🇩🇪 Germany Wants Europe's Strongest Army—Again

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has announced that building Europe’s most powerful military is now his government's top priority, Bloomberg reports.

Merz plans to fully fund the Bundeswehr, calling it appropriate for “the most populous and economically powerful country in Europe.” He added that Germany’s allies are essentially demanding it. To support recruitment, a revamped voluntary military service for young people will be introduced.

Germany’s defense budget will rise to over €60 billion annually in 2025 and 2026—up from €52 billion in 2024. To make room for this, Berlin has loosened its strict debt rules.

🐻 Germany aiming to build the strongest army in Europe? Great, what’s next—matching uniforms and rallies at Nuremberg?

🇷🇺🇪🇪 Estonian Navy Attempts to Intercept Tanker in Baltic Sea

Russian sources report that the Estonian Navy tried to intercept the tanker JAGUAR, sailing under the Gabonese flag, as it passed through international waters in the Gulf of Finland en route to the Russian port of Primorsk.

Video footage shows Estonian forces ordering the ship to change course. An AgustaWestland AW139 helicopter, an M28 Skytruck aircraft, and the Estonian Navy patrol boat EML Raju (P6732) approached the vessel at close range.

A Polish Air Force MiG-29 fighter jet reportedly took part in the operation as well.

A Russian Su-35S fighter jet reportedly arrived to support the tanker. The crew ignored Estonian demands, and the interception attempt failed.
