The third issue of Militär Aktuell in 2020 is being published these days, covering a wide range of topics – from the Army Logistics School in Vienna to the booming business with flying enemy actors, not only in the USA, and the current mass protests in Lebanon.
Together with experts Christoph Bilban, Gerald Hainzl and Stephan Reiner from the Institute for Peacekeeping and Conflict Management (IFK), we analyze the foreign and security policy situation in Europe and its immediate surroundings. The current developments in Belarus are just as much a topic as the war in Syria, the previously mentioned mass protests in Lebanon and the military coup in Mali. What do these conflicts have in common? “They are all rooted in a profound dissatisfaction among their own populations. Poverty, corruption and a lack of prospects have built up enormous frustration in these countries over decades, which is now breaking out in different ways and causing enormous instability not only in the countries concerned, but also far beyond,” the experts say. What else can you expect in this issue? Our author Stefan Tesch paid a visit to the Army Logistics School in the Vega-Payer-Weyprecht barracks in Vienna-Penzing and we accompanied the experts from the demining service on a mission in the Carnic Alps. We spoke to Hirtenberger Managing Director Carsten Barth about the present and future of the domestic ammunition and mortar manufacturer, which was sold to a Hungarian state-owned company. Security policy expert Brigadier (ret.) Walter Feichtinger pinpoints the Arctic as a potential conflict zone of the future, and our author Georg Mader describes the rapidly growing market for air combat enemy actors, which is worth billions.
