Bundeswehr Inspector General Breuer: “We have to be ready for war in five years”. In "five to eight years" it could be possible that Russia attacks a NATO country, says Boris Pistorius.
In view of this threat, the Inspector General of the Bundeswehr, Carsten Breuer, believes it is necessary for the army to become "war-ready" within five years. Germany wants to keep 35,000 soldiers on high alert for NATO's new deterrence and defense strategy.
