IRIS-T SLMs: Estonia, Latvia mulls acquiring the impregnable German defence system I Oneindia News

Two Baltic NATO members, Estonia and Latvia, are all set to begin negotiations to purchase the medium-range IRIS-T SLM defense system from its German manufacturer very soon. Both countries, which border Russia, have greatly increased their defense budgets since Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February last year. Neither of the nations possess an air force… and both have to heavily rely on NATO to patrol their airspace. Deliveries of the system, manufactured by weapons maker Diehl Defence, could begin next year and possibly become operational in 2025. If the deal goes ahead, it would be the biggest defense cooperation project ever concluded between Tallin and Riga, according to the Estonian Defense Minister. The two nations hope to finalize the contract and make an official announcement by this summer. No details on the number of systems or on the price were revealed, but the Defence Minister have indicated that the purchase would cost hundreds of millions of euros. #Iristdefencesystem#Estonialatvia#GermanIrissystem ~PR.153~GR.125~HT.178~

EU States Approve First-Ever Global Comprehensive Crypto Rules [Video]

EU States Approve First-Ever Global Comprehensive Crypto Rules

EU States Approve First-Ever , Global Comprehensive Crypto Rules. The rules were approved at an EU finance minister meeting on May 16, CNBC reports. Crypto regulation has been at the forefront of discussion since the collapse of FTX. Recent events have confirmed the urgent need for imposing rules which will better protect Europeans who have invested in these assets, and prevent the misuse of crypto industry for the purposes of money laundering and financing of terrorism, Elisabeth Svantesson, finance minister for Sweden, via statement. Now, any firm within the 27-country bloc that wants "to issue, trade and safeguard" cryptocurrency must obtain a license, CNBC reports. The new rules have undoubtedly put pressure on Britain, the U.S. and other countries to approve similar regulations, CNBC reports. Britain has suggested a phased approach beginning with stablecoins and branching out to unbacked crypto assets, but the country hasn't established a timetable. . The U.S. has been using existing securities rules and is still deciding if new rules are needed and who would enforce them. Hester Peirce, a U.S. derivatives regulator commissioner, recently said that federal and state authorities remain uncertain about any oversight role they may offer in the crypto sector.
