Germany's military shuns Palantir for now, cyber chief tells Handelsblatt

Germany's armed forces do not currently plan to award contracts to Palantir, according to a leading military officer speaking to Handelsblatt. The statement is a modest negative for Palantir's near-term defense sales outlook, but the article provides no details on contract size, timing, or broader procurement changes. Market impact is likely limited unless this signals a wider rejection of the company's software by European defense buyers.
