As announced at the beginning of July, Nobiskrug has signed a contract with Cecil Wright for the construction of an 80-metre superyacht. Together with Winch Design, the renowned Rendsburg shipyard and the well-known broker will work on the design and construction of an 80-metre superyacht with five decks. She should be ready for delivery at the pier in three years.

The straits of the Red Sea are of strategic importance Remote-controlled cameras will take over responsibility from the US-led peacekeeping forces to ensure that international shipping retains free access to the Gulf of Aqaba, whose coast is shared by Israel and three Arab states. The island of Tiran, which lies in the strait of the same name at the mouth of the Gulf, was handed over to Saudi Arabia by Egypt in 2017 along with the neighbouring island of Sanafir. During a visit to Israel and Saudi Arabia last week, US President Joe Biden announced that the small contingent of Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) on Tiran would be withdrawn. The MFO...

On board the floating units, the servicemen and women are to carry out more repairs themselves again. They receive support from the naval arsenal. In this day and age, you might ask yourself what the headline is supposed to mean. Is the naval arsenal calling in reservists for support? Has it recently started using its own boats in order to be more mobile? To answer these questions, a short preface is necessary. The Inspector General of the German Armed Forces, General Eberhard Zorn, has commissioned the Navy to take the lead in addressing the issue of immediate repairs in order to increase operational readiness. By January 2021, cooperation with the Naval Arsenal (MArs) in...

The Scandinavian navies can look back on a long history. Due to the confrontation with Russia, their importance in the North and Baltic Seas is growing again. The Scandinavian states of Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Iceland are traditionally closely linked. They are represented in the Nordic Council for cultural and political cooperation and in the Nordic Defence Cooperation Nordefco. The aim of the latter is to coordinate joint defence projects in the areas of procurement, logistics, training and defence planning. Norway, Denmark and Iceland, which do not have their own armed forces, are members of NATO, while the neutral states of Sweden and Finland have joined the EU and the NATO Partnership for Peace (PfP) programme.

India: Super Hornet on the ski-jump

India: Super Hornet on the ski-jump

India requires 26 state-of-the-art multi-role fighter jets for the flying component of the new nationally built aircraft carrier "Vikrant" (Project 71) - but these jets should be able to ski-jump! The carrier is designed for STOBAR, i.e. equipped with a 14° ramp for "short take off and arrested recovery". The preferred aircraft types Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet (USA) and Dassault Rafale M (France) are not designed for this and must first demonstrate this capability before contract negotiations can take place. The Rafale has already passed this milestone. Proof of function in Goa Boeing has now followed suit and demonstrated this capability on the ski-jump runway at the West Indian naval airbase "Hansa" on...
