Europe’s defense sector is breaking records, with weapons factories expanding at a pace not seen in generations. Satellite data shows the arms industry building three times faster than during peacetime, adding more than 7 million square meters of new industrial space since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

India is moving to dramatically expand its fleet of French-made Rafale fighters, even as Moscow continues its years-long push to sell New Delhi more Su-35s and its next-generation Su-57 stealth jets.
