Germany to order strike drones worth 536 million euros

BERLIN: The German government plans to order strike drones worth 536 ​million euros ($638 million) from German startups Helsing and Stark Defense, part of a rearmament push after Russia’s attack on Ukraine. The contracts for ‌loitering munitions — ‌drones that ‌hover over ⁠a ​potential ‌strike area before flying into targets — are part of a larger framework deal worth 4.3 billion euros. The contracts, outlined in documents ⁠seen by Reuters, are widely ‌expected to be ‍rubber-stamped by ‍the lower house of parliament’s ‍budget committee. They were first reported by Spiegel magazine.
