Defence21

Defence21 is a defence industry news website and magazine that publishes in English and Arabic.

It covers land, naval and aerospace systems. It also reports on unmanned systems, missile systems, weapon systems, homeland security, training and simulation, information warfare, electronic warfare, military communications and sensing systems. Articles on tactics and markets sit alongside the equipment news.

News is sorted into regional and international stories, new and upgraded technologies, new deals and new executives. A reports area adds press interviews, strategic analysis, defence reports and special profiles. A section for shows and exhibitions follows major events. Recent stories cover shows such as ADEX 2026 and SOFEX 2026 in Aqaba, with exhibitor announcements from defence makers.

Aviation and air power appear often. Stories include Embraer's supplier advisory council, a military transport aircraft demand piece, a new home for an uncrewed combat aircraft and a cooperation between Gogo and Insitu on links for Group 3 drones. Other stories cover land vehicles, ship deals, submarine technology and a European project for unmanned ground systems.

The Arabic edition carries translated and original reporting. Its topics include command and control at sea, the link between defence and security, and anti-ship attacks in the Red Sea. This gives the title a strong view of Middle East and North African markets, alongside international news.

Companies can reach its readers through a media kit and through editorial advertising and special invitation options.
