NATO braces for potential 2029 conflict with Russia

The looming threat of war between Russia and NATO forces Alliance countries to prepare for such an eventuality. Germany has just prepared a defence plan in case of an invasion by Putin's troops. It anticipates a conflict in 2029. By then, the Kremlin could have up to 1.5 million soldiers.

A NATO war with Russia is one of the darkest scenarios that could come true in the coming years. Experts and politicians have started to point to such a possibility, which is why Poland and other Baltic countries are already arming themselves to the teeth. Germany is also preparing for a possible conflict with Moscow. They have created a plan in case of a Russian attack in 2029.

Will Russia attack NATO? Germany has a plan

According to Carsten Breuer, Chief Inspector of the Bundeswehr, Russia could have up to 1.5 million soldiers by 2029. This is more than all European Union countries combined, thereby necessitating a defence plan in case of an invasion.

Breuer believed that Germany would become the logistical centre of Europe as it would have to transport troops and equipment to the East. A potential Putin attack would start in the Baltic states or Poland, as Breuer is convinced that "Russia will not stop in Ukraine."

German newspapers Bild and Spiegel reported that Germany had a plan in case of a Moscow attack. The plan, which spans several hundred pages, is the first such document in 30 years. It envisages that in the case of a Russian offensive, 800,000 NATO soldiers and about 200,000 weapons will pass through Germany.

The A2 highway from Oberhausen in the western part of the country to the Berlin bypass will be used for transport. However, the Bundeswehr is preparing an alternative route if the A2 is destroyed.

The German military would also focus on organizing logistics - fuel, food, and medicine. Implementing the plan would likely involve blocking civilian transport in important German regions.

Our western neighbour experiences firsthand how Russia may try to influence the situation in the country. Russian services reportedly planned an attack on Rheinmetall defence contractor head Armin Papperger. The man currently has assigned protection. This only shows how determined the Kremlin is to spread terror beyond Ukraine's borders.
