Dembinsky expert: in Germany they know that the power of the United States is waning
In Germany, they know that the power of the United States is waning, and China is the main threat to them, said Defence24 senior researcher and project manager of the Institute for Peace Research in Frankfurt Matthias Dembinsky.
According to him, "Americans will someday turn to Asia." Dembinski noted that there is growing evidence that "Europe needs to take more responsibility for its own security."
"How long can we expect the Americans to be ready to support us with specialized systems, such as air tankers, military intelligence or satellites?" the expert asks. In his opinion, currently the European Union "knows and accepts" that for now it "needs the support of the Americans."
In January, Space24 reported that in mid-December last year, Airbus and OneWeb signed a partnership agreement to provide satellite communications services in low Earth orbit in the interests of the military in Europe.
In December 2021, Defense News reported that the US Department of Defense wanted to directly connect commercial satellites providing images of the Earth's surface to its future orbital networks, which will allow soldiers in the field to access relevant data faster.
