As the former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and former Commander of the US Strategic Command, General John Hyten, explained, these missiles could...

German Navy ready for multinational command tasks for national and alliance defence On 17 May 2022 between 1 and 3 p.m., there will be a rare opportunity to look over the shoulder of the DEU MARFOR ("German Maritime Forces Staff") command staff in their situation centre to take a closer look at their mission and tasks.
