European defense technology company Helsing unveiled its new unmanned stealth bomber, the CA-1 Europe, on September 25th, 2025, designed for deep enemy hinterland operations. This announcement comes as Germany commits 35 billion Euros to space security over the next five years, a move spurred by reports of Russian satellites shadowing NATO communications. Germany's Defense Ministry stated on September 25th, 2025, that two Russian "Luch-Olymp-K" Signals-Surveillance Satellites are actively monitoring Intelsat communication satellites utilized by the German Armed Forces and NATO, characterizing the action as a "fundamental threat." This follows a 2018 incident where France reported a similar maneuver by a Luch-Olymp-K satellite, which was then described as an "Act of Espionage." In parallel security developments, Romania's Supreme Council of National Defense announced on September 25th, 2025, at approximately 12:37 PM UTC, that mission commanders will have the authority to down military aircraft entering Romanian airspace. The sentencing of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy to five years in prison for "criminal association" in the Libyan financing case also occurred on September 25th, 2025. The CA-1 Europe stealth bomber's first test flight is anticipated in 2027. The German investment in space security highlights a growing focus on protecting critical assets in the space domain. The @USNATO has emphasized the need for unified action to counter revenue streams funding Russia's war efforts.
