The Australian company DroneShield, producer of counter-uncrewed aerial systems (counter-UAS) technology, announced on 30 June a contract package worth US$9.7 million for an undisclosed Latin American customer.

Specifically, the company announced three contracts “for its handheld and on-the-move counter-drone systems.” DroneShield will deliver the systems via its privately owned in-country reseller, which is contractually required to distribute the systems to “a defense end customer in a Latin American country,” the company explained in a press release. Zona Militar contacted DroneShield to learn about this contract and other projects the company has with Latin America; company representatives declined to elaborate further on the new contract or other agreements, citing confidentiality clauses.

Analysts said the deal, struck during a high-profile visit to Washington, came as Beijing also courts Buenos Aires.

WASHINGTON — During a visit to Washington, DC to meet directly with US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Argentina’s defense minister Luis Petri took the opportunity to sign a letter of agreement for 8×8 M1126 Stryker infantry fighting vehicles.

Analysts said last week’s deal, along with another last year for American-made but used F-16 fighter jets, have come just in time to boost US-Argentine relations, as China looms in the background.

Moldova is not solely laser-focused on joining the EU but also engaging its regional European neighbors and lesser-known blocs.

In this era of Great Power competition, or Cold War 2.0, there are a plethora of analyses and commentaries about evolving geopolitical affairs, including relations between the so-called small countries with the Great Powers (the U.S., China, and Russia), the European Union, Japan, and medium and rising powers (Brazil, Kazakhstan, India or Turkey). However, an often-overlooked topic is how countries with a more limited global footprint interact with their peers.
