Former NATO Senior Committee Chairman asks for Turkey to be suspended from its membership

Austet moded/administraatorid, olemas on küll Ungari, Läti,Leedu ja Poola teemad,aga ehk teeks juurde sellise teema,kuhu postitada kogu NATO riikide kaitsega seotud hangete infot.

Boeing has announced that it successfully tested an electromagnetic pulse missile capable of disabling electronics without affecting structures. The Counter-electronics High-powered Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP) was tested by a Boeing Phantom Works/U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory Directed Energy Directorate team on October 16 at the Utah Test and Training Range.
Firing high-power microwave bursts at a multi-story structure containing electronic systems and devices, the drone-like weapon irreparably disabled the computers and electronics within seven targets in a one-hour period. The cameras recording the operation were also disabled.
CHAMP's High Power Microwave instrument that provided the disabling EMP blast is a product of Raytheon Ktech, who remotely viewed the operation. Telemetry and data from the test are now being analyzed further.
Though speculation exists surrounding the weapon’s effectiveness against military-hardened electronics, the prospects of its use are bright.
“This technology marks a new era in modern-day warfare,” said Keith Coleman, Boeing Phantom Works' CHAMP Program Manager. “In the near future, this technology may be used to render an enemy’s electronic and data systems useless even before the first troops or aircraft arrive.”
The CHAMP program is a three-year endeavor between Boeing and U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory that hopes to eventually produce five such EMP missiles.

Six out of 15 old frigates have been retired from service, but none of the new F125 frigates has been released to the navy

Ehk nüüd, kui fookus on otseselt Venemaa heidutamisel, mitte ainult liitlaste kindlustunde kasvatamisel, tuleb rohkem raha eraldada laskemoonavarudele ning tankide ja soomukite täiustamisele.

Kuigi eelarve ei näe otseselt ette 2019. aastal Euroopasse lisasõdurite saatmist, kuid 2020. aastal on kavas sõdureid Euroopasse paigutada dünaamilisemalt ja nii, et mõnel hetkel saaks korraldada mitme brigaadiga õppusi. Samuti nähakse ette, et üksuste roteerumised ja õppused peavad lisaks suuremale sagedusele toimuma ka kiiremalt ja ootamatumalt. 2020. aastaks peaks ka Euroopasse paigutatud üksuste varustus ja laskemoonavarud olema täielikult uuendatud.

Pentagoni dokumentide kohaselt läheb 200 miljonit dollarit ka Ukraina relvajõudude koolitamiseks ja varustamiseks.

Eesti puhul on varem teatatud, et EDI raames investeerib USA Ämari õhuväebaasi arendamisse.

Interesting paragraph inside, related to the US posture in Europe, emphasising importance of the European Deterrence Initiative, proposing relocation of @usairforce #A10s squadron back to Europe and creation of a permanent A-10 forward operating location in the Baltic region.

DeptofDefense plans to spend about 700 million dollars, in #FY2019, to enhance military installations in Europe. These European Deterrence Initiative (#EDI) funds are specifically aimed at improvement both U.S. and .@NATO military readiness and responsiveness in the region.

Mäletamist mööda arvestatakse NATOs days of supply kusagil 200 kanti.
