Europe's defence cloud reliance risks US 'kill switch,' think tank warns

A think tank says many European militaries rely on US cloud providers, creating a strategic dependency risk.

Future of Technology Institute found 16 European countries at high risk and 7 at medium risk from this reliance.

The warning is that US sanctions or subpoenas could disrupt access to military cloud systems.

The report frames the issue as a data-sovereignty and defence-readiness problem for Europe.
