The chief of a leading ammunition group has called for Europe to adopt a "war footing" in response to potential threats, emphasizing the need for the continent to be on a war footing and highlighting how social media competes with arms makers for electricity. This sentiment was echoed in statements advocating for the development of a European missile defense system akin to Israel's Iron Dome. Armin Papperger, the CEO of the German defense conglomerate Rheinmetall, highlighted the urgency of this initiative in an interview with the Financial Times, citing increased fears of Russia's threat to Europe and a push within the EU to overcome existing defense limitations. The call for a European version of Israel's Iron Dome was prominently featured in the Financial Times.
