From gift to factory: France lets Ukraine produce its own precision heavy hitters.
Military aid usually means shipping old hardware and hoping the stockpile holds.
But Paris and Emmanuel Macron just took a far bigger step. Under the latest agreement with Zelenskyy, Ukraine now gets the license to manufacture French best‑sellers like the AASM Hammer glide bomb, SCALP cruise missile and Aster 30 air‑defense missile directly on Ukrainian soil.
That means the famous French “Hammer” already loved by Ukrainian pilots for flattening Russian positions with remarkable precision will soon be rolling straight out of Ukrainian factories.
Moving production from Paris to the edge of the battlefield doesn’t just streamline logistics; it signals that Western defense industries are done handing out single fish and are now giving Ukraine the entire fishing rod.
A shift from charity shipments to full‑scale industrial partnership and a reminder that Ukraine’s war economy is becoming part of Europe’s own.

🇹🇷🇮🇱 Turkey has formally requested that Interpol issue international Red Notices for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli soldier Afek Moskovitch.
A Red Notice is a request to police forces worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition.
The legal action stems from Turkey’s domestic judicial proceedings against 35 individuals regarding Israel’s military interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters.
Afek Moskovitch is an Israeli soldier and former intelligence officer.
