Frederiksen: – Grønland er ikke til salgs

Grønland bør kontrolleres av USA, ikke Danmark, sa USAs president Donald Trump på Nato-toppmøtet i Ankara tirsdag. Danmarks statsminister Mette Frederiksen avviser utsagnet.

NATO i endring

Møtet i Ankara er veldig spennende, men organisasjonen vil neppe rakne. Samarbeidet innad i Europa sammen med Canada, vil antakelig forsterke seg. Artikkelen bringer godt bakgrunnstoff og tips for fremtiden. Men, Trump vil ha tingene på sin måte. Han elsker å være jokeren. (Red.)

Er Erdogan redningen for Nato?

Nato-land kjemper med tanken om et liv uten USA. Nå ser stadig flere forventningsfullt på den sterke mannen i Tyrkia.

This multinational initiative builds on the success of the Multinational MRTT Fleet (MMF). It is designed to address strategic airlift capability gaps among European allies, with the eventual establishment of a Multinational Fleet centred on the Airbus A400M military aircraft.  Built upon a ‘pooling and sharing’ strategy, this initiative envisions different stages of cooperation among participating  nations, ranging from a multinationally owned and operated A400M fleet to related services such as maintenance, training support, infrastructure and procurement. The goal is to create an end-to-end solution that more effectively fulfills national and NATO requirements, while offering greater operational flexibility in specific capabilities including  air-to-air refuelling, disaster relief, medical evacuation and firefighting. “The selection of the A400M for this multinational fleet underlines its key strategic airlift capabilities. With more than 135 aircraft in operation and more than 270,000 flight hours achieved by the global fleet, the A400M has become the backbone of Air Mobility for the largest European NATO countries, and with its future capability roadmap, its role will become even more essential for decades to come,“ said Ben Bridge, Chairman Airbus Defence and Space UK. This A400M multinational initiative is inspired by the success of the MMF, which from 2020 operates the Airbus A330 Multirole Tanker Transport (MRTT) aircraft, the most capable and combat-proven strategic tanker available. This successful programme provides nations the exclusive right to operate NATO-owned Airbus A330 MRTT aircraft in a pooling arrangement, delivering commonality, cost efficiency and interoperability on both sides of the Atlantic. It remains a prime example of European operational defence collaboration. Finland officially joins MMF Alongside the A400M agreement, NATO has officially announced the incorporation of Finland as a new member of the Multinational MRTT Fleet, expanding the base of participating nations and reinforcing European sovereignty in critical defence capabilities.  The MMF programme now comprises nine participating nations: the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Norway, Germany, Belgium, Czechia, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. The announcement showcases the strong cooperation between NATO, the participating nations and industry, led by Airbus. The programme stands as an example of how nations can pool and share resources to secure continuous access to state-of-the-art capabilities, demonstrating how Europe can respond effectively to evolving security challenges through innovation and cooperation. With nine A330 MRTTs in operation from a total order of 12 aircraft, the MMF unit has already deployed to  NATO's Eastern Flank, supported civilian and refugee evacuations in Afghanistan, and participated in multinational exercises in the Indo-Pacific region.
