soldiers to carry heavy equipment. The ExoM exoskeleton is equipped with a flexible “spine”, a sliding waist belt and articulated hip, knee and ankle “joints”, which provides the operator with up to 99% ease of movement. The exoskeleton consists of titanium structures, the exoskeleton is armored according to the VPAM 8 protection class, which provides protection against three hits of armor-piercing incendiary bullets with a caliber of 7.62 × 39 mm. Thanks to the exoskeleton, physical stress on a person is reduced and the likelihood of injury is reduced. The exoskeleton does not require external power sources, making it suitable for long missions.

there's a reason why they're not arming it as heavily as they could, their primary concern is endurance... And armament is no concern for them either.
Their leadership is trying to convince the public that they need to show flag and act like an another fall guy for the US, which is super unnecessary as is.
The German-French company KNDS published footage of the destruction of drones using the BOXER RCT30 infantry fighting vehicle. The video shows the operator engaging the drones while the vehicle is moving and from a standstill, using programmable air-burst munitions. The drones are fired from a 30-mm Rheinmetall MK 30-2/ABM automatic cannon. The BOXER RCT30 combat module allows for 360° optical-electronic surveillance and is capable of hitting drones at a range of up to 1,500 meters.
