| Summary / Abstract (Note) | LIKE DEFENSE MECHANISMS in any living thing designed to constantly cope with changing reality and protect them against harmful factors, defense mechanisms of a state, which still hinge on its armed forces, ought to evolve to be able at any moment to adequately react to modern challenges and threats. The development level of these defense mechanisms, their modernity and efficiency, their attractiveness at home and abroad are good indicators of the health and robustness of the state as an organism.
Renovation, optimization and modernization are processes that must be taking place constantly in the system of armed forces, otherwise this system is doomed to stagnation and lagging behind which is difficult and costly to end. Germany is currently trying to make up for precisely this kind of lagging behind. |
