Helsing: the military AI redefining European defense ($18.000M)

Helsing raised $1.8 billion—the largest round in European defense tech—and turned down investors. What is this German military AI startup building, and what does it say about Europe?

We analyze its catalog: jamming-resistant drones, autonomous submarines, a pilotless fighter jet for 2027, and an AI copilot for combat aircraft. We also examine Bloomberg’s accusations about reliability in real-world conditions, the comparison with Anduril (valued at $61 billion), and the irresolvable dilemma of who decides when AI makes a recommendation in milliseconds.
