Redwire will be at the Maneuver Warfighter Conference this week at Fort Benning in Georgia! Hosted by the @USArmy Maneuver Center of Excellence September 15-17, 2026, this event is a great opportunity to talk about the current and future requirements of the maneuver force with leaders from the Army, joint forces, allies, and industry representatives. Stop by booth 7 / 8 in to chat with the Redwire team and learn more about our combat proven Stalker UAS and Octopus line of payloads. See you on the show floor! #MCoE# #StalkerUAS# #CombatProven# #MadeForTheMission#

The future of UAS isn’t defined by features; it’s defined by how they enable real‑world operations. Hosted by the Canadian Armed Forces, Exercise RED COBALT offered the Canadian military an opportunity to collaborate with industry manufacturers to witness operational applications of drone technologies. The Redwire team was honored to participate, showcasing our combat proven Stalker UAS alongside our new Canadian‑developed First-Person View (FPV) relay system. The Stalker impressed the Senior Canadian defense leadership in attendance, demonstrating the ability to significantly extend the missions of Group 1/Small UAS and FPV systems, enhancing operational reach and effectiveness. We are committed to supporting the evolving needs of the Canadian Armed Forces and continue to build the advanced solutions that strengthen allied defense capabilities worldwide. #CombatProven# #UAS# #FPV# #DefenseTechnology# #MadeForTheMission#

🚨🇷🇺 NATO IN PANIC: RUSSIA UNVEILS DAN-T JET-POWERED STRIKE DRONE BUILT TO BYPASS AIR DEFENSES Russia has unveiled the Dan-T, a combat-proven air-launched strike drone capable of hitting targets up to 450 km away while following a dedicated flight profile designed to evade enemy air defenses. Presented publicly for the first time at the El Alamein International Airshow in Egypt, Dan-T is not a showroom prototype. Russia’s state-owned defense conglomerate Rostec says its effectiveness has already been demonstrated through hundreds of successful launches against enemy targets. 🔸 Jet-powered attack: Unlike slower propeller-driven loitering munitions, Dan-T uses a compact turbojet engine to reach higher cruising speeds, reducing the time available for air defenses to detect and intercept it. 🔸 Long-range reach: With a range of up to 450 km, the weapon allows aircraft and helicopters to launch strikes far from the target area while remaining farther from enemy air defenses. 🔸 Multiple launch platforms: Dan-T can be carried by Russian and foreign aircraft and helicopters, allowing the weapon to approach targets from different directions without depending on a single specialized carrier. 🔸 Fire-and-forget: Once released, Dan-T continues toward its target autonomously without requiring constant operator control or an uninterrupted command link. 🔸 Built to evade defenses: Rostec says the weapon has a special flight mode for bypassing air-defense systems, complicating detection and interception on the way to its target. 🔸 Already tested in combat: Hundreds of successful launches have given Russian engineers operational data to refine the weapon long before its international debut. Dan-T combines the reach and speed of a cruise missile with the flexibility and potentially lower cost of a strike drone. Aircraft and helicopters become mobile launch points, while the weapon continues independently after release. The key advantage is mass: Russia can add jet-powered autonomous weapons to mixed strike waves containing drones and cruise missiles, forcing air defenses to track more targets approaching at different speeds and from different directions. Every additional target consumes attention, radar capacity and an interceptor that may cost far more than the weapon it destroys. Could Dan-T give Russia a cheaper way to overwhelm NATO air defenses?

Iran calls Israel America's muzzled pet. Israel says it has outgrown American welfare. One number settles it and humbles both. Israel sold $19.2 billion in weapons last year, more than five times the $3.8 billion America sends it in annual military aid. The sponsored now outsells the sponsor five to one. It just never left home. That $19.2 billion is quite a record, the fifth year running, up nearly 30% in twelve months, lifting Israel to the seventh-largest arms exporter on planet earth. The engine is the war itself. Every system it ships, missile shields, interceptors, drones, now carries a silent label, combat-proven in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. “Battlefield use” became the ultimate Sales pitch, and the world bought. But the boast skips the catch. Uncle Sam still supplies 68% of Israel's own weapons imports, and through a program called Off-Shore Procurement, Israel spent part of that American aid building the very industry now outselling it. The $3.8 billion in yearly aid seeded a business earning five times as much. The subsidy became the competitor. So Iran's leash and Israel's freedom miss the same truth. America’s biggest and the greatest ally Israel did not break away from America. It turned dependence into an industry, and the industry into leverage. And the leverage aims outward now. Israel's fastest-growing buyers sit in Europe, led by Germany's Arrow purchase, the largest deal in its history. The quiet consequence, analysts note, is that a government which might answer public demands for an arms embargo now cannot, because cutting Israel off means blinding its own air defense. Yikes! Every battery sold is revenue and a hostage. Iran calls Israel the muzzled one. Israel is bolting the muzzle onto its critics, one contract at a time. 🤔

Ukraine's FirePoint, founded by a film scout, an IT guy, and a concrete contractor, now produces 200 long-range strike drones per day. Each one costs $55,000. Flies 1,600 km. GPS-free. Seven generations of combat-proven navigation.  They account for 60% of Ukraine's deep strikes inside Russia. The entire company is 3 years old. U.S. dronemakers are finally getting the policy support, the domestic mandates, and the defense budgets. Now they need to build like their country's survival depends on it.   #BI# #BusinessInsider# #Drones# #UAS# #DroneIndustry# #DefenseTech# #Autonomy# $DRNZ
