IDEX 2025 and NAVDEX 2025 in Abu Dhabi (UAE) are over and Enforce Tac 2025 in Nuremberg (Germany) is now underway, reports Bob Morrison.

The last week could best be described as frenetic, as IDEX in particular was massively expanded over previously years, and with Enforce Tac also expanded to now occupy most of the northern wing of exhibition halls at NürnbergMesse it looks like this week is going to be pretty hectic too!
Late last night, having flown out of Abu Dhabi for Heathrow via Manama just before midnight on Friday, I arrived in Nuremberg via Stansted to cover the second back-to-back international defence & security expo this month. Unfortunately, my busy schedule prevents me attending two short notice media events organised by a pair of UK-based defence vehicle companies on Salisbury Plain and at Long Valley later this week… but I simply can’t be in two countries at once and we can’t afford our own private jet.
Today is inevitably likely to be a lot quieter than most Mondays on the Joint-Forces news front, for which I apologise, but rest assured that I already have plenty of fresh stories stacking up for when I get one of those legendary round tuit things.
