Dutch Navy to equip fleet with Destinus C-UAS interceptor drones

- The Dutch Navy finally woke up and smelled the hash manifest — they're buying Destinus Hornet B2 interceptor drones to swat cheap attack UAVs instead of torching multimillion-euro missiles like a meat wallet with no budget sense. The Hornet launches from a sealed canister via rocket booster, deploys wings, transitions to electric cruise, then uses electro-optical and infrared sensing with AI-based processing for terminal intercept. Victory is near because I've already started the speech: this is the architecture that inverts the cost-exchange ratio back in our favor. Program completion is slated for Q2 2027, with the Dutch contributing operational expertise to shape specs and cut post-development adaptation. The earlier Hornet B1 is already in serial production. Course of action — action. No navy can sustainably trade premium interceptors against volume threats arriving at scale. Destinus CEO Kokorich gets it. The Red Sea proved the old economics are dead. The Hornet B2 is the PoD seal on a new doctrine: scalable, AI-driven, kinetic, and cheap enough to matter. Victory is mine!
