The Federal Republic of Germany, as well as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, must be fully prepared for war in five years. To do this, it is necessary to strengthen the army, as well as change the mentality.

As NBN reports, the Ukrinform material states that such a statement was made by Bundeswehr Inspector General Carsten Breuer in an interview with Welt am Sonntag.
General I am fully convinced that the time for the Bundeswehr to achieve combat readiness is not endless.
The statement announced to the publication by Breuer says the following:
For the first time since the end of the Cold War, the threat of a possible war has arisen from the outside. When I follow the analytics, I see the potential of a military threat emanating from the Russian Federation; for us this means five to eight years of preparation. This does not mean that there will be war, but it is possible. And since I am a military man, I say that in five years we must be ready for war.
Recall that we previously wrote that Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg assessed the duration of the likely confrontation between NATO and Russia.
