New issue of "ODBRANA"

More than 30 dead and about 250 wounded is the result of two terrorist attacks on Brussels, the capital of Belgium, but also of the European Union. Although the attack was carried out just a few days after the arrest of Saleh Abdeslam, one of the main suspects for the tragedy in Paris in November 2015, there is no terrorism expert who could say with certainty whether it was a revenge for the arrest of this former, Belgian petty criminal originating from Morocco, who has religiously radicalized since then, or an already planned attack whose performance was only accelerated by the arrest of a coordinator of events in the City of Light. That, as well as the training of members of the Special Brigade in the winter, making friends with the heavy steel monster of almost 42 tons, drill of guardsmen who rehearse for the upcoming Armed Forces Day, communication specialists from Nis who are keeping peace in Cyprus, weapons of unusual futuristic-looking design and the toughest and the most challenging mission of the Hungarian Air Force in the last 70 years, are the topics about which you can read in the new 253rd issue of Odbrana magazine.
