NACHBRENNER 2020 Wissenswertes Aus Dem Bereich Militärluftfahrt Und Luftkriegsführung Nr NACHBRENNER 2020 Wissenswertes aus dem Bereich Militärluftfahrt und Luftkriegsführung Nr. 122 vom 31. Mai 2020 «Air2030: Folgenschwere Konsequenzen bei einem NEIN zum Grundsatzentscheid» Divisionär Bernhard Müller, Kdt Luftwaffe im Interview mit Oberst i Gst Hans-Peter Erni, SC NKF LW in der Juni Ausgabe der ASMZ Sie sind jeweils an die jährliche International Air Chiefs Conference geladen. Wie wird die Beschaffung des Schweizer NKF beobachtet? Was sind Meinungen bei einem allfällig negativen Ausgang der Abstimmung? „Die europäischen Air Chiefs schauen mit viel Interesse auf die Schweiz und ihren speziellen politischen Prozess. Verständlicherweise werben sie für die Vorzüge der eigenen Wahl, jedoch sind keine Druckversuche oder Einmischung spürbar. Ausnahmslos sind alle überzeugt, dass die Erneuerung der Kampfflugzeugflotten von hoher Dringlichkeit ist, weil sich die Sicherheitslage an den Rändern von Europa eindeutig verschlechtert. Ich bin überzeugt: Falls die «reiche» Schweiz zukünftig keinen Beitrag mehr zu ihrer eigenen Verteidigungsfähigkeit leistet, würde dies unsere internationale und hoch angesehene Position negativ beeinträchtigen.“ (Vollständiges Interview siehe Meldung NACHBRENNER 122-156) Farbcode Meldungen: Pflichtlektüre Besondere Beachtung verdient: Schweiz oder entsprechender Bezug Hot Spot: Nutzen Sie die PDF-Suchfunktion mit Hilfe von Stichwörtern, z.B. dem Ländercode für das rasche Auffinden von Sie besonders interessierenden Informationen!

  • Iran to Build New Missile System?
    MIDDLE EAST, NORTH AFRICA Iran to Build New Missile System? OE Watch Commentary: In the accompanying excerpt from “This system…destroyed many of the missiles that Tasnim News, an agency affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Mahmud Ebrahimnejad, the deputy were fired into Syria.” commander of the IRGC’s air defense wing (in Iran, air defense is a separate branch of the military, distinct from the air and ground forces), spoke about developing a domestic version of the Russian Pantsir missile system. Russia builds several variants of the Pantsir, a medium range surface-to-air missile and anti-aircraft weapon. Ebrahimnejad cited the Pantsir’s supposed success in shooting down missiles launched against regime targets in Syria. While there have been only limited airstrikes against Syrian bases and on Iranian facilities and encampments inside Syria, the openness with which Ebrahimnejad talks about copying systems for domestic production is noteworthy. Many Iranian weapons systems today come from Russia, but it is uncertain to what degree the Russian government tolerates the Iranian military industry’s reverse- engineering of its products. If Moscow disapproves of the potential Iranian Pantsir system, greater Russo-Iranian tension could be on 96K6 Pantsir-S (Military-technical forum ARMY-2018 - Demonstration). the horizon.

In the context of networked combat, thermal imaging sensors are and will remain a mainstay of Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance capabilities.

This is a working draft: comments and suggestions are welcome. Introduction Air power remains the arm of choice for Western policymakers contemplating humanitarian military intervention. Although the early 1990s witnessed ground forces deployed to northern Iraq, Somalia, and Haiti to protect civilians and ensure the provision of humanitarian aid, interveners soon embraced air power for humanitarian contingencies. In Bosnia, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO’s) success in combining air power with local ground forces to coerce the Serbs to the negotiating table at Dayton in 1995 suggested air power could help provide an effective response to humanitarian crises that minimized the risks of armed intervention.1 And though NATO’s
