Russia may launch limited attack on NATO 'as early as tomorrow' — German general
Reuters reported the information.A high-ranking German military official has warned that Russia has the immediate capacity for a limited attack against NATO, with any decision to act depending heavily on the Western allies' posture."If you look at Russia's current capabilities and combat power, Russia could kick off a small-scale attack against NATO territory as early as tomorrow," Lieutenant General Alexander Sollfrank, head of Germany's joint operations command, said.Sollfrank, who oversees Germany's defense planning, clarified that such an attack would not be a full-scale invasion, as Moscow's military is heavily engaged in its war in Ukraine."Small, quick, regionally limited, nothing big - Russia is too tied down in Ukraine for that," he stated.However, the general also echoed wider NATO assessments that Russia could be postured for a large-scale assault on the 32-member alliance as early as 2029 if its current armament efforts are sustained.While Russian dictator Vladimir Putin denies aggressive intentions, Sollfrank detailed that Moscow's military is not entirely depleted. He noted that despite setbacks in Ukraine, Russia's air force, nuclear forces, and missile capabilities remain substantial. While the Black Sea Fleet has suffered losses, other naval fleets have not been reduced."The ground forces are suffering losses, but Russia says it aims to boost its total troop numbers to 1.5 million soldiers," Sollfrank said. "And Russia has enough main battle tanks to make a limited attack conceivable as early as tomorrow."The general emphasized that whether Moscow would actually choose to launch an attack is contingent on the alliance's own deterrence."These three factors lead me to the conclusion that a Russian attack is in the realm of the possible. Whether it will happen or not depends to a large extent on our own behaviour," he added.Sollfrank also framed Russia's "non-linear warfare"—such as hybrid tactics and drone incursions—as part of a cohesive strategy to challenge the alliance. He described this as "warfare by intimidation," designed to "foster insecurity, spread fear, to do damage, to spy and to test" NATO's resilience.Sweden’s top commander stated that NATO allies must radically accelerate innovation and learn from Ukraine’s battlefield adaptations, or they risk defeat in a potential future conflict with Russia.
