Lateinamerika – Argentinien FMA IA – 63 / Pampa 2000 Das Flugzeug sieht für das ungeübte Auge aus wie ein Alpha-Jet. Die IA 63 ist ein einstrahliger Schulterdecker mit konventionellem Leitwerk. Erst bei näherem Hinsehen erkennt der Laie diverse Unterschiede. Anstelle der beiden Triebwerke des „Alphi“ findet sich nur ein Triebwerk, die Tragflächen scheinen weniger gepfeilt und das Leitwerk scheint etwas steiler zu sein als beim deutsch-französischen Trainer und Erdkampfflugzeug. Aber sonst? mehr...
Pakistan's role in Afghanistan: Geo-political Perceptions
Events in Afghanistan have a critical impact on India’s Internal Security because as Robert Gates, former Director CIA and then US Defense Secretary, said some years ago, “22 per cent of all terrorists operating in Jammu and Kashmir were either from Afghanistan or had been trained there”. The writer, one of India’s foremost experts on Afghanistan and a former DGMI, carries out an incisive analysis of Pakistan’s role in Afghanistan - especially the spoiler dimension that provides sanctuary support to the Haqqani, Quetta and Hekmatyar Shooras and has recently torpedoed the peace talks between the Karzai government and the Taliban. In getting Rabbani killed and targeting the US embassy in Kabul has Pakistan overreached itself? mehr...
The German Navy – The Way Forward?
One of the largest fleets in NATO, the
German Navy appears to have escaped most of the recent cuts imposed by
the government’s austerity plan, since construction of the new vessels
and upgrades for existing platforms seems to continue. However, the
planned reduction of 60 percent in its defense budget could have
negative effect in the future, if the government decides to press on
with the cuts. To continue operating under these restricted budgetary
constraints the Navy may have to reduce its mission sets, whilst
assuming a reduced ‘asymmetric’ role focused on counter-piracy,
peacemaking and peacekeeping operations, rather than full scale, high
intensity operations.mehr...
Hospital CBRN Defence - Threat of Chemical, Biological, Radioactive and Nuclear Weapons
One of the greatest disaster scenarios is the use of WMDs by non-state actors. India is enhancing its commitment to nuclear energy. These reactors are also potential targets for mass casualty terror strikes. The recent Tsunami in Japan led to a nuclear meltdown on an unprecedented scale. CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radioactive and Nuclear Weapons) terrorism or catastrophes with a radiological dimension triggered by natural or man-made disasters are an eventuality that we must be well prepared for in this country. more...
India - Internal Security Doctrine: Urgent Need For Review
In the post war period, the Indian Armed Forces are amongst the most combat tested forces in the world. They have a rich fund of experience both in Conventional wars and Low Intensity Conflict Operations. The Indian Army, in fact, prides itself on evolving a manpower centric approach to Low Intensity conflict. This manpower intensive approach stands in direct contrast to the Technology or equipment intensive approach of the Americans, the Russians and other European countries. Being a large Army, the Indian military has been able to ensure troop rotation for sustained CI /CT campaigns lasting two decades or more. more...
Mumbai 26/11 - Have the hotels learnt a lesson?
166 people were killed in the twin attacks on the Taj Mahal Hotel and the Trident Oberoi Mumbai. There were twin bombings in Jakarta Hotels namely Ritz Carlton and Marriott. Suicide bombers killed 8 persons and maimed 50. The 26/11 terrorist attack on the two Mumbai Hotels - The Taj and The Oberoi Trident was majorly responsible for exposing the vulnerability of the hospitality industry to such malicious man-made attacks. But has the incident changed the perception of the hospitality sector regarding their vulnerability to such attacks and security incidents? The writer takes stock of security enhancement in the hospitality sector, which has in recent times become a prime target of terrorist attacks and laments the attitude of trying to do the bare minimum essential to meet regulatory requirements. more...
Raising the stakes: Russian military support for Syria
Russia is stepping up military support for Syria; reinforcing its opposition to international efforts to force President Bashar al-Assad to halt his eight-month-old crackdown on anti-government protesters. In so doing, Russia is turning the Syrian crisis into an international test of wills. more...

Hotspot Mittlerer Osten: Syrien
Damaskus, die Hauptstadt des Landes, war bereits zur Hochzeit des arabischen Islam der Regierungssitz der Umayyaden ( arabisch: لأمويون / بنو أمية)- auch Omaijaden, Omajjaden, Omajaden – einer Dynastie von Kalifen, die von 660 bis 750 Oberhäupter des sunnitischen Islam waren, und 661 das Kalifat von Medina nach Damaskus verlegten, bis sie 749 durch die Abbassiden (Nachfahren des Propheten Mohammed) abgesetzt wurden. Unter der Herrschaft dieser Kalifen gelang es der arabischen Welt, das Wissen der Antike zu integrieren, etwa Kenntnisse von Technik und Philosophie, die im westlichen Abendland erst vielfach durch die Vermittlung über die Araber wieder bekannt wurden. ... mehr...
