T3 Defense ( (DFNS) ) has shared an update.
On April 16, 2026, Water IO Ltd., majority-owned by T3 Defense Inc., signed a non-binding letter of intent to provide a $10 million loan to Israeli defense firm Meteor Aerospace Ltd., which develops loitering munitions, UAVs, UGVs, USVs, and precision-guided missiles. If the transaction is completed after a successful convertible-notes offering, due diligence, and regulatory approvals, Water IO would receive 51% of Meteor’s shares on a post-investment basis without diluting T3 Defense’s ownership, positioning the group to gain control of a commercially mature defense platform poised for wider integration into Israeli and global procurement programs.
Meteor Aerospace, founded by former Israel Aerospace Industries CEO Itzhak Nissan and backed by investor Hezi Bezalel, operates across five unmanned and strike product lines, four of which are already commercially mature and ready for near-term revenue generation, potentially enhancing T3 Defense’s indirect footprint in autonomous and unmanned warfare systems if the deal closes.
