Israel’s Space Industry: From Strategic Necessity to Commercial Opportunity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The US government has recently disclosed in much fanfare that it has weaponized space! I didn’t understand what the big deal was. Space has been weaponized since day one, when the Soviet Union launched its first satellite, Sputnik, and played it up as a great victory over the “Capitalist Pigs” in an ideological war of the time.Since then, space has been used for reconnaissance, communications, and other military uses. Nevertheless, I thought this was a good opportunity to talk about the Israeli
Saudi Arabia’s Reality Check (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In several previous articles, I’ve gone over one Middle Eastern country after another, analyzing its position and standing in the Middle East.

My aim in going to these conferences is to get a sense of where the Israeli high-tech sector is heading. Where do we stand? What are the challenges? What are the devs working on?More than attending the lectures, which are interesting to me as a software developer, I want to talk to actual SW developers and hear their voices.
Building the Shield (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I recently wrote about the state of the Israeli economy and briefly touched upon the military-industrial complex. It is growing rapidly in both the solutions it provides and in production scale.On August 31, 2026, Israel and Greece signed the $3.5B Achilles Shield agreement, covering a multilayered national air-defense network. The package includes David’s Sling, SPYDER, BARAK MX, radars, command-and-control systems and Iron Dome.With this deal in mind and a possible new sale to Finland, I think
