The rule -based world order has become more important. This is very clear because of the aggression war in Russia over Ukraine and the struggle between Israel and the Palestinian terrorist organization of Hamas. The United Nations hardly play a role in solving these two conflicts, Brigadier Berthold Sandtner analyzes.
“The world order based on international law disappears. There is a new one, “said the head of the Institute for Higher Military Leadership at the State Defense Academy in conversation with Gerhard Koller. Sandtner does not confirm whether NATO has had his day. The Western Defense Alliance has actually been reinforced by the Russian attack war.
NATO has experienced a Renaissance
A few years ago, French President Emmanuel Macron stated that NATO had “brain death” that Russia had created NATO revival. Two serious neutral states – Finland and Sweden have become members. “NATO has been revived very militarily and politically. She experienced a Renaissance. The Alliance now sets 2.7 percent of their GDP for defense. Poland even invests considerably more than the United States. A NATO without the US is unthinkable, Sandtner said about the threats of US President Donald Trump to leave the Alliance.
The Brigadier answers the question whether Europe is in the war: “It depends on how to define the war. There is war in the sense of a discussion between two military parties in Ukraine. If one continues the term, as the struggle of a power with a hegemonic endeavor that is carried out with their hybrids, such as propaganda, disinformation, economic blackmail, sabotage, then yes.
Hybrid wars instead of pure armored battle
“In reality, it is now about Cyber War, a sub-cable and internet connections that have been broken and disinformation of the population or manipulation of elections. Conventional wars with weapons are, as is currently experienced, but no snow from yesterday.
A lot has happened in the Austrian armed forces in many areas, but there is a need to catch up, for example in the electronic combat tour. “One of the most burning problems is to produce a robust air defense capacity.” If Austria, as on some days in Ukraine, was attacked by 300 drones at a time, the federal army could intercept the most individuals.
“No other European state could do that either. The only state in the world that can currently ward out such an extensive attack is Israel. You have proven this with two massive Iranian major attacks. Austria is currently far from such an extensive threat scenario, Sandtner emphasizes.
