Drones: Industry & DefenceBackground
Grosswald, styled Großwald, is an English-language website covering European defence procurement, NATO posture and the industry behind European rearmament. It publishes daily briefings, event dispatches, long-form articles and a weekly curated edition.
Its imprint names Veilmark LLC of Albuquerque, New Mexico, as the operating company and says the site is editorially independent of it. Despite the German name and European focus, Grosswald is run from the United States, names no editors and carries no individual bylines on its articles.
Its September 2026 list of EU joint-project envelopes went further than the Council's own release, which gave neither DECODER's participant count nor its budget. Grosswald also put EU-FIAMD, the air and missile defence project, at €55bn to €80bn, more than ten times its figure for DECODER.
