Germany 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.
