Bundeswehr prepares troops for potential war with Russia

Germany has launched large-scale preparations for a potential conflict with Russia, which, according to experts, could have a more significant impact on the country than the war in Ukraine.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

According to the publication, the German Armed Forces have begun to actively implement a strategic document called the Operation Germany Plan.

The document of about 1000 pages contains detailed instructions in case of military operations. It lists infrastructure facilities that are subject to special protection, as well as prescribes actions in defense and crisis. In the event of tensions on NATO's eastern flank, Germany will become a key center for the transfer of troops, military equipment, food and medicine.

Special attention was paid to the role of business. At the meeting in Hamburg, Lieutenant Colonel Jörn Plischke recommended that companies train their employees in skills that could be useful in a crisis situation, such as truck driving.

“70% of truck drivers in Germany are Eastern Europeans. In the event of a war, they may simply not be in the country,” Plischke said.

The Bundeswehr is also urging companies to develop contingency plans, including ensuring autonomous power supply, for example, through diesel generators. Talks have already been held in Hamburg with representatives of trade, industry and agriculture. Similar events are being organized across the country.
