Posted by | 30 Sep 2024 | , , | 0

Iran is the preferred supplier of missiles for the Venezuelan navy - the Armada Bolivariana de Venezuela. A number of CM-90 maritime target missiles (range 90 kilometres) were recently purchased there, including the support facilities (workshops) and training required to operate and deploy these missiles. These weapons can now also be used to equip the PEYKAAP fast patrol boat platforms that were also purchased from Iran last year, as reported. The exchange of Western weapons systems and platforms with those of friendly countries - not many, especially Russia and Iran, but also China when the opportunity arises - is thus progressing.

On Tuesday, 1 October 2024, the research vessel "Planet" departs for the NATO support mission in the Aegean Sea. With the adoption of the new NATO force organisation (NATO Force Model) on 1 July 2024, the demands on the German Navy as part of the NATO defence forces have increased significantly.
