US EditionGermany readies massive defence plan to counter possible Russia threat: Report
Germany’s 1,200-page Operation Plan Germany enables rapid movement of 800,000 NATO troops through aging infrastructure amid warnings of a Russian strike by 2028, officials say.
- Germany's Bundeswehr drew up a classified wartime logistics blueprint called Operation Plan Germany to enable NATO to surge up to 800,000 troops across German territory.
- German officials warn Russia is rapidly building arsenals despite the Ukraine war, and Boris Pistorius, German Defence Minister, said `Military experts and intelligence services can roughly estimate when Russia will have rebuilt its armed forces enough to strike a NATO member in the east`.
- OPLAN DEU calls for close civilian‑military integration and private support, naming Rheinmetall and Quantum Systems to provide camps, supplies, and drones despite legal limits on drone use.
- At the end of September, Hamburg State Command ran Red Storm Bravo, where a training convoy covered less than ten kilometres in two hours; OPLAN DEU is under continual revision as stress tests reveal obstacles.
- The blueprint marks a return to a Cold War‑style posture with an all‑of‑society defence model, and a senior Bundeswehr officer said its aim is deterrence and major infrastructure upgrades.

Germany is implementing a massive defense plan to prepare for a possible war with Russia, which includes moving up to 800,000 NATO troops through its territory, according to a leaked 1,200-page Bundeswehr document.
