I spent 2 days in Paris 🇫🇷 in EUROSATORY for the first time and was able to see some interesting developments.

I spent some time around the numerous Ukrainian 🇺🇦 companies to witness the drone revolution. Example here, the famous Bulava drone used for mid-range strikes.

The first thing I saw : the pink Flamingo. I was surprised how large this 'missile' is.

On the background, you can also see the famous FP-2, which is also very impressive.

FP-7 and FP-9 were there also if I'm not mistaking.

One interesting point, ukrainian stands are quite small but filled with techologies and battle proven drones, most of those I had no idea about.

Many companies are not advertising their drones.

Drones were everywhere in the saloon, but I saw two things :

▫️Many european companies (including french ones) have catched up with the Ukrainians, mainly because they are directly testing their drones.
▫️Many drones seems like total bullshit for someone following multiple wars

Ukrainian drones are largely in advance, but small european companies are very good.

An important point, a good drone is a drone that is proven to be good, it should be tested in Ukraine.

An army that is training without drones will loose the next war.

French techologies are very good but lack the anti-drone component. We saw the first cope caged Leclercs so it will come sooner or later.

I saw a very large number of armored vehicles from many countries, but I was surprised by the massive Turkish defense industry.

They are everywhere and have everything, the governement really has a good defense and investment policy.

I saw some Ukrainian UGVs and USVs, which look very efficient.

The USV FPV drone launcher is looking good, and a revolution for many countries coastal defense.

One last point about the UGVs : European ones are way too big and wouldn't be used in Ukraine. They cost too much as well.

If we do not adapt to what the Ukrainians/Russians do, they will dominate the market after the war.
