Italia. Consistenza delle Forza Armate . Analisi della situazione

The Military Balance traccia il seguente quadro in merito alle Forze Armate Italiane nel 2019.

Italy is concerned by security challenges in the Euro-Atlantic environment, as well as from Europe’s southern flank. The 2017–19defence plan, building on the 2015 defence white paper, outlined

a goal to reduce personnel numbers and improve joint activitybetween the services. NATO member Italy takes part in the Alliance’sair-policing mission and since early 2017 has deployed toLatvia as part of the Enhanced Forward Presence.

 The EUNAVFORMED force is headquartered in Rome, while the US Navy 6th Fleet is based in Naples. Italian forces are well equipped and trained, though the white paper indicated a desire to improve joint training.

The country takes part in and hosts NATO and other multinational exercises and continues to support NATO, EU and UN operations abroad. However, Italy is planning to gradually reduce its presence overseas to focus on Europe’s southern flank. Italy’s logistics capability is enabled by a fleet of medium transport aircraft and tankers. The white paper detailed capability-enhancement programmes including upgrades to main battle tanks and procurement of armoured fighting vehicles, counter-UAV systems and electronic-warfare capabilities. The expected retirement of much of the naval fleet has triggered a long-term replacement plan; funds are still being allocated for the FREMM frigate programme. F-35As have been ordered for the air force (and F-35Bs for naval aviation). Italy has an advanced defence industry, producing equipment across all the domains, with particular strengths

in shipbuilding and aircraft and helicopter manufacturing. The country hosts Europe’s F-35 final assembly and check-out facility at Cameri. Italy takes part in European defence-industrial cooperation projects, including PESCO projects
