NATO’s Response Capability
31/03/2025
English edition of the Spanish Defence Magazine number 18
The cover story of Issue No. 18 of the English edition of the Spanish Defence Magazine focuses on NATO's largest annual exercise, Steadfast Dart 25. Conducted in Southeastern Europe, it marked the first activation of the NATO Response Force and featured a significant contribution from the Spanish Armed Forces.
This edition also includes coverage of the visits by the Minister of Defence, Margarita Robles, to Romania and Turkey, where she thanked the Spanish contingents deployed under the NATO framework for their service.
Two interviews are featured: one with Javier Colomina, NATO’s Special Representative for the Southern Neighbourhood, and another with Admiral Núñez Torrente, the Spanish representative to the Military Committees of both NATO and the European Union.
In the opinion section, Admiral General Antonio Piñeiro, Chief of the Navy, shares his perspective on the Navy 2050 document, while General Jesús Gómez Pardo writes about the Technological Development and Experimentation Centre (CETEDEX) in Jaén, which aims to address the need for new military capabilities linked to disruptive technologies.
An in-depth analysis explores the situation in Sudan, currently embroiled in a civil war that has resulted in thousands of deaths and displacements, with little hope for a peace agreement.
In the anniversaries section, the magazine recalls Detachment Ícaro, which was deployed 30 years ago to Aviano (Italy) as part of NATO’s air operations during the Balkans conflict. The culture pages highlight the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Pavia, a confrontation that helped lay the foundations for Spanish dominance in Europe.
