Counter-Drone Shift: Eurosatory coverage highlights CUAS moving from event-only setups to permanent, layered systems combining radar, RF detection, electro-optical sensors and command-and-control. German Tourism Capacity: German inbound agencies warn of a 25–30% drop in tourists due to missing flight capacity after an airline partnership ended. EU Trade Costs: A new EU tariff will add €3 per item for Shein/Temu orders up to €150, changing the economics of small-parcel imports.
