It is noted that within the framework of the "Red Storm Bravo" maneuvers, military personnel, columns of cargo vehicles, mobile hospitals will be stationed in the city, and helicopters will also be involved. This will be the second such training after exercises in 2024.
The scenario envisages an attack from Russia. NATO troops must be quickly transferred from Western Europe to the eastern flank: the Baltic States and Poland
The publication points out that in this sense, Hamburg, which has a strategic port, performs an important function as a logistics hub. According to some reports, a total of 800,000 people may be involved in the exercises.
This is what distinguishes the current situation from the Cold War. Then Germany was considered a potential war zone, today it acts as a rear area for the deployment of NATO forces
According to the publication, the exercises also include the evacuation of "victims", "emergency medical care" and the simulation of rallies that require a response from the military.
According to experts, a Russian attack could indeed happen within four to five years.
"The threat is real. We are already facing attacks on our infrastructure," the military added.
Let us remind you
On the eve of the NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that it is obvious to all countries of the Alliance that Russia is a long-term threat, even if the war between Ukraine and Russia ends. According to him, "no one is naive about Russia."
