The UK's 15-year collective-training award puts a US prime and Germany's Rheinmetall inside the British Army's training pipeline; Rheinmetall's share alone is just under 1 billion euros.
An Iran war that burned through American missile-defense stockpiles is reshaping Pentagon procurement, starting with a contract to quadruple THAAD interceptor production.
Divergent says a fleet of in-house metal printers can turn out tens of thousands of missile airframes a year, and Breaking Defense reports it is already a second source for the Tomahawk. Whether that reaches the fleet depends on numbers the company has not shown.
The U.S. Army’s primary expendable jet-powered interceptor for drone defense — operated within the LIDS architecture, paired with KuRFS radar, and now arming Navy destroyers.
The US Navy's multi-role interceptor — Standard Missile 6 combines long-range air defense, terminal ballistic-missile defense, and anti-ship strike into one round, and became the first US weapon to down an anti-ship ballistic missile in combat.
Israel's mid-tier mobile air and missile defense system — a hit-to-kill interceptor designed to defeat short-range ballistic missiles, large rockets, cruise missiles and aircraft, sitting between Iron Dome and the Arrow family and increasingly central to Israel's layered shield.
The FIM-92 Stinger is a combat-proven shoulder-fired infrared-homing air-defense missile that has evolved from a Cold War MANPADS into a modern counter-drone weapon, now being refurbished, rebuilt and replaced through a multi-track programme to keep it operational into the 2030s.
To reach the Pentagon's $1.1 billion Drone Dominance program, Ukraine's combat-shaped drone firms must stand up US legal entities, hand signing authority to US citizens, build on American soil, and open their technical files. The capability crosses the Atlantic; the ownership and the IP stay behind.

The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense — a wheeled, hit-to-kill interceptor system that destroys short- and medium-range ballistic missiles in their terminal phase, both inside and just above the atmosphere.
The NASAMS is a medium-range, distributed, networked air-defense system jointly developed by Norway and the United States, built around the ground-launched AMRAAM and proven in combat in Ukraine.
