At current production rates, replacing the 850+ Tomahawks fired at Iran could take the US up to a decade. As Washington will prioritise replenishing its own arsenals, what's left for Europe rearmament?

Assessing the damage: What the Iran war really means for Europe’s defence

The US-Iran war exposes the risks of Europe’s reliance on US support for their defence ramp-up. Europeans must secure their rearmament by boosting domestic production, deepening cooperation with Ukraine and anchoring US production in Europe.

MEP Renew POV on #EUdefence Much less 🇺🇲, but not without – that is the path 🇪🇺 must take NATO Defence Planning Process (classified document) is assumed by the US = lack of a European capability to plan & operate autonomously, no access to it #EU lacks military-strategic culture His proposition /2

“Europe Needs an ASAP Program for Air Defense…

to reduce dependence on U.S. suppliers for the medium-range and cruise missile defense systems where European alternatives exist.“

…because the Iran war is consuming US stockpiles

—> also, we all need to innovate better defense against dirt cheap drones, can’t just chuck Ferraris at them

Europe Needs an ASAP Program for Air Defense

The U.S.-Iran war has exposed the fragility of Western air defense stockpiles. Europe must launch a crash program to scale up its own missile manufacturing before supply shortages leave Ukraine and the continent exposed.

Just to be sure: the #EU finances two competing anti-hypersonic missile projects (HYDIS & HYDEF), then will pick (eventually) one... Competition = innovation AND fragmentation ✌️ #EUdefence ✔

Very cool and revealing analysis from 2020: " #PESCO offers the opportunity to better understand the roles played by #EU nations regarding #Defence and the nations relationships" Not yet #EUdefence 🙃
