Recently, a delegation led by the Commodore of MFG3 "Graf Zeppelin", Captain Oliver Ottmüller, visited Squadron Number 5 of the New Zealand Air Force in Ohakea. As part of the exchange on the introduction and especially the operation of the new P-8A Poseidon aircraft, the naval aviators from Nordholz are establishing contacts with the various operating nations. For example, there is an intensive exchange with the American Navy, as well as with Norway and Great Britain. A year ago, a delegation from New Zealand travelled a long way to Germany to provide the naval aviators with information and assistance for their first steps with the Poseidon.

Europas größte Volkswirtschaft und einst Russlands größter Erdgasimporteur, Deutschland, hat bisher kein russisches LNG direkt importiert. Seit über zwei Jahren fließt auch kein russisches Pipelinegas mehr. Die Gründe sind bekannt. Als Ersatz für das russische Gas wurden mit staatlichen Hilfen mehrere LNG-Terminals in Brunsbüttel, Wilhelmshaven, Stade und Mukran/Rügen errichtet. Seitdem wird LNG aus den Vereinigten Staaten, Katar und anderen Ländern in den betriebsbereiten Regasifizierungsanlagen verwendet sowie über Pipelinegas aus Norwegen eingespeist. Politik Nun wurde berichtet, dass das Wirtschaftsministerium (BMWK) die Deutsche Energy Terminal angewiesen habe, Direkt-Lieferungen russischen LNGs nicht anzunehmen. Das Unternehmen habe die Bundesregierung zuvor darüber informiert, dass...

The comrades from the state command obviously had their hands full making sure our friends had a good stay. Once on board, we were met by an officer and a chief, who were very professional and...

Specialised flight training of the German Navy secured

Specialised flight training of the German Navy secured

Gepostet von | 20 Nov 2024 | , , | 0

But what is innovative and cost-cutting had to be fought for with a great deal of effort and proof. In the meantime, this good idea has become a standard, as the following press release from the BAAINBw shows: The Bundeswehr Procurement Office recently concluded a framework agreement with the company HeliOperations for specialised flight training for the German Navy. Partly financed from the special assets of the Bundeswehr, this means that the...
