On 17th April, officers from the Malaysian National Resilience College visited our centre to discuss the evolving global security landscape. The conversation covered multiple pressing issues ranging from the changing character of warfare, especially observed in Ukraine, to the critical importance of sustainment and mobilisation in modern defence strategies. With technology playing an increasingly central role in today’s conflicts, discussions touched upon the use of drones and the development of hybrid warfare. While technological innovation drives defence industries, the resurgence of conventional warfare stresses the significance of traditional mobilisation in contemporary conflict. Participants also raised concerns about engaging younger generations and fostering education on warfare. Finally, the conversation shifted to the Russian threat and its implications for Europe’s security and NATO members with for instance, the Netherlands increasing defence spending. These exchanges highlighted the need for continued collaboration and dialogue between partners around the globe to enhance resilience and better understand the evolving trends of modern warfare.
