flag Germany awards €600M in drone contracts despite failed tests, amid European military buildup.

flag Germany is moving forward with €900 million in drone contracts despite failed field tests, including significant misses by startup Stark’s kamikaze drones during trials near Munster and reported failures in Kenya. flag Two drones from Stark missed targets by over 150 meters, one crashing into woodland. flag Rheinmetall, a major defense firm, did not participate in the evaluation. flag Both Stark and Rheinmetall were awarded €300 million contracts each, pending final parliamentary approval. flag The procurement is part of a broader European military buildup amid concerns over Russia, though Moscow disputes the threat. flag The push follows increased defense spending and record profits for Western arms firms since the Ukraine war began.
