Bundeswehr & ILA 2026: Im Tornado & A400M-Cockpit | IRIS-T SLS MK 4 | Skyranger 30 | Eurofighter

ILA 2026 in Berlin – we're taking you along to the International Aerospace Exhibition and showing you what the defense industry is currently delivering. The tour starts in the A400M "70 Years of the Air Force Edition": MedEvac evacuation station, cockpit check, and a loadmaster explains his 15-year career in his position. At MBDA, we see the laser system for small drone defense, the new guided missiles for the MARS system with a range of over 500 km, and a hypersonic glide vehicle in the Mach 8–9 range for strategic deterrence. Diehl Defence presents the world premiere of the IRIS-T SLS MK 4 – mobile all-in-one short-range air defense system on the Zetros, including an exclusive look inside the C2 command cabin. At Rheinmetall, we check out the Skyranger 30 on the Boxer with programmable AHEAD airburst ammunition. Other highlights include the autonomous U145 helicopter from Airbus, the manned world premiere of the D228 NXT with a female test pilot, the Boston Dynamics robot dog, and finally, a journey through time in the Tornado cockpit – 30 years of hardware advancements explained by a maintenance soldier from Büchel. ``` ``````````` CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro – ILA 2026 in Berlin 01:19 A400M “70 Years of the Air Force” – Tour, MedEvac & Cockpit 05:51 Job Profile: Loadmaster – Responsibilities & Career Path 07:34 MBDA – Drone Defense Laser, MARS Deep Strike & Cruise Missiles 14:58 MBDA Hypersonic Glide Vehicle – Strategic Deterrence at Mach 8–9 19:24 Diehl Defence – World Premiere: IRIS-T SLS MK 4 & C2 Command Cabin 24:02 Eurofighter, Engines & Flight Control – Flight Line at the ILA 28:17 Airbus – Autonomous Helicopter U145 31:11 Rheinmetall Skyranger 30 on Boxer – AHEAD Ammunition Explained 34:25 Boston Dynamics Robot Dog & World Premiere: D228 NXT 40:46 Time Travel in Tornado Cockpit – 30 Years of Hardware Advancement 43:28 Outro _____ 🛡️ Contract Check for Soldiers: https://www.soldatenwissen.org/ueber-uns 📸 Instagram:   / soldatenwissen
