US defence startup Covenant plans to begin mass production of low-cost cruise missiles in Germany in early 2027, aiming to supply European countries seeking to expand long-range arsenals amid concerns about Russia. The production facility in Saxony will mostly use European-sourced parts to minimize US reliance, targeting 5,000 missiles annually by 2028.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Defense Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your chance in European defence is expanding as US-backed missile production moves to Germany with European parts. Get ready to serve a market turning away from American supply chains and growing long-range missile demand.
