RTX.com/ELCAN © 2020 Raytheon Company, a Raytheon Technologies company 20ELC011_ELCAN_ESD_A4.indd 1 11/4/20 9:28 AM Editorial Good Luck to Us At the time this issue goes to print, the ballots in several US states are still being counted. But it is very likely that Joe Biden has won the presidential election in the United States, making this election one of the most important events of international relevance of this year. Others certainly include the death of George Floyd spawning heavy turmoil and nighttime curfews in over 40 cities in the US and giving impetus to the global Black Lives Matter move- ment. Or the protests in Belarus as a result of the presidential elections , the United States’ withdrawal from the World Health Organisation, the terrorist assaults in Vienna and Nice and, above all, the global COVID-19 pandemic. But as this is already the last issue of the year, I would also like to review a number of incidents and occurrences that have not been subject to extensive press coverage, but turned out to be of noticeable relevance to the team of European Security & Defence and all other employees and the management of our publishing house. On 26 February 2020 the Managing Director of Mittler Report Verlag and Editor-in-Chief of this magazine, Dr Peter Bossdorf, died as a result of an aortic aneurism. His death hit us all com- pletely unexpected, as most of us had still been in personal contact with him in his office the day before– with no signal at all about what was going to happen. Nobody had ever consid- ered anything like this could happen, and it was like having to turn around while racing down- hill. Peter’s responsibilities and duties had to be delegated and re-distributed from one day to the next, as a result of which the undersigned was assigned the position of the Publishing Director of the group’s Bonn-based operations and responsibility as the Editor-in-Chief of this magazine whereas Stephen Barnard was promoted to the magazine’s Publisher, thus assuming commercial responsibility for ESD. To all of us, the future looked very foggy and our owner Peter Tamm expected a significant downturn in the company’s overall revenue. Like everybody else, COVID-19 hit us the month after and the lockdown in Germany came in April. With that, practically all events and exhibitions were cancelled and with ESD as a maga- zine frequently used by industry to draw attention to their exhibition presence by means of “Meet us at…” advertisements we expected a further downturn in business, independently from the scheduled weekly interruption of our daily business processes because we physically moved to a new office facility at Beethovenallee 21 in the Bad Godesberg "Villenviertel" in June. In August, Waldemar Geiger, with the support of André Forkert and Dr Jan Phillipp Weis- swange launched ww.soldat-und-technik.de as a new German language website dedicated to matters of interest to the individual infantryman. In the meantime, the website – complement- ing mittler-report.de, esut.de and euro-sd.com – proved to be successful, both in terms of visitor numbers and commercially. At the beginning of September, as a result of company owner Peter Tamm’s most recent acqui- sition of K&K Medienverlag Hardthöhe, our new colleagues from the magazine Hardthöhenku- rier joined us at our new office facilities, bringing along the necessity of harmonising previously different business approaches and cultures. In October, we published the pilot issues of our new international naval magazine Maritime Se- curity & Defence, which will see five regular issue next year and is scheduled to appear as a bi-monthly from 2022. In November, Lars Hoffmann joined the company as our new Editorial Director, also extending the online offerings of Mittler Report by his own website and online portal www.hartpunkt.de. Now, have all these developments lead to the expected downturn of our business? Well, they haven’t. As a matter of fact and despite deep mourning for Peter Bossdorf, in terms of turnover, revenue and reputation, 2020 has been the best year ever since the company has existed in its current format. Although this achievement could certainly only be accomplished with some bits of unexpected luck, it is the result of the efforts invested not only by the employees of Mittler Report Verlag, but also by our numerous authors, subcontractors, partners and clients. And the continued confidence in our work by you, our readers. Thank you all for this, and let’s wish ourselves all luck for the year ahead. It won’t be an easy one. Merry Christmas to those who live in a Christian environment and season’s greetings and a Happy New Year to everybody!

    Opinion No.44 On the coverage of the topic of grant receivers (the Renaissance Foundation and others) on the ZIK television channel (Novi Komunikatsii LLC) on November 13, 2020 Kyiv December 21, 2020 І. Circumstances of the case 1. On November 12, 2020, the Independent Media Council received an appeal from Oksana Romaniuk, executive director of the Institute of Mass Information, regarding the telethon “Sorosist Revenge” as announced on the ZIK television channel, to review the respective content and provide an opinion on whether or not there were violations of professional standards on the part of the ZIK channel, including hate speech and manipulations. 2. On December 1, 2020, the Independent Media Council, pursuant to paragraph 12 of the Regulations on the Independent Media Council, recognized the appeal regarding this case admissible, given the matter is of great social importance (similar content was already aired on this TV channel, whereby the IMC identified violations). 3. In the morning (at 08:37) on November 13, 2020, the ZIK channel aired a story devoted to George Soros, his influence on the Ukrainian government and the "army of his supporters", allegedly formed by him in nearly every country of the world; it was said that the billionaire was born into a Jewish family in Budapest in 1930; that "Soros combines getting rich quick with charity", and that most of his assets are allegedly owned by the Open Society Foundations. It is asserted that G.Soros is financing various projects in developing countries through a network of his foundations. Yet later, with a reference to the "billionaire’s critics", he is accused of having selfish motives and commercial interests - with only Ihor Mosiychuk, an ex-MP, shown to be criticizing G.Soros directly.

  • L-39 Albatros
    L-39 ALBATROS Type: L-39 Albatros Max Speed: 490 KIAS / Mach 0.80 Max Range: 864 NM G-Limits: +8.0g / -4.0g Ceiling: 36,000 ft Max Climb Rate: 4,130+ fpm Max Endurance: 3.8 hours The L-39 Albatros is a highly capable, stable, subsonic aircraft that first flew in November 1969. The aircraft is produced in the Czech Republic and it is constructed in conjunction with plans developed by Aero Vodochody and its chief designer, Jan Vlček. The L-39 is flown worldwide, principally with former Soviet allies. The aircraft continues to fly in countries as diverse as Iraq, Chechnya, Libya, Syria and Russia. The Albatros is flown primarily as a trainer or light attack aircraft similar in mission to the Italian MB339 or M-346, the British Hawk and the US Goshawk. The L-39 is designed with many distinguishing characteristics. The aircraft possesses a uniquely tall vertical tail that is swept back and is one of its dominant features. The tail, with its inset rudder, provides directional control to the aircraft. The L-39 has thick wings that provide ample lift for the airframe, and each wing has provisions to mount stores or fuel tanks that extend the range of the L-39. Operational g-force limits at 4,200 kg are +8g/-4g. Side-by-side airbrakes are located under the L-39 fuselage slightly ahead of the wing’s leading edge. The L-39 has variable-incidence horizontal stabilizers mounted on the rear of the aircraft at the base of the rudder.
