Der Verfassungsschutz ist aktiv an Neueinsteiger in der Rüstungsindustrie herangetreten und hat vor Sabotage und #Spionage durch #Russland gewarnt. Auch Startups sind im Visier. Man muss sich dort auf "robustere Aktionen" einstellen, hieß es. Recherche 👇

@RKiesewetter Dann werden wir auch über die Bündelung der Fähigkeiten im Ressort Verteidigung sprechen müssen, um das Gefecht aus einer Hand führen zu können. Wir brauchen einen militärischen Auslandsnachrichtendienst in Zuständigkeit der Bw. Alles andere wäre mal wieder ein DEU Sonderweg!

An interesting read with plenty to agree on, but I think 🇬🇧 should be much more focused on working with the Norwegians on the ‘Bear gap’ rather than the GIUK gap

Given the range of Russian SLCMs if Russian SSNs/SSGNs get into the Norwegian Sea they can hold sites in 🇬🇧 at risk

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

We were invited to look at BAE Systems’ Herne, a large, advanced autonomous submarine. Herne is built to be expendable yet capable. In the next 18 months, BAE plans to enhance Herne's operational capabilities, range and performance.

New Chinese hybrid aerial underwater vehicle (HAUV).

— Nezha-SeaDart is a tail-sitting fixed-wing vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) hybrid aerial underwater vehicle.

— It can vertically take off and land from ground and water, cruise in the air with lift generated by the wings, and seamlessly cross the air-water boundary.

Der Krieg in der Ukraine wird vorwiegend an Land ausgetragen, dennoch muss sich die Ukraine auch im Schwarzen Meer gegen Angriffe der 🇷🇺 Flotte wehren.

Welche Lehren für die Maritime Sicherheit hält dieser Seekrieg bereit?
Dies diskutierten Experten beim #KISS24

"The partnership — if it comes to pass — would be wide-ranging and would include defence-industrial cooperation on certain projects in order to create interoperable combat platforms."

Super interesting RFI from Royal Navy, seeking containerized, remote/autonomous ASW sensor suite that could be deployed on "c40 meters Common Medium sized Uncrewed Surface Vessel".

Patrick Blackett, which is believed to be destined to autonomous trial in near future, is 42m...

This is some amazing reporting, but I am unpersuaded by the framing. Russia's nuclear doctrine as described sounds exactly what official documents say it is. A short thread.

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

BREAKING:

The U.S. Navy announces that the Houthis have for the first time tried to attack US vessels in the Red Sea with an unmanned underwater drone (UUV).

The drone was spotted and destroyed before it got anywhere close to the ships.
