Seit Ex-Kanzler Olaf Scholz im Februar 2022 die Zeitenwende ausrief, kann die Bundeswehr bei Bestellungen aus dem Vollen schöpfen. Wie viel davon schon geliefert wurde, weiß das Verteidigungsministerium allerdings nicht.

“Moran Security Group guards accompany dozens of ships in Russia’s ‘shadow fleet‘ in the Baltic Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. ‘When they pass near European coasts or military assets, they take photos of our vessels‘.”

A ship recently suspected of being a Russian drone carrier (possibly with drone found) has broken down in the midst of the routes NATO will use to exercise logistics ops, starting Monday. Aurora26 is coined a dress rehearsal for Swedens role as a transit country if eastern front needs defending.

Gleich mehrere Tage war König Frederik X. von Dänemark mit Elitesoldaten und ihren Hundeschlitten auf Grönland unterwegs. Er schwärmte vom »Rausch der Natur« – und reagierte gleichzeitig vielleicht auch noch auf Donald Trump.

After the idea of charging a toll has been floated, and so prominently, expect the Malacca issue to drift back into view again before too long

Did you know that Estonia’s (with population of a little over 1 million) total mobilisable potential is 230 000, nearly 20% of the population ? I think most European countries can do a bit more.

Europeans have increasing doubts that President Trump remains committed to the NATO alliance and the mutual defense it ensures. And so they are talking more seriously about their own little-known guarantee for collective defense.

Three ships have been fired on in the Strait of Hormuz today - so far. The circumstances are unclear. But one thing is clear: ships and seafarers are on the frontline of a conflict in which they have no role.

More than half of the world's nation states are believed to have purchased technology that could be capable of hacking into Britain's infrastructure, companies and private networks, U.K. intelligence has found.

Der Iran hat so etwas wie eine neue Bombe entdeckt - nämlich die Straße von Hormuz zu nutzen, um alle zu erpressen. Das geht nicht nur gegen die USA, das geht letztlich auch gegen uns. Der Iran wird diese "Bombe" so schnell nicht wieder aus der Hand geben.

Of great interest. Both strikes deep in Sevastopol inner harbour

The U.S. and Iran on Sunday exchanged accusations of cease-fire violations as the Strait of Hormuz remained largely closed after a tumultuous weekend of conflicting statements and reported attacks on ships.
