This blog exists since late May 2007 - it started slowly and in secret, I told others about it only months later and wasn't blogging very much till August 2008 when I wrote more than ten texts in a month for the first time due to the South Ossetia War.
I still like pretty much all my texts, but I feel that some are especially noteworthy. About 90% of my texts are rather timeless - they could have been published years earlier or years later. It's thus a pity that new readers will likely not read most of the earlier texts.
This is a list of my favourites, texts that I believe should be read
(even more so than the others):
2009/03/12
European naval power requirements (for defence)
What kind of naval power is really required to DEFEND Europe?
2009/02/25
The extent of the economical problem - because some don't get it
The mass media tells you only about symptoms, not about the structural sickness.
2009/02/14
Fact check: Military hardware novelty
It's been around for decades, and you could sell it as new if you colorize the photos.
2009/02/04
Active Protection Suites (for AFV): state of the art
An overview that fixes the incomplete information about APS in English publications.
2008/12/17
The American Way of War (tm)
To throw resources at a problem is no art.
2008/10/31
The credibility of nuclear umbrellas
Cold War expectations might be outdated.
2008/10/23
Excursion: The economic crisis in the USA
It's not just the banks, it's about trade as well!
2008/08/21
The success story of hard kill defences
It's a trend that extends to armies now.
2008/08/07
Geostrategy: Most interesting country in the world
Others would go nuts if they lived in such a pivot.
2008/07/18
Industrial power
Times have changed.
2008/05/22
Technology creeps according to patterns
Patterns - an aid to look into the future.
2008/04/21
Are we clueless about modern conventional warfare?
Yes, we are.
2008/04/09
Reasoning about the Afghanistan war (commitment)
Why exactly are we fighting there?
2008/03/17
Shocking shipbuilding industry
It's not where most expect it to be.
2007/09/19
Addendum: Feasibility of an intercept vs. captured passenger plane in Germany
Our politicians had a bogus debate.
2007/07/27
Sustainability of military power
Not really sustainable and the present level.
2007/07/17
War or not war? Victory or defeat?
When should war be waged?
