Be prepared for a possible invasion of Russiawarned German General Carsten Breuer the countries – members of NATO.
As the general said in an interview with the BBC, Russia produces hundreds of battle tanks per yearmany of which could be used for an attack on NATO members in the Baltic countries by 2029 or earlier.
Elsewhere he stressed this possible threat is the most serious that NATO has accepted last 40 years.
‘Not every chariot goes to the war in Ukrainebut also goes to stocks and new military structures that always face the West, “he commented on at least 1,500 Russian tanks produced in one year.
Russia also produced 4 million artillery bullets Of the 152mm in 2024, and not all will go to Ukraine, Breuer added.
“Analysts estimate that it will happen in 2029. So we must be ready by 2029. If you ask me now, is this a guarantee that it will not be earlier than 2029? I would say no, it’s not. Therefore, We need to be able to fight tonight“, He continued.
Many have been worrying about an attack on a NATO member country lately, as it could cause a bigger war between Russia and the US, a key member of NATO.
In accordance with Article 5 of NATO Agreement, Any attack on a Member State would mean that other members would have to come to defend it.
As for Russia’s possible goal, the general mentioned the so -called Suwalki Gapan area bordering Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Belarus.
Moscow also sees the war with Ukraine as a “continuation” in a wider conflict with NATO and therefore “tries to find ways to enter our defense lines and test them”.
But as Western military and political leaders are ready for the battle, they remain questions about whether this is a case where ambitions go beyond reality.
It will take years for Europe’s military industrial base to raise speed to reach the scale of armament that Russia produces.
