The Royal Thai Air Force has just ordered two Airbus #C295 in tactical transport configuration. Operated by the 46th Wing Division of the Royal Thai Air Force, the delivery of the first aircraft is scheduled for 2029. Thailand already has three C295s operated by the Royal Thai Army performing cargo and troop transport missions since 2016. Read more: ow.ly/q4py50Z36CA

Production of the first #Airbus #C295 Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) for the Spanish Air and Space Force (@EjercitoAire) continues to progress at our Final Assembly Line (FAL) in Seville. The first power on has just been completed, representing a key milestone in the industrial process. The C295 MPA will be equipped to carry out anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare, command and control (C2), and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. It will also be capable of carrying armaments such as torpedoes and other weapon systems.









Ready to take to the skies! ✈️✈️✈️ This is how the first three #Airbus #C295 Maritime Surveillance Aircraft (MSA) for the @EjercitoAire look on our flight line in Seville. After completing all ground and paint tests, the three aircraft are about to fly for the first time. These aircraft will perform vital maritime and overland operations: from anti-smuggling and anti-illegal immigration to anti-drug trafficking missions, as well as serving as a primary asset for national and international search-and-rescue (SAR) operations.






















May we present? This is the Valkyrie. Airbus is working at full throttle to offer the German Air Force an operational Uncrewed Collaborative Combat Aircraft (UCCA) system by 2029. In Manching, near Munich, the company is currently preparing the first two Valkyries it acquired from its US partner Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. with a sovereign European mission system, the Multiplatform Autonomous Reconfigurable and Secure (MARS) system, for their maiden flight. MARS also contains an AI-supported software brain called MindShare which not only replaces the missing pilot, but is also capable of coordinating entire mission groups by being distributed across many manned and uncrewed platforms. They are scheduled to fly later this year. Read more: airbus.com/en/newsroom/pr…
