Aggelos Chorianopoulos stated that the American defense startup Shield AI signed a co-development and partial co-production agreement with GEK TERNA in Greece for the unmanned X-BAT, which uses the Hivemind artificial intelligence software. He presented the agreement as a significant defense project which, he said, was linked to Marco Rubio's departure from Greece. According to him, the X-BAT is designed as a "loyal wingman" for the F-35s and will be capable of carrying AGM-154 JSOW and AGM-158C LRASM anti-ship missiles. He added that Hivemind enables autonomous targeting within enemy A2/AD zones and noted that the V-BAT can already operate in such areas. Chorianopoulos argued that the agreement includes Greece in a new American defense architecture, with a central role for artificial intelligence, machine learning, domestic data centers, and co-productions with foreign companies. He also mentioned that Shield AI was already collaborating with the Greek EFA GROUP on software matters, although more details are not known. He stated that he had proposed the V-BAT, the FPV of Resilience Tech, the X-BAT, and the Switchblade two years before their acquisition, while estimating that the same would happen with the Corsair. He described the vote of confidence in the Greek defense industry and the tax policy for businesses as unprecedented. He attributed GEK TERNA's selection to its industrial capacity, facilities, and international presence, while asserting that American companies do not choose partners based on personal relationships with politicians. #ΑμυντικήΣυνεργασία #ΤεχνητήΝοημοσύνη #Ελλάδα (translated)

With the "Switchblade 600" drones, the Lithuanian military gains a new strike capability. Soldiers can quickly and very precisely destroy enemy armored vehicles from a safe distance. Each such acquisition strengthens enemy deterrence and Lithuania's security. At the same time, this is yet another clear proof of Lithuania's partnership with the USA, says Minister of National Defence Robertas Kaunas. #dronai #LietuvosKariuomenė #ginkluotė (translated)

I played a bit of The Witcher and it's still the same game, just prettier :D I don't see any great leap, the skill tree seems more sensible as character development, the graphics look beautiful, but the combat hasn’t changed much, which is a shame. Still, it's nice to be back with Geralt on the trail and I'm glad this version was released, I'm considering buying it on Switch... #Wiedźmin #gry #gaming (translated)

Pfizer-DNA gevonden in harttumor van jonge man na vaccinatie: 'Dit is de smoking gun' https://t.co/pmwu33zLr0 Even snel gescreend. Belangwekkend artikel. Dit is voor mij echter de crux van het verhaal, omdat ik dit al heel lang vermoed. En ik zeg het heel voorzichtig - dit zou ook de oorzaak kunnen zijn voor de waarneming van velen over de zogenaamde 'turbo-kankers'. Strikt genomen betekent het aantonen van plasmide DNA in een tumor nog niet dat dit ook de oorzaak is van het ontstaan van de tumor. Ik denk dat de relatie tussen vaccinatie met een #mRNAvaccin en het ontstaan cq progressie van een tumor veel complexer is. En dat vatten @NicHulscher et al. heel mooi samen: "The more parsimonious interpretation of this discrepancy is therefore not that mRNA vaccination initiated this malignancy de novo, but that a small, occult and clinically silent sarcoma was already present at the time of vaccination and that its growth and metastatic behavior were then drastically accelerated." "A lesion of that size may have been undetectable by any available means, and might have remained indolent, been contained by immune surveillance, or never become clinically manifest." "This is the phenotype the concurrent-hit model predicts: not a uniform excess of new cancers, but accelerated progression and metastatic outgrowth in susceptible hosts, including those carrying dormant micrometastases or occult residual disease." On this account the relevant mechanisms are those of tumor promotion rather than initiation: sustained inflammation, impaired immune surveillance, immune tolerance associated with IgG4 class switching, and the structural genomic instability documented in tissue following mRNA vaccination. "This framework accords with the population-level data, in which excess cancer risk was detectable within a single year of vaccination — an interval far too short for the initiation of most solid tumors, but fully compatible with the acceleration of pre-existing subclinical disease — and it is the mechanism proposed for the rapid post-vaccination malignancies catalogued elsewhere." De mRNA-vaccins: the gift that keeps on giving. #vaccinatie #gezondheid #kanker
