NATO, here training American soldiers, wants to prepare for a Russian attack.

For the first time since the end of the Cold War more than 30 years ago, NATO is apparently preparing for an attack by Russia. That is why the heads of state and government of the NATO countries want to approve secret military plans at a summit in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius in July. This is reported by the Reuters news agency.

The plans apparently aim to clearly define how NATO will respond to the defense alliance in the event of a Russian attack. According to Reuters, such plans have not existed since the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Now, however, NATO wants to sharply increase its state of preparedness again.

Admiral Rob Bauer, chairman of NATO’s military committee, told the news agency: “We must prepare for the fact that conflicts could arise at any time.”

Overall and regional plans

In addition to an overarching plan for the entire NATO area, various regional plans will also be adopted. With this, NATO wants to give the individual states guidelines on how the respective equipment of the armed forces and the processes within the logistics must be improved and modernised.

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg told Reuters: “The Allies will then know exactly what forces and capabilities are needed in the event of an attack, including the exact locations and other plans.” What exactly the plans look like is top secret.

The number of soldiers increased

One thing is clear: warfare has changed significantly since the end of the Cold War. NATO no longer expects large-scale attacks. The large-scale use of nuclear weapons also often takes a back seat. Instead, according to Reuters, NATO is preparing for regional attacks, the use of hypersonic missiles and a cyber war.

In June last year, NATO decided to significantly increase the number of rapid reaction forces. Until now, the NATO intervention force NRF consisted of some 40,000 soldiers. In the future there should be more than 300,000 soldiers.
