You're not gonna win with large punch measures, but no recognition. You can't defeat the enemy if you don't deliver ammunition to your launchers, cannons or tanks in time, and the allies won't always be able to aid you in time. Armies in the planet must so have comprehensive capabilities to face up to the challenges – this is the most crucial trend of Eurosator 2024.

When visiting this year's Eurosatory Fair, it is hard not to announcement that companies presenting their offer have chosen something another than to outrun themselves, who will show more interesting, newer, more innovative solutions. The most visible trend is complexity. The biggest manufacturers, presenting their products, emphasize that the equipment must be supplemented by another tools on the battlefield. The thought is simple: you can't beat an opponent by having excellent impactors, but without recognition. Nor is there a chance, unless ammunition is delivered in time to the launcher, cannons or tanks.

RECLAMA

Drones as an ecosystem

An example of specified comprehensiveness is the drone offer prepared by the WB Group, but this trend is besides seen in another unmanned manufacturers. Firstly, the military should have at its disposal many tools of various kinds, sometimes intended for circumstantial tasks. Drones must so be readily adaptable structures. Secondly, the conclusions of the war in Ukraine show that drones, in order to be effective, should attack simultaneously from all directions and operate in a swarm consisting of unmanned flying ships (BSL) of different classes (sizes) and of varying destiny – from reconnaissance to impact. specified an “ecosystem” is not easy to defend against.

Classics don't age

The second highly visible trend on Eurosator 2024 is an extended scope of classical weapons – tanks, armored transporters, cannonhaubic, helicopters, mortars, rocket launchers.

A decade ago, erstwhile visiting the Paris exhibition, it was possible to get the impression that the French were able to convince the full planet that the main threat to the armies on our globe would be asymmetrical conflicts. That is why each company offered larger and smaller mini-resistance vehicles (MRAPs) at the fair, in which cases more than the combat properties were placed on the safe transport of soldiers from a point to b. "Missive" the Eurosatory period, however, is behind them. At this year's edition of the fair, you can see fresh (or powerfully refreshed) proposals for armored transporters, tanks, cannonhaubic or multi-guided rocket launchers.

First, logistics...

In 1 Eurosatory remained faithful traditions. It was always a organization where logistics and equipment intended for its tasks occupied a very crucial place. This year, therefore, all major European manufacturers of trucks and specialised (e.g. tankers) and engineering vehicles – method support vehicles present their products. There is besides a deficiency of equipment for bomb squads. respective companies offering storm bridges appeared at the fair – both in circular and caterpillar versions, as well as various types of machinery and bomb robots.

... secondly, aerodynamics

The French organizers of Eurosatory show emphasize that their exhibition has been intensively promoting aeromobility in the field of combat since the beginning of its existence. This year, in a specially separated chopper zone, you can see the EC-665 Tigre (Airbus Helicopters), NH-90 Caïman (NH Industries) and the U.S. Army's AH-64 Apache (Boeing), UH-60 Blackhawk (Sikorsky) and CH-47 Chinook (Boeing). The attraction of this region is 2 machines that are only in the improvement phase – the French H160 M Gepard (Airbus Helicopters) and the Italian AW249 Fenice (Leonardo).
