One of the most significant developments in the Western Pacific is Tokyo's emerging rapprochement with Seoul and Manila in terms of security policy. Even after almost 80 years, the resentment from the Second World War and the decades before is still very much alive in East Asia. This is particularly pronounced in South Korea and the Philippines, where many people still harbour negative attitudes towards Japan and the dispute over war-related reparations payments continues. This circumstance has also characterised the security policy relations between these countries to date. However, the dual threat from China and North Korea has recently led to a rethink. There is a growing realisation that the time has come...

US Navy: Ballistic Missile Defence for Israel

During the massive Iranian attack on Israel on the night of 13 to 14 April 2024 with around 170 drones, 120 ballistic missiles and 30 cruise missiles, it was not only the Israeli Iron Dome air defence system that proved its effectiveness. Allies and neighbouring states have also intervened to support the fight. These included the two US destroyers ARLEIGH BURKE (DDG 51) and CARNEY (DDG 64), which operated long-range ballistic missile defence (BMD) in the eastern Mediterranean for the first time. The CARNEY had already been deployed for a month as one of the US reinforcements for Operation Prosperity Guardian in the...

Kiel-Wik naval base, middle of the last decade. Two flag officers, both former speedboat drivers and therefore at home in the Baltic Sea, one commander of the fleet, the other flotilla commander, stand in the staff building of Flotilla 1 and look out over the berths at the base. There are far too few boats to practise demanding scenarios on their own in addition to their ongoing duties. Too little capacity to organise complex, multi-dimensional training projects. Admittedly, this is not a fundamentally new...
