   Germany drops direct MQ-28 purchase, reopening its CCA wingman competition

   Germany's defence ministry has formally told Boeing it will no longer buy the MQ-28 Ghost Bat uncrewed wingman directly and is revising its Collaborative Combat Aircraft procurement plan. A Boeing spokesperson confirmed to Breaking Defense that it received the notice but did not give a reason, while the defence ministry declined to comment, citing procurement law and the requirement that the matter first go to parliament. Politico reported that Berlin will begin flight tests in 2027 and reach an operational capability in the early 2030s, putting the original 2029 deployment target in doubt, though the ministry has not publicly confirmed any schedule change. Potential competitors include Helsing's CA-1 Europa, the Airbus-Kratos U740 Valkyrie and GA-ASI's Gambit line.

   Japan tightens cyber warnings after data leaks hit millions of customers

   Japan's National Cybersecurity Office has told ministries, local authorities and companies to strengthen cyber defences, including updating security software, using strong passwords and tightening supply-chain security. More than 20 major Japanese companies have disclosed attacks in recent weeks: an attack on car-sharing service Times Car leaked data from about 6.6 million member accounts including driving-licence images, rail operator JR East lost 1.67 million customer email addresses, and Lawson, Daiwa Securities and Bookoff also reported customer data leaks. Digital Transformation Minister Toshiharu Furukawa said the attacks are getting increasingly sophisticated, and the ruling LDP's cybersecurity strategy chief Masaaki Taira called it a "state of emergency in cyber space"; police logged a record 123 ransomware incidents in the first half of 2026.
