Attacks occur in coordinated waves designed to overwhelm air defence, and targets have diversified beyond electricity to gas production and […]

Rogue drones entering European airspace were never isolated incidents. Russia conducted a coordinated drone campaign across Europe – as a recent IISS report concludes. These findings reinforce what many in the defence community have recognised for some time: Europe needs a faster, more agile approach to counter-drone capability. That is why Rasmussen Global launched Dronetex. […]

NATO’s procurement architecture, and those of most Allies, is still anchored to an outdated Cold War logic, far from the operational reality of the wars in Ukraine and in the Middle East. At The Hague last year, Allies committed to 5% of GDP on defence. One year later, the main question shifts to how they […]

The name “Churchill” is somehow familiar to me. I seem to have heard of it before. Since childhood, I have admired Winston Churchill as a principled, persistent and passionate leader of the […]

As the EU advances the Industrial Accelerator Act, a flagship initiative of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to revive Europe’s manufacturing base, a new report by Rasmussen Global warns that Europe remains dangerously exposed on critical raw materials (CRMs). The report finds that Europe has fallen behind both allies and adversaries in securing CRMs—materials […]
