Rebuilding Germany's air defence capabilities, on the eve of crucial decisions - Gotkowska, Justyna (Ośrodek Studiów Wschodnich im. Marka Karpia, 2018)
As NATO has returned its focus to collective defence since 2014, very short, short-range and medium-range surface-based air defence has become a desirable capability. Germany, which has been recalibrating the Bundeswehr to resume participation in conventional military conflicts, is in the process of re-creating air defence capabilities. In 2018-2019, the German Defence Ministry is expected to take decisions regarding two crucial air defence programmes: the NNbS and the TLVS.
