Catalogue Collector’s Edition - Includes all Tankograd titles ever published! WWW.TANKOGRAD.COM KÜBELWAGEN on all Frontlines The Kübelwagen is a legend. While there have been several publications covering this vehicle over the decades, this present book is different as it offers a fresh look and a unique approach: For the first time, a large amount of high-quality wartime photographs were available for the detailed research of production batches and individual components. This has allowed the first-ever, reliable production batch identifier to be published. In addition, the photos displayed are mostly unpublished and come from private photo albums of soldiers that drove in and worked with the Kübelwagen on a daily basis, rather than being well- known propaganda shots. This book starts where other publications end, with the moment the first Kübelwagen was delivered to the Wehrmacht in mid-1940, and it takes the reader through the war years and to all frontlines.

Political certainties and boundaries disappear into thin air in an amazingly short period of time. It is not even possible to approximately estimate the global effects of climate change, the consequences of urbanisation and demographic development. If we take this initial situation and also consider the fact that rapid techno- logical development – in addition to the existing threat scenarios – is making cyber attacks, drone attacks and new forms of terrorism possible, it becomes clear just how great the current demands are in terms of security. In order to be able to guarantee security and protection in the world of the future, we need the expertise and energy of a group that, with a successful past in the development of defence and security technology, already has these dangers in mind. In line with changing realities, we see it as our greatest challenge and respon- sibility to develop pioneering products and systems that are a decisive step ahead of real and future threats. 2 3 FUTURE CHALLENGE – DRONE DEFENCE MAINTAIN CONTROL WHERE THERE IS A RISK OF LOSING CONTROL.

Building on its success in Georgia, the Russian Federation moved aggressively in 2014 to seize Crimea and destabilise eastern Ukraine. In each case, Russia leveraged ethnic Russian populations to encourage separatist movements, introducing Russian paramilitaries, intelligence operatives, special forces and eventually conventional forces.

    Capítulo segundo Análisis de las capacidades terrestres de los países de nuestro entorno José María Martínez Ferrer Resumen Los Ejércitos de Tierra de los cinco países estudiados (Reino Unido, Fran- cia, Alemania, Italia y España) han tenido una evolución paralela desde el final de la Guerra Fría, aunque marcada por el nivel de ambición de las naciones respectivas (aspiraciones globales en el caso de Reino Unido y Francia y, con matices, de potencia media en Alemania, Italia y España). El foco en la defensa territorial, la disuasión y el combate convencional de alta intensidad dio paso a las operaciones expedicionarias y la gestión de crisis, intentando mantener una alta capacidad tecnológica mientras dis- minuía sensiblemente la entidad de la fuerza en el marco de una reducción presupuestaria sostenida. El interés por las fuerzas terrestres repuntó tras el 11-S con el énfasis en las operaciones de contrainsurgencia y estabili- zación en Irak y Afganistán, sin embargo, el ambiguo e insatisfactorio final de ambas campañas inhibió el interés político por las intervenciones te- rrestres, junto al severo impacto de la crisis económica de 2008 en Euro- pa occidental. No obstante, los acontecimientos de 2014 (la intervención rusa en Ucrania y la reactivación del terrorismo yihadista internacional del Dáesh/Estado islámico, junto a la desestabilización crónica de Siria-Irak y Libia), junto a una ligera mejora de las perspectivas económicas de Europa, parecen haber reavivado la relevancia de los Ejércitos de Tierra, cuyas ca- pacidades se han erosionado significativamente en los últimos veinte años. En la actualidad, todas las fuerzas terrestres de los países considerados 59 José María Martínez Ferrer luchan por alcanzar un equilibrio tras años de hacer «más con menos», aunque al menos la perspectiva de ulteriores reducciones de capacidades parece haberse evitado temporalmente.
