Starlink slowdown makes Ukraine’s Shahed-hunting drone maker rethink air-launched interceptors

21 October 2026 at 12:36

STING S interceptor

Ukrainian drone maker Wild Hornets is rethinking projects it is currently working on, including launching interceptors from aerial platforms, because of limits on SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet. Spokesman Mike Orliuk told The War Zone (TWZ) this on 20 October. The company builds Sting interceptors, which it says destroyed over 15,000 Shaheds and Gerberas, a cheaper Shahed lookalike, in a year. Orliuk said Sting’s current operations are unaffected.

The stakes rise as Russia shifts to faster drones. Ukrainian defense technology adviser Serhii Beskrestnov counted more than 2,500 jet-powered Gerans, Russia’s version of the Shahed, in August. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on 16 October that these drones fly faster than 400 km/h. He added that some Ukrainian interceptors chasing them work through Starlink. When the link was slowed, Ukraine could not intercept some of them, he said.

How Sting stays connected

“Our own communications system provides the basic connection to our interceptors,” Orliuk said. The company’s remote-control technology can draw on various internet sources, he added, though the military often uses Starlink. Even then, the terminal does not need to move at high speed. It only links the command center to a ground station, which Orliuk compared to a cell tower.

“For these needs, everything is operating normally with Starlink at the moment,” he said.

An air-launch project under review

“Some drones carry a terminal on board and need to fly at high speed with it,” Orliuk said. “In such cases, Starlink’s limitations make their operation impossible.”

That is why the company is rethinking the air-launch project. Wild Hornets has made no clear decision yet but will test alternatives, Orliuk said. He declined to describe them.

“I believe, in any case, depending on a single solution is very risky,” he said.

Other firms share the concern

Orliuk said he has spoken with other companies that rely far more on Starlink and have expressed concerns. He pointed to growing interest in Europe’s Eutelsat network, though “creating something like Starlink won’t be easy.”

Who ordered the slowdown remains unclear. The order to slow Ukraine’s Starshield service came from inside the White House, two US officials and a Western official said. A US official told TWZ the president never made such a request. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on 17 October that the slowdown had “nothing to do with the White House” and called “a report on that” “categorically false,” without saying which report he meant.

Ukraine finally voted to tax cheap foreign parcels to unlock €3.7 billion—now Brussels decides whether it was enough, with a €70 billion gap ahead amid ongoing war

20 October 2026 at 12:05

ukraine finally taxed cheap foreign parcels unlock €37 billion—now brussels decides whether enough €70 billion gap ahead amid ongoing war · post european commission spokesperson balázs ujvári speaks commission’s midday

The European Commission is checking whether laws Ukraine’s parliament passed last week earn it a €3.7 billion ($4.3 billion) EU payment, spokesperson Balázs Ujvári told reporters in Brussels on 19 October. He also said Ukraine’s 2027 funding gap stands at about €70 billion, and that the EU “cannot do this all alone.” How Ukraine pays for Russia’s war next year now depends on reforms in Kyiv and on money from Europe and beyond.

Russia keeps striking Ukraine’s power grid and cities, and Kyiv already faces a hole in next year’s war budget before any new military spending. Foreign money keeps salaries, pensions, and repairs flowing while Ukraine spends its own revenue on defense. So each delayed payment is felt at home while Russia hits the energy system again.

Brussels reads Kyiv’s new laws before paying

The payment is the second tranche of the EU’s macro-financial assistance to Ukraine, and each one depends on reforms, Ujvári said at the Commission’s midday briefing.

“We saw that last week some important laws were adopted in the Rada, and we are in the process of analyzing these laws and we will formulate our assessment thereafter,” he said.

On its third attempt, parliament passed a law on 15 October ending the VAT exemption for foreign parcels worth up to €150 from 1 July 2027, and making online marketplaces collect the tax. The Commission had warned the law was one of 12 conditions for the tranche. Fewer than 1% of the 75 million parcels Ukrainians receive each year were taxed, and lawmakers had rejected the measure twice despite IMF pressure.

About €30 billion is in the pipeline for Ukraine this year, mostly under the EU’s €90 billion support loan, if reforms continue, Ujvári said.

A €70 billion gap for 2027

Current pledges leave a gap of about €70 billion for 2027, Ujvári said, even counting the €45 billion ($52 billion) the EU has set aside for next year and some partners’ commitments.

“We cannot do this all alone. Therefore, our partners in general must step up,” he said. “They have to come forward with pledges, and they have to deliver on those commitments.”

On 16 October, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked EU leaders for at least €70 billion more for 2027. They tasked the Commission with a proposal but set no deadline. Asked whether it would revisit using frozen Russian assets, Ujvári said it was “a little bit early” to discuss options in that detail. New EU borrowing has also grown costlier: 10-year rates rose from 3.2% to just above 4% in six months, he said.

The €90 billion loan was designed on the assumption that the war would end in 2026. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said Slovakia and Hungary would opt out of new aid but would not block others.

Andouille de Guémené : six pays européens ont obtenu une dérogation, la France n'a jamais voulu la demander

16 October 2026 at 08:30

Trois artisans du Morbihan paient 5 000 euros d’analyses pour prouver qu’ils respectent un seuil dont on a changé la méthode de mesure. Six États membres ont demandé et obtenu la dérogation prévue par le texte européen. Paris a refusé de la solliciter, au nom de l’égalité de traitement des fabricants.

À Guémené-sur-Scorff, dans le Morbihan, il ne reste que trois producteurs artisanaux de cette spécialité fumée au bois de hêtre. Leur savoir-faire, attesté depuis au moins le XVIIIe siècle, pourrait-il être fragilisé par une méthode de contrôle devenue plus contraignante ? L’affaire mérite mieux qu’une réponse servie froide au nom de la réglementation.

Une peau de boyau suffit à faire flamber les résultats

L’andouille de Guémené est fabriquée à partir de chaudins de porc fumés, puis séchés pendant deux à trois semaines. Le fumage dépose sur la peau des hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques (HAP), des substances issues notamment de la combustion, dont certaines présentent des risques sanitaires. Le benzo[a]pyrène, l’un des HAP surveillés, est notamment classé génotoxique : il peut endommager le matériel génétique des cellules.

Communiqué de presse | Andouilles de Guémené - Rappel des faits 14 octobre 2026 L’andouille est l’un des plus anciens savoir-faire charcutiers de Fra

La réglementation européenne, durcie en 2011 et applicable depuis le 1er septembre 2014, fixe pour les viandes fumées des plafonds de 12 microgrammes par kilogramme pour la somme de quatre HAP et de 2 microgrammes par kilogramme pour le benzo[a]pyrène. Un régime dérogatoire destiné à certains produits traditionnels permet respectivement 30 et 5 microgrammes par kilogramme.

L’Irlande, la Pologne, l’Espagne, le Portugal, la Croatie et Chypre en bénéficient. Pas la France, qui n’a jamais sollicité ce dispositif. Selon les producteurs, la méthode d’analyse a également changé : jusqu’en 2016, les contrôles s’effectuaient sans la peau ; depuis, celle-ci est intégrée lorsque le boyau est considéré comme comestible. Aucune instruction administrative publiée n’est toutefois citée pour documenter ce changement.

Benoît Rivalan, de la Maison Rivalan-Quidu et président de la Maison de l’andouille, rapporte des résultats d’environ 150 µg/kg peau comprise, contre 10 à 15 µg/kg lorsqu’une gaine textile est utilisée avant fumage. Ces chiffres sont ceux du producteur, et non ceux d’une série d’analyses publiques. Il affirme avoir dépensé environ 5 000 euros en analyses sur un seul mois.

Pendant que Bruxelles fixe les seuils, les artisans paient l’addition

Début septembre 2026, la Maison de l’andouille a temporairement suspendu ses ventes. Une pétition a recueilli près de 20 000 signatures. Le député du Morbihan Jean-Michel Jacques réclame des seuils dérogatoires adaptés aux fabrications traditionnelles ou le retour à l’ancien protocole, accompagné d’une mention sur l’emballage déconseillant la consommation de la peau.

Trois groupes politiques ont porté un vœu examiné au Conseil régional de Bretagne le 15 octobre. La veille, la préfecture du Morbihan annonçait qu’une solution était « en passe d’être finalisée ». Dès le lendemain, la question gagnait la Normandie, où l’andouille de Vire est également concernée. Ni la DGAL, ni la direction départementale du Morbihan, ni la Commission européenne ne sont citées dans les sources disponibles comme ayant répondu aux interrogations soulevées. L’andouille de Guémené ne bénéficie par ailleurs ni d’une AOP ni d’une IGP : sa protection ne repose donc pas sur ces labels européens.

TAP e Lufthansa abrem uma oportunidade para o Algarve que o Governo tem de concretizar

15 October 2026 at 17:16

CDS-PP Algarve saúda a escolha da Lufthansa, defende a recuperação do investimento público e exige uma estratégia de reforço das ligações aéreas a Faro

A Comissão Política Distrital de Faro do CDS-Partido Popular, em comunicado que se transcreve, «saúda a decisão do Governo da Aliança Democrática de selecionar o Grupo Lufthansa como parceiro estratégico da TAP, considerando que esta operação abre uma nova oportunidade para a aviação portuguesa, para a recuperação dos recursos públicos investidos na companhia e para o reforço da conectividade internacional do Algarve.

A decisão aprovada em Conselho de Ministros representa um passo importante na reprivatização da TAP e na procura de uma solução que permita à companhia crescer, ganhar competitividade e integrar um dos grandes grupos europeus de aviação. Em 2023, o Governo de António Costa definiu como objetivo alienar pelo menos 51% do capital da TAP, tendo admitido a possibilidade de privatizar a totalidade da companhia.

A opção agora seguida pelo Governo de Luís Montenegro prevê a venda de 44,9% à Lufthansa, acrescida de até 5% reservados aos trabalhadores, mantendo o Estado uma participação maioritária de 50,1% nesta primeira fase. A proposta selecionada representa um encaixe global de até 1.201 milhões de euros e foi considerada financeiramente superior à da Air France-KLM, com uma vantagem de 16%. A operação prevê ainda a possibilidade de uma segunda fase de privatização, que poderá permitir ao Estado recuperar uma parte substancial do investimento realizado.

Para o CDS-PP, a questão central é clara. O dinheiro dos contribuintes que foi necessário mobilizar para salvar a TAP deve ser recuperado tanto quanto possível, através da alienação de capital, da valorização da participação remanescente e dos resultados futuros da companhia. A concretização desse objetivo dependerá, naturalmente, da evolução financeira e das condições da operação.

A TAP registou um prejuízo líquido de 99,2 milhões de euros no primeiro semestre de 2026, apesar do crescimento das receitas e do número de passageiros. Este resultado demonstra que a dimensão da companhia e a procura pelos seus serviços não dispensam uma gestão rigorosa dos custos, uma estratégia comercial consistente e uma estrutura financeira sustentável. A experiência europeia mostra que é possível superar crises profundas e reduzir a exposição dos contribuintes. A Lufthansa reembolsou antecipadamente os empréstimos e depósitos estatais utilizados durante a pandemia, tendo o Estado alemão concluído posteriormente a venda da sua participação.

Também a KLM reembolsou os empréstimos que efetivamente utilizou ao abrigo do pacote de apoio disponibilizado pelos Países Baixos. Estes exemplos não são diretamente comparáveis com o caso português, mas demonstram a importância de criar condições para que as companhias aéreas recuperem a sua autonomia financeira e deixem de depender do apoio público.

A Distrital de Faro do CDS-PP reconhece o trabalho desenvolvido pelo Ministro das Infraestruturas e Habitação, Miguel Pinto Luz, na condução deste processo, que exigiu capacidade negocial, avaliação das propostas e definição de condições para o futuro da companhia. Tendo sido cabeça de lista da Aliança Democrática pelo círculo eleitoral de Faro nas legislativas de 2024, Miguel Pinto Luz conhece as necessidades e as aspirações do Algarve. É, por isso, particularmente importante que esta decisão nacional se traduza também em oportunidades concretas para a região.

O CDS-PP orgulha-se de integrar a Aliança Democrática, sob a liderança do Primeiro-Ministro Luís Montenegro, e de contribuir para uma governação assente na responsabilidade financeira, na iniciativa privada e na defesa do interesse nacional. A privatização parcial da TAP não significa abdicar do interesse público. Significa procurar uma solução que permita conciliar a sustentabilidade económica da companhia com a preservação da sua identidade portuguesa, da sua função estratégica e da capacidade de servir o país.

Faro tem de conquistar um lugar na estratégia da Lufthansa. Para o Algarve, esta decisão abre perspetivas relevantes, mas não garante automaticamente novas rotas ou mais voos para Faro. O Grupo Lufthansa integra companhias com uma extensa rede internacional e importantes plataformas aeroportuárias, nomeadamente em Frankfurt, Munique, Zurique e Viena. A articulação comercial entre a TAP e as companhias do grupo poderá criar novas oportunidades de ligação entre Faro e mercados emissores de elevado interesse para a região. O mercado alemão, em particular, apresenta potencial para o desenvolvimento do turismo de natureza, do golfe, da cultura, da gastronomia, da saúde e do bem-estar, bem como para o aumento das estadias fora da época alta.

Contudo, as oportunidades só se transformarão em benefícios reais se forem acompanhadas por decisões comerciais, novas rotas, frequências adequadas e uma estratégia de captação de procura durante todo o ano. O CDS-PP Algarve defende, por isso, que o Governo promova um diálogo estruturado com a Lufthansa, a ANA Aeroportos, o Turismo do Algarve, os municípios e os agentes económicos regionais, com o objetivo de identificar oportunidades de expansão da conectividade aérea e definir prioridades concretas para o Aeroporto Gago Coutinho, em Faro.

O Algarve não precisa apenas de receber mais turistas. Precisa de criar melhores condições para que o turismo produza prosperidade duradoura, empregos mais qualificados e maior valor acrescentado para a economia regional. O reforço das ligações internacionais poderá beneficiar a hotelaria, a restauração, o comércio, as empresas de animação turística, os operadores de golfe e os produtores regionais. Poderá também contribuir para reduzir a sazonalidade e distribuir melhor os benefícios do turismo pelo Barrocal e pelo interior serrano. Uma oportunidade que exige resultados até porque a economia social de mercado, um dos princípios fundamentais da Democracia Cristã, assenta na articulação entre liberdade económica, responsabilidade pública, justiça social e promoção do bem comum.

O Estado deve assim definir objetivos estratégicos, proteger o interesse coletivo e garantir condições de concorrência, sem substituir permanentemente a iniciativa empresarial. Uma TAP financeiramente sustentável, competitiva e integrada num grande grupo europeu poderá dispor de melhores condições para investir, crescer e reforçar a sua posição internacional. Importa, contudo, acompanhar o cumprimento dos compromissos assumidos, salvaguardar os trabalhadores, preservar a identidade portuguesa da companhia e garantir que as oportunidades criadas pela operação se traduzem em benefícios para o conjunto do país. Para o Algarve, o desafio é particularmente claro. A região não pode ficar à margem desta nova etapa da aviação portuguesa, nem se limitar a aguardar que os benefícios cheguem por iniciativa do mercado.

A Distrital de Faro do CDS-PP saúda a decisão do Governo da Aliança Democrática e o trabalho desenvolvido pelo Ministro Miguel Pinto Luz, defendendo que esta oportunidade seja acompanhada por uma estratégia efetiva de reforço das ligações internacionais a Faro. A oportunidade existe. Importa agora transformá-la em investimento, conectividade e melhores condições de desenvolvimento para o Algarve. A TAP deve ganhar sustentabilidade financeira. Os contribuintes devem recuperar, tanto quanto possível, o dinheiro investido. E Faro deve conquistar um lugar mais relevante na aviação europeia. É essa a exigência que o CDS-PP Algarve coloca ao Governo e aos parceiros envolvidos nesta nova etapa.

Gasolio: meglio un cap europeo*

27 August 2026 at 13:36

Il governo ha prorogato fino al 5 settembre lo sconto sul gasolio, spendendo altri 105,6 milioni. Ma il taglio fiscale non si trasferisce automaticamente alla pompa. Un’imposta sugli extraprofitti può finanziare gli aiuti, non correggere il prezzo: più coerente studiare in sede europea un tetto dinamico agli spread eccezionali, con salvaguardie per le importazioni.

Vital Update (7 Videos) – Biblical OPHANIM Theory (A. Paulina Luna) on UFO X-FILES Declassified by Pentagon. WHO ARE ALIENS? ET, Angels or Devils? Orthodox Priests View

In the cover image the US congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, an original image of an UFO inside the Pentagon-released video and a depiction of an Ophanim

by Carlo Domenico Cristofori

VERSIONE IN ITALIANO

UPDATE ON JULY, 11, 2026

Another alleged UFO like Ophanim-Angels in the new Batch of Pentagon Declassified Documents

The Pentagon showed videos of “UFOs” — they were published in a new batch of declassified documents.

The first shows a six-pointed star that was seen in the Indo-Pacific region in 2025. Judging by the footage, she was moving smoothly.

This is very similar to a previous UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon) posted below that supported the “Ophanim theory” which clamis that these apparitions of aliens are a kind of epiphanies of biblical angels (read details below in this investigation)

In the second footage in the above video we can see a strange “transformer” with a height of 3.6 to 4.5 meters was filmed over the Atlantic Ocean in 2020. The footage shows a figure with a powerful jetpack.


ARTICLE POSTED  ON MAY, 25, 2026

The Pentagon has released the first batch of UFO materials promised by Trump

The US Department of War has launched a dedicated portal that makes previously classified US government documents, photographs, and videos, as well as eyewitness accounts of unidentified anomalous phenomena, publicly available.

This is the first major wave of declassification under the presidential PURSUE program.

As is known, Trump previously personally ordered a campaign to declassify such materials as much as possible. The publication of classified documents is expected to continue on a regular basis. The portal notes that the published materials represent “unresolved cases whose nature the US government is not yet in a position to definitively determine. “

A total of 162 documents have already been published, as the video below…

«The Pentagon clarified that this data does not confirm the existence of an extraterrestrial civilization, and that people “will be able to draw their own conclusions” regarding the recorded anomalous phenomena» Maxim Svetlyshev wrote on TopWar and News-Pravda

Among other things, the website published, for example, the operator’s testimony. drone, which in September 2023 reported spotting an unidentified object in the sky emitting a very bright light, and other similar materials. According to Congressman Tim Burchett, the UFO materials already released by the Pentagon represent only a small portion of the overall data set—the most “astonishing part” is yet to come.

Biblical Angel in UFO Files? Video of ‘8-Pointed Star inspires “Ophanim’ Theories” by Ana Paulina Luna

A newly declassified Pentagon UFO video is fueling massive online speculation after appearing to show a mysterious “eight-pointed star” object floating across the sky.

The infrared footage, captured by US Central Command personnel in 2013, was released as part of the Trump administration’s major UFO disclosure push through the WAR.GOV database.

Shortly after the footage went public, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna posted a cryptic image of “OPHANIM,” referencing angelic beings described in ancient religious texts and the Dead Sea Scrolls.

During a House Oversight Committee hearing on Tuesday, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) asked UAP (unidentified anomalous phenomena) whistleblowers if a video showing an “orb” purportedly being struck by a hellfire missile scare them.

Biblical Ophanim Theory: from Ezekiel to Contemporary Interpretation on UFO

The bizarre connection has sparked intense debate online over whether the object could represent advanced technology, extraterrestrial life, or something even stranger (here and below AI info support).

Ezekiel Vision (Raphael – Oil on panel 1517-1518, Pitti Palace – Florence – Italy) on Merkaba aka Chariot mysticism

Ophanim (Hebrew for “wheels”) are celestial beings in Judeo-Christian theology described in Ezekiel’s vision (Ezekiel 1:15-21) as “wheels within wheels” covered in eyes, symbolizing God’s omnipresence, vigilance, and divine mobility.

They are part of the highest angelic hierarchy, often identified as the “Thrones” or “many-eyed ones,” functioning as guardians of the divine throne.

They appear in the Old Testament as shiny, beryl-like wheels that move in any direction without turning, synchronized with cherubim.

The Angels of Thrones depicted with Eye inside the Wheels

The numerous eyes represent omniscience and constant alertness, while their wheel-like form suggests active, moving governance of the universe by God.

They are commonly ranked as the third highest order of angels, specifically associated with the “Thrones”.

In the context of “Biblically Accurate Angels,” they are frequently depicted in popular media and art as complex, non-humanoid entities, contrasting heavily with human-like angelic depictions.

Engraved illustration of the “chariot vision” of the Biblical book of Ezekiel, chapter 1, made by Matthaeus (Matthäus) Merian (1593-1650), for his “Icones Biblicae” (a.k.a. “Iconum Biblicarum”).

Recently, some theories have linked the description of the Ophanim (and their depiction in the Dead Sea Scrolls) to accounts of UFOs or advanced, alien technology, due to their strange, glowing, and mobile nature.

Metropolitan Hilarion: “Aliens live in different realms and occasionally appear to humans as angels”

«According to Metropolitan Hilarion, aliens live in different realms and occasionally appear to humans as angels; it is useless to look for them on other worlds. The Russian Church previously rejected the idea of extraterrestrial civilizations» Mataeo Smith wrote on Express.US.

“If civilizations really existed on other planets, our Holy Scripture, the Bible, would definitely say something about that. If it doesn’t say anything about it, we assume that they don’t exist,” the Moscow Patriarchate Metropolitan Hilarion’s external church relations department stated.

He cited Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future, a book written by Hieromonk Seraphim Rose, a well-known theologian of the Russian Church Abroad, to further his argument. Testimonies of persons who have seen aliens and UFOs are included in the book; the author compares these accounts to demon appearances, which “exist in abundance in hagiographic literature.”

“He proves in his book that people who have allegedly seen aliens really saw demons, whose existence many people now refuse to believe in,” Metropolitan Hilarion said.

The church believes in angels and demons “not because this is stated somewhere, but because it is confirmed by the centuries-old experience of church people,” he said.

Are Aliens Actually the Devilish Fallen Angels? A VIDEO Explaining Why It’s Very Likely…

We’ve been saying this for years these aren’t extraterrestrial beings from another planet, but created beings that are of this realm.

It’s the most scientific approach to understand these as demons and angels.

Vance recently proposed that it made sense to him that we are talking about angels and demons, not aliens from another planet.

Other guy recounts a government researcher who got pushback from higher-ups. Brass understood these not as aliens, but demons.

This may be the real disclosure but… read much more below!

The Physicist and Astronomer who explained that angels are entities that have existed for all of eternity as God’s messenger

«Some researchers claim that the Bible provides unmistakable proof that they have been present on our planet since the beginning of time. Scientists have been searching the universe for extraterrestrial life for decades» Mataeo Smith pointed out on Express.US.

Dr. Hugh Ross, a physicist and astronomer, presented a compelling argument in 2023 that angels are entities that have existed for all of eternity as God’s messengers and that they function similarly to other entities that are not limited to our “space-time dimensions.”

EUCHARIST AND PENTECOST: Supernatural Gifts of the LAST SUPPER and EASTER. The Revelations of the Gospels of the Apostles John and Matthew

Ross wrote in Salvo magazine, “According to the Bible, these creatures differ from humans in that they are not constrained by either the known laws of physics or the known space-time dimensions. Rather, they exist in a realm distinct from the universe, yet have been granted power to enter the human realm for brief episodes — either in physical or nonphysical form.“

According to the Bible, angels are God’s messengers and, if you will, ground troops who conduct God’s work. There are three categories: Seraphim, Cherubim, and “Living Creatures.”
