The article notes that in recent months Germany, together with its allies, has faced a rise in hybrid attacks, including espionage by Russia, cyberattacks, and attempts to influence political institutions, critical infrastructure, and public opinion. German military planners warn that these actions may be preparation for a broader military escalation.
The developed plan outlines how Germany would act in the event of a conflict. Against the backdrop of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, Berlin has taken on a key role in logistics and planning reinforcements for NATO, which increases its strategic importance.
The document treats cyberattacks and information operations not as background pressure, but as part of a military escalation scenario. In the event of escalation, Germany is seen as an operational base and transit corridor for Alliance forces.
The plan also emphasizes that in the event of a conflict, Germany could become a priority target for long-range strikes aimed at both military facilities and civilian infrastructure. The main goal of the document is to coordinate the actions of civilian and military structures to ensure Germany’s role as a key NATO transit hub.
