Kampf um jeden Euro vorprogrammiert Nun ist er da, der Koalitionsvertrag – und vielleicht gibt es zum Erscheinen dieser Ausgabe ja Aussicht auf und Termin für Kanzlerwahl und Koalitionsgründung. Der Koalitionsvertrag nimmt Bezug auf die sich dynamisch entwickelnde sicherheitspolitische Lage, die sich dadurch auszeichnet, daß eben nicht mehr nur mit Krieg gedroht, sondern dieser tatsächlich geführt wird. Abgesehen von der Nennung Rußlands wird indes über den global sehr heißen Bedrohungsbrei eher der Mantel des Schweigens gedeckt. Man nimmt prägende Aspekte der Situation wahr: „Erstmals seit Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges müssen Deutschland und Europa in der Lage sein, ihre Sicherheit...

Many companies are developing new combat boats or equipping tried and tested ones with modern technology for autonomous use. One of the pioneers is Team Germany with Tamsen, Hagenuk, Hensoldt and Plath. In the wake of changing security policy challenges and the changing requirements for modern maritime deployment concepts, the further development of combat and operational boats is becoming increasingly strategically important. At the same time, the development of autonomous maritime systems is progressing rapidly.

Chinese armed forces are increasingly appearing in the vicinity of the island republic of Taiwan. The CIA and Pentagon are warning of an imminent surprise attack.

Leading US officers expect that China will soon be able to carry out a surprise attack against Taiwan disguised as a major exercise. The prospect of the US being drawn into such a war is increasing. The PRC insists that Taiwan (officially: Republic of China or RoC) is a legitimate part of China and insists on "reunification" (i.e. incorporation of the RoC). Rejection and...
