Regional Security and Modernisation Efforts Comparative Analysis of the V4 Air Forces
The study explores the air forces of the Visegrád Group within the broader framework of regional security studies, focusing on their modernisation efforts and strategic importance in Central and Eastern Europe. Emphasising the interplay between national defence priorities and collective NATO goals, the study examines defence spending, procurement trends and operational capabilities. The research seeks to assess how the modernisation of the V4 air forces contributes to regional stability and to what extent disparities in readiness and capabilities influence collective security. Using a comparative analysis based on the Military Balance + and SIPRI databases, the study evaluates current force structures and procurement trajectories. The findings reveal significant differences in modernisation levels, with Poland leading in both scale and diversity, while Slovakia faces pronounced capability gaps. The study argues that air power serves as a vital element in maintaining regional stability, particularly considering escalating geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing Russia–Ukraine conflict. It also underscores the need for enhanced coordination among the V4 countries to address shared security challenges and strengthen their collective defence posture. This analysis contributes to the discourse on regional security, highlighting the critical role of air force modernisation in fostering resilience and ensuring stability in Central and Eastern Europe.

Expanding on the conclusions of the first two parts in this series, several aspects of the further capability management process are examined in this article. After having assessed that the recent procurement decisions and the first steps towards a true capability have been prudently taken by the Hungarian Defence Forces, possible options for the way forward are considered and potential future steps proposed. The path towards a solid GBAD capability has been taken; now it will be essential to stay on track and prepare consequent and reasonable steps for the short- and medium-term future.

The ever-changing security environment and the experience of the war in Ukraine not only underlined the importance of a strong defence force but also highlighted the need for effective national resilience. The development of national resilience, the building and operation of the system cannot be imagined without the support of the Hungarian Defence Forces. At the same time, the use of conventional military capabilities takes resources away from training and preparation that can be highly photogenic in the execution of the basic tasks of the force. At the same time, special operations forces can be an appropriate solution for building national resilience. Effective national resilience can also be a deterrent to conventional armed conflict. Recent legislative changes will make the policy-making process simpler, more transparent and faster and will allow for the effective development of national resilience.

Teaching methods are constantly evolving, and the amount of teaching material is increasing year by year. The more effective acquisition of the expanding range of knowledge and the easier understanding can be greatly facilitated by the illustrative materials and educational aids, produced by 3D printing. In our article, we briefly describe the main characteristics of basic teaching methods and the advantages of using novel 3D technology in education, especially in military officer training.

following the construction of the flood protection systems and their development, several phenomena have developed on the embankments as a consequence of the receding flood waves. The following article presents the phenomena developed on the flood protection lines and flood control structures of the Körös Rivers. This information was collected, structured and categorised to better assess the flood protection lines. With the collected data, as well as with data from other sources (such as geomechanics, modelling) recommendations can be made on where and what kind of investment should be made in order to increase flood protection safety.

While these technologies reduce human casualties and enhance operational efficiency, they raise critical ethical and legal questions about accountability, autonomy, and the future of human-soldier roles. Robots are ideal for use in military operations because they can perform such tasks that are too dangerous for humans. Robots can be used to traverse dangerous terrain, locate and eliminate threats, and support and supply troops on the ground. They can also be used to protect troops from enemy fire and can serve as decoys to draw fire away from troops. In addition, robots can be used to provide intelligence and real-time information on the battlefield that can be used to make strategic decisions. This paper examines the evolution of military robotics, analyses current battlefield applications, and evaluates the moral challenges posed by autonomous systems, advocating for urgent regulatory frameworks.
