Europa unterschätzt einen strategischen Wandel in der modernen Kriegsführung: den gezielten Angriff auf kritische Infrastruktur. Deren Widerstandsfähigkeit muss daher ins Zentrum der Verteidigungs- und Sicherheitsagenda Deutschlands und Europas rücken.

Europe is underestimating a strategic shift in modern warfare: the intentional targeting of critical infrastructure. Russia has targeted Ukrainian civilian and critical infrastructure for years, but such energy systems have become central in the Iran War. Energy infrastructure is a particular focus: Strikes on gas and oil facilities illustrate how quickly economies can be destabilized by disrupting power grids, industrial production, and civilian supply. The resilience of critical infrastructure must move to the center of Germany’s and Europe’s defense and security agenda.
