Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On April 16, 2026, Water IO Ltd., a company traded on the Tel Aviv
Stock Exchange which is majority owned by T3 Defense Inc. through its wholly-owned subsidiary Star 26 Capital Ltd. announced the execution
of a non-binding letter of intent to lend $10,000,000 to Meteor Aerospace Ltd., an Israeli defense technology company specializing in
the development and production of loitering munitions (“suicide drones”), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned ground
vehicles (UGVs), unmanned surface vessels (USVs), and long-range precision-guided missiles.
Pursuant to the terms of the non-binding letter of intent, if the $10,000,000
loan is made by Water IO, Meteor Aerospace will issue Water IO 51% of its outstanding shares on a post-investment basis.
The transaction is subject to, among other conditions, the successful
completion by Water IO of a public offering of convertible notes on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, the satisfaction of due diligence of
Meteor, the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements regarding the investment and stock issuance, and the receipt of all required
regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that the proposed transaction will be consummated.
If the transaction is consummated, there will be no dilutive effect
to T3 Defense Inc.
About Meteor Aerospace
Founded and led by Itzhak Nissan, the former President and CEO
of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), Meteor Aerospace is a privately held Israeli defense company. Mr. Nissan, one of the most prominent
figures in Israel’s defense industrial complex, identified the paradigm shift toward autonomous, unmanned warfare years ago and
has built Meteor into a company at the cutting edge of this transformation.
Meteor’s co-founder and financial backer, Hezi Bezalel,
brings significant capital markets and investment expertise. The company’s COO, Col. (Res.) Beni Cohen, is a former commander
of IAF control units and IAI defense attaché, with deep operational and program management experience including involvement in F-35
component manufacturing at IAI’s Lahav Division.
Meteor operates across five product lines spanning air, land, sea,
and strike domains:
Impact 700/1400 UAVs — MALE-class unmanned
aerial vehicles designed for ISR and tactical missions.
RAMBOW UGV — High-performance unmanned ground
vehicle for autonomous battlefield operations.
1
Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) — Advanced manned/unmanned
vessel with integrated mission suite and remote weapon station.
Precision-Guided Missiles — Long-range homing
attack missiles, robust and operationally proven.
Loitering Munitions (Suicide Drones) — Autonomous
loitering attack systems capable of real-time target acquisition and precision strike.
Four of Meteor’s five product lines have reached commercial maturity,
positioning the company for a rapid transition from development to revenue generation and near-term integration into defense procurement
programs in Israel and globally.

intent, the proposed investment by Water IO in Meteor, the expected completion of the note offering by Water IO on the Tel Aviv Stock
Exchange and the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions
that are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. Factors

obtain required regulatory approvals; general economic and market conditions; and the risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements
