📉 According to him, despite current losses, the russian army retains its numbers, endurance, and combat experience, making it a long-term challenge. “In a conflict, the russian people will survive five minutes longer than we do,” he remarked.
🤝 At the same time, Burkhard expressed confidence that the United States will not leave Europe on its own. He also believes that a partnership between France, Germany, and the United Kingdom could form a “European pillar of NATO.”
🚀 The general emphasized the need to adapt armed forces to modern warfare. In his view, the decisive factor will be a combination of high-tech weapons—such as SCALP cruise missiles—with more affordable tools capable of wearing down the enemy.
🛰️ He also stressed the importance of developing drones and tactical approaches. According to Burkhard, the armies that succeed will be those that can effectively integrate drones into operations on land, in the air, and at sea.
