Exercise Steadfast Defender is to deter Russia. It's the alliance's largest since the end of the Cold War, involving 90,000 military personnel and taking place right across Europe's eastern flank over the next few months. Steadfast Defender is also the first test of Nato's new military plans - designed to move troops and equipment at speed and scale to bolster any ally under attack.

Preparing for China: Military firepower on show in the Pacific | 60 Minutes Australia Where do you think the next great threat to world peace will come from? Iran perhaps? Or Iraq? Maybe a cave somewhere in the Afghan mountains? Well, there are some who believe that China, the newest superpower on the world block, is the country to watch.
