⚡️🇪🇺🇷🇺🇺🇦 — European defense groups unveil plan for homegrown missile shield interceptor as European missile makers and defense groups have launched a new consortium to develop the continent’s first interceptor capable of destroying medium- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles in space involving Thales Airbus MBDA Deutschland Safran and aerospace startup Destinus who signed a letter of intent in Paris to establish the Bliksem EXO Consortium to develop this sovereign exo-atmospheric interceptor aiming to plug critical gaps in air defense following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, — AL ARABIYA english. ➡️ This announcement follows the launch of the Integrated Anti-Ballistic Missile Coalition in Paris where European leaders pledged to jointly develop a lower-cost alternative to the US-made Patriot air defense system as Ukraine struggles to counter intensified Russian ballistic missile attacks while shorter-range ballistic missiles typically follow trajectories that remain within the atmosphere or only briefly pass into near-space those with longer ranges spend much of their midcourse flight outside the atmosphere. ➡️ Under the letter of intent the companies plan to sign a binding consortium agreement within three months begin joint engineering work in August and carry out a test of the exo-atmospheric kill vehicle in space in 2027 although the companies stated in a joint statement that the agreement itself does not commit the parties to fund or procure the system. ✅Follow @MaxOsintIntel
