Russia’s Strategy in Cyberspace

Digital event on Wednesday, September, 8th 2021, 5 pm CET //

Headlines connecting Russia to the vague notion of ‘cyber’ have become daily bread for Western publics and decision makers alike. As part of Russia’s information confrontation, Russia uses the cyberspace for physical attacks on infrastructure as well as cognitive attacks such as disinformation. Russia’s centre of gravity in the ‘information confrontation’ lies in peoples’ minds and perception of events, both domestically and internationally.

Drone war – the military paradigm change: Lessons learned from Nagorno-Karabakh and Syrian battle-space

Digital event on Wednesday, February, 10 2021, 5 pm CET //

Modern drones have entered the battlespace and are changing dramatically the nature of future conflicts. High value traditional land units, artillery as well as even sophisticated air-defence capabilities are highly vulnerable against advanced drone warfare weaponry and concepts. Furthermore, troops get demoralized by the continuing threatening presence of UAVs. The Azerbaijani-Armenian as well as the Syrian battlespace offer important lessons-learned for the military community.
