Germany prepares to repel Russian attack on the Alliance

As part of the "Operational Plan Germany" (OPLAN DEU), the Bundeswehr, together with NATO allies, is developing a scheme for troop movements to eastern Europe in case of a possible Russian military attack on the Alliance countries. This is reported by Der Spiegel.

According to the plan, in case of an armed clash, through the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany allies will transfer to the east about 800 thousand personnel and about 200 thousand units of military equipment.

The key route from west to east in this case will be the A2 motorway from the town of Oberhausen in North Rhine-Westphalia to the Berlin ring road. At the moment, the Bundeswehr leadership is looking for weaknesses in this route and building its air defence. The possibilities of civilian infrastructure to receive and maintain such a large number of vehicles and military personnel are also being worked out.

The Hohenwarte bridge over the Elbe, which is almost 1,200 metres long, is considered the most bottleneck.

In the event of a sabotage or missile attack on it, the A2 motorway could become completely paralysed," the publication points out.

It is indicated that Germany intends to fully prepare for war with Russia until 2029. This was previously stated by German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius. In particular, he called for an increase in defence spending and constant training of troops.

Also, the country's medical infrastructure is being prepared for a possible armed conflict. Germany plans to become a hub for wounded Alliance troops.
