Stark Defence

The head of Spain's Joint Cyberspace Command has issued a stark warning, saying the military cannot imagine against whom or what it will have to fight in cyberspace and must therefore prepare for the worst possible scenario. The remarks highlight growing concern in Spain over unpredictable cyber threats and the need to strengthen national digital defence capabilities.

German defence startup Stark Defence plans to launch the Vanta 24 next year, a 24-meter uncrewed surface vessel capable of carrying 50 metric tons at speeds up to 64 kph. The design responds to growing European naval demand for unmanned platforms, driven partly by increased Russian submarine activity in the Baltic and North Sea regions.

The UK Defence Secretary has warned the British public to be ready for war within 1,000 days, urging households and communities to prepare for potential conflict. The stark warning is drawing widespread attention and debate, with many questioning the government's assessment of the threat facing the country and what such preparations would actually involve for ordinary citizens.
