Unprecedented Agreement Includes EA-37B Electronic Warfare Aircraft from L3Harris with Electromagnetic Attack Technology and Reinforces US Strategic Presence in Europe

Italy has signed a contract worth US$ 300 million with the United States for the acquisition of two electronic warfare aircraft. The negotiation, conducted with the American company L3Harris Technologies, represents the first international export of the EA-37B model, recently approved by the US government.

The jets will be used by the Italian Air Force and feature systems capable of neutralizing enemy communications, radars, and navigation at long distances. The agreement marks a significant advancement in Italian military modernization and operational integration with NATO allies.

Strategic Partnership Reinforces NATO and Expands US Influence

According to Jason Lambert, president of the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance division at L3Harris, the initiative reinforces interoperability between the United States and Italy, expanding the joint response capability to global threats. The operation also solidifies the company’s positioning as a reference in multi-mission aircraft.

L3Harris has over 70 years of experience in modifying commercial aircraft for military use, with more than 125 different models already adapted. In addition to Italy, the company provides similar solutions to countries such as Japan, Australia, Canada, and South Korea—all strategic allies of the US.

Electronic Warfare Aircraft and Expanding Technological Dominance

With the acquisition of the EA-37B, Italy joins the group of countries with advanced technology in aerial electronic warfare, a sector increasingly decisive in contemporary conflicts. By authorizing the export of the model for the first time, the US also demonstrates confidence in the alliance with the Italian government and expands its sphere of influence in Europe.

The contract strengthens NATO’s presence in sensitive regions around the globe and anticipates a new phase in the military technological race, where electronic warfare aircraft play a central role in controlling airspace and information.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Secret chamber sealed 4,500 years ago found in the Pyramid of Khufu, and Hawass announces its opening to the world in 2026

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

China has begun the second phase of energy assistance to Cuba with a 120 MW solar generation plan, and the first result is a photovoltaic park with batteries that regulates voltage, controls frequency, and provides local autonomy to an island suffocated by chronic blackouts.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

Ford CEO disassembles BYD electric car, is impressed with the speed of the Chinese, and admits that the problem is no longer just the low price.

New equipment for vehicles promises to revolutionize driver safety on Brazilian roads with groundbreaking intelligent anti-sleep seat technology.

Four sisters and their mother moved back in together and gained a house where each perforated brick on the facade filters the sun, the wind, and the street’s gaze: the Vietnamese project Nhà Bè is architecture that breathes through the walls.

Brick is a thing of the past: they created a ‘PET House’ made with 612,000 recycled plastic bottles, capable of withstanding winds of up to 524 km/h, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and quick assembly in a few days.

What was decided at the summit between Trump and Xi Jinping in Beijing? According to Chinese diplomacy, the two countries decided to maintain “all” existing trade agreements, create trade and investment councils, and Xi will visit the United States in the fall.
