@NickBrown_BV this article (in French, sorry, and the original is in Italian so not better ;-)) refers to my comment about statistics the other day...... which I have learned never to trust!
Concluding remarks of #KISS19 .@SeapowerSeries : (1)war games are key to strengthen the alliance,but we need to make them increasingly challenging to improve readiness & interop.(2)Intelligence from standing naval forces allows best opportunities for deterrence.
Panel 3 of #KISS19 .@SeapowerSeries on sharing info.Great debate,on role of media.Insights also the reluctance of navies to make use of innovation/R&D coming from industry,yet "new techs are disruptive cos they challenge convention & give competitive edge."
Second part of #KISS19 .@SeapowerSeries has started: interesting conversations on the floor and outside the room on the role of #media on producing a #narrative. Battle of perceptions is on at EU & NATO level to produce a narrative that can unite to tackle common threats.
#KISS19 .@SeapowerSeries Panel 1 concluded with a strong message to work better on reconciling security actors and political decision-makers. At a time of a divided Europe (North/South but also centre/periphery) it's key to bring back also political cooperation & coordination
#KISS19 .@SeapowerSeries - all female panel! A very plaisant sight in a largely male dominated work environment! Proud to be part of the female audience too😊
#KISS19 .@SeapowerSeries introductory remarks: regional #expertise and #flexibility will be key for a successful #NATO in the future. Regional command structures will make better use of strained capabilities in regional context.
