- Breuer’s priorities include strengthening depleted air defenses to intercept drones, developing long-range precision strike capabilities, expanding electronic warfare, and building resilient space-based offensive and defensive systems.
- The directive calls for stockpiling all types of ammunition and cites funds made available by loosening Germany’s debt brake in March as supporting resources.
- This order reflects NATO priorities and implies Germany is preparing to counter increasing Russian military capabilities and potential aggression before 2029.
