I think that is a report that is sponsored by Thyssen Krupp or by Kraus Maffei (or by both of them) - they want to push their products because the largest arms shop will dominate an integrated commands procurement process.
Why is this report bullshit? Because Europe and Russia are interdependent: Europe stops buying Russian gas - Gazprom and the Russian state by extension are toast; Europe stops buying - everything that is made in Europe will be much more expensive.
With this information everything else is trivial.
Now a non related question: is the no politics period for HN now officially over?

- MichaelMoser123 10y agobefore WWII the powers had conflicting colonial ambitions, now its a post colonial world, so what matters is access to resources (these you can again buy with money, but the fight is over conditions and price). I think there were several transitions that made the world a more civil place: one was the realization that free labor is better than forced /slave labor, the other one that you can do without colonies. (There was also the axial age, but that was along time ago)
