René Obermann, chairman of Airbus, has called for urgent action by European nations to strengthen their defense systems. He emphasized that electronic warfare capabilities, low-orbit satellite networks, and nuclear deterrence are critical to maintaining the continent’s security and strategic relevance in a changing global landscape.
Investing in Defense Production and Multinational Cooperation
Obermann stressed the importance of expanding defense manufacturing to meet rising security demands. He also highlighted the need for greater collaboration among European countries on defense programs, arguing that joint projects can enhance operational efficiency and ensure that military forces are prepared for emerging threats.
Unified Strategy Essential for Strategic Autonomy
The Airbus executive underlined that Europe can only achieve true strategic independence through coordinated efforts. By sharing expertise, advancing technological innovation, and aligning defense strategies across nations, European countries can better safeguard their interests and respond effectively to complex global security challenges.
