OR Germany She admits the existence of serious problems in her own anti -aircraft defense, and in particular in protecting her airspace by Drone attacks, with the outgoing Chief of Army Alfon Massis, referring to “one of the greatest weaknesses of the German armed forces”. At the same time, he does not consider Germany to accept such a threat as in the case of Poland.
As he said, the German Armed Forces are expected to acquire the Skyranger anti -aircraft defense system soon, and until then until then the only option to deal with hostile dressing threats is to activate fighter aircraft in coordination with armored tanks.
2029 and 100,000 soldiers
At the same time, according to Mace’s internal document, in which he analyzes the security situation and has been aware of the Reuters agency, the German army, who is still in the reconstitution phase, needs a total of about 100,000 additional soldiers to be able to meet the NATO targets that set in June.
In particular, as Mace points out in that letter, addressed to the German Armed Forces Inspector General and is dated September 2, in any case Germany should increase the active soldiers by 2029 by 45,000.
According to NATO estimates, Russia in 2029 could be able to make a major attack on the Western allies, according to the N-TV network. Mace has also repeatedly warned the German network, of the Russian threat and the “urgent need” to become Germany “adequately ready by 2029”.
His words, however, seem to contradict the plans of Defense Ministry Boris Pistorius, who had stated last June that Germany needed 80,000 – and not 100,000 – additional soldiers in all three armed forces to meet the new targets.
Mace is renewed to leave his post in September, something that had already been known in early July.
