In this exclusive Defence IQ interview, Brigadier General Christoph Huber outlines Germany’s commitment to building a permanent combat-ready formation in Lithuania. He explains how Panzerbrigade 45 is being structured to reach full warfighting capability by 2027, highlighting the importance of modern equipment, robust training, and close cooperation with NATO Allies. With Leopard 2A8 tanks, Puma IFVs, and Panzerhaubitze 2000 artillery forming its core, the brigade stands as a clear signal of deterrence on NATO’s eastern flank.

In the run-up to Land Warfare Europe 2025, Defence IQ sat down with Brigadier General Boštjan Močnik, Commander of the Slovenian Armed Forces Command, to discuss how Slovenia is strengthening NATO’s eastern flank and adapting to modern threats.

Discussing a range of topics, including countering drones, loitering munitions, bolstering cyber resilience and interoperability, Brigadier General Močnik outlines Slovenia’s priorities for modernising its land forces. He also highlights the importance of layered air defence, stronger fire support, and the integration of emerging technologies such as AI and autonomous systems to maintain operational effectiveness in future conflicts.

This exclusive Defence IQ interview provides insights into how Slovenia and its NATO allies are working together to build a more robust, agile, and resilient European defence posture.

Defence iQ's Land Warfare Europe market report examines how NATO nations along the eastern flank are modernising and recapitalising their land forces to address evolving security challenges. It sets the strategic scene by examining the importance of the Baltic states, the implications of the ReArm Europe Plan, and the development of the Baltic Defence Line. The analysis highlights the core capability areas driving investment, including integrated air and missile defence, counter-UAS systems, armour and artillery upgrades, and the adoption of autonomy, robotics, and advanced ISR.

Our market report also reviews efforts to strengthen interoperability across multinational forces, ensuring readiness for joint operations. Detailed national profiles cover Lithuania, Poland, Latvia, and Estonia, alongside insights into other NATO partners pursuing significant land warfare modernisation programmes. The report further considers EU and NATO funding initiatives, industry partnerships, and the practical challenges of delivering capability against tight budgets and timelines.

For defence leaders, policymakers, and industry stakeholders, the report provides a clear overview of current priorities, emerging opportunities, and the market dynamics shaping land warfare in Europe today.

Colonel Jan Hric, Commander of the 5th Artillery Regiment of the Slovak Armed Forces, discusses how Slovakia is reinvesting in its Artillery capabilities and enhancing its forward presence in the Baltics. With the threat of near-peer confrontation, artillery has become one of the areas most needing reform. On the modern battlefield, artillery must deliver sufficient, accurate firepower and survive counter-fire and other threats. As a result of this threat and rethinking, nations are rekindling their artillery capabilities.

The relatively flat lands of Europe’s border with Russia make it ideal for armour and artillery. Current and past conflicts serve as a testament to this. In preparation for Defence IQ’s Land Warfare Europe conference, we are releasing a market report focusing on the region's artillery and armour programmes. Read this report to:

Many military planners are convinced that Europe needs an effective Land Force to guarantee its security now more than ever. The employment of said land forces will be according to Europe's geostrategic interests, not the least of which is the Black Sea Region. Supported by the Romanian Armed Forces, in preparation for our Land Warfare Conference, we were able to secure an exclusive interview with Lieutenant General (Ret) Corneliu Postu, former Chief of Staff of the Romanian Armed Forces, where he shares his expert views on the current situation of the Black Sea Region and the roles the Romanian Armed Forces.
