Germany ready to deploy 800,000 NATO troops in hypothetical war with Russia

Berlin, Nov 9 (UNI) Cranking up its militarisation, Germany is now preparing to deploy over 800,000 NATO troops towards the Russian border over fears of a potential conflict with Russia, said Lt Gen Alexander Sollfrank, Commander of the Bundeswehr's Joint Operations Command.
The hypothetical deployment is part of 'Operations Plan Germany', which was revealed last year. The 1,000-page-long document governs Berlin's response if Article 5 of the NATO treaty is triggered in a confrontation with Moscow.
It includes turning Berlin into a major logistics hub for the deployment of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and pieces of equipment from various NATO nations against a hypothetical scenario of military aggression from the Kremlin. The deployment must be completed within 180 days of the start of the conflict.
