T Air-Defense System
Current Affairs / Petr Uzsák
A frequently discussed topic in recent weeks has been Russian provocations
carried out by airborne assets across the borders of neighboring states —
namely those European countries that are members of the North Atlantic
Alliance.An important part of a clear response is having one‘s own air-defense
systems. The most often mentioned system — also in connection with the war
in Ukraine — is the American MIM-104 Patriot. However, in the European area
this is not the only means of protecting allied territory from external air strikes,
as the article will explain.
The Modern French Navy
World Naval Forces / Petr Uzsákk
The naval forces of the country of the Gallic Rooster have a very long tradition, las-
ting almost four hundred years continuously. The French Navy was founded in 1626
during the reign of Louis XIII. and since then it has had many famous and defining
moments. It is enough to recall the famous overseas expeditions of officers Jean
Ribault, Louis Antoine de Bougainville and Jean-Francois de Galup de Laperouse
to drive the point home. It can also be said that the French naval forces were pio-
neers in putting innovations into practice with, for example, ships with a steel hull,
armored cruisers, the first seaplane carrier or the first mechanically propelled
submarines..
