After a night of nonstop bombardment, I learned that the son of our lovely elderly building concierge has died from frontline injuries. His soldier son, her grandson, died two weeks ago. She is still wearing her black mourning scarf. She will not take it off. This is this war.

A very tall picture of the AGM turret mounted to a tracked Boxer chassis and armed with a new gun with an L58 barrel and a 29-litre chamber size capable of using zone 8 charges.
The barrel itself is in early testing but is meant to eventually be offered on all KNDS artillery systems.
#Eurosatory conventional deep strike systems 🚀
🇫🇷🇩🇪 Arianegroup introduces its B-STRIKE line, featuring the B-STRIKE 1000 and 2500 one and two-stages balistic missiles carrying a Maneurable Reentry vehicle (MaRV).
The B-1000 is a truely mobile system based on X-Fire launcher recently unveiled by Soframe and Thales, while the B-STRIKE 2500 should be considered as a relocable asset, just like US DARK EAGLE system.
Both vehicles can carry two missiles.
The B-STRIKE 2500 can be fitted with a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV), though cost per round would be much more expensive.
Respective characteristics :
- Time of flight : < 10 min / ~15 min;
- Terminal accuarcy : sub-decametric / decametric (GNSS jamming resistant)
- Apogee (max. atltitude) : > 120 km / > 150 km
Presented as pre-strategic system with counter-forces capabilities (!)
The B-STRIKE line was supposed to include the B-STRIKE 150, but it very recently lost against MBDA/SAFRAN Thunderdart. However, it does not foretell difficulties for the two others products as they address differents missions.
More pictures in following post.
France has selected the MBDA–Safran 🇫🇷 team to develop its next-generation sovereign multiple-launch rocket system, replacing the aging M270 MLRS. The decision sidelines competing bids from Thales/ArianeGroup 🇫🇷 as well as foreign options such as HIMARS 🇺🇸 and Chunmoo 🇰🇷. The new system is expected to deliver a 150 km deep-strike capability and strengthen France’s defense-industrial autonomy.
Remember in 2017 when a woman was pushed into the path of a bus on Putney Bridge by a jogger?
Well, a 44-year-old multimillionaire private banker with ties to the Royal Family and a former British Army officer has been arrested on suspicion of attempted grievous bodily harm.

The Fenris is a new Franco-Belgian concept unveiled at #Eurosatory 2026, upgrading the 6×6 EBRC Jaguar with a Cockerill 105 mm gun for significantly greater firepower and air-transportable by A400M. It aims to bridge the gap between light reconnaissance vehicles and main battle tanks.
