Top generals from NATO have warned that Vladimir Putin could attack targets across Europe in a total war against the West.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Allied commanders told British publication &#8220;The Times&#8221; that the bloc may only have three years to prepare for a potential Russian offensive on European soil, which would include attacks on civilian and military infrastructure behind front lines to hinder war efforts.<\/p>\n<p>They said that Germany would likely be selected as the central &#8220;hub&#8221; for NATO&#8217;s continental supply lines and that targets could range from ammunition factories and command centers to power plants, railroads, and bridges.<\/p>\n<p>Russia has already used similar tactics during the invasion of Ukraine, launching missiles far from Ukrainian territory, while Ukraine itself responded by targeting ammunition depots, fuel depots, and command posts.<\/p>\n<p>Lieutenant General Alexander Sollfrank, the commander of NATO&#8217;s southwestern Germany military logistics center, said: &#8220;If we compare war and operations from ten years ago or even five years ago, then we realize that we have to accept that even rear areas will be heavily affected.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We have to assume that an aggressor will use the full spectrum of kinetic and non-kinetic forces to destroy communication lines, including in rear areas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>This ranges from acts of sabotage, to electronic and cyber warfare, and even kinetic capabilities such as missiles, drones, and so on,&#8221; the NATO general said.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The NATO general urged world leaders to reduce the bureaucracy that hinders countries&#8217; ability to use weapons and technology from another nation.<\/p>\n<p>Sollfrank said that the rules about who can use what equipment, known as &#8220;interoperability&#8221;, have significantly slowed down response times.<\/p>\n<p>He gave an example of paratroopers who are legally forbidden from using parachutes made for another nation&#8217;s military, even if they are functionally identical.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Where&#8217;s the issue, for example, with a paratrooper from European nation A using a parachute from neighboring nation B after being trained with that system, or attaching equipment from one country to a helicopter from another? If there&#8217;s no technical or security issue, then why not?&#8221; he asked.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Reducing the seemingly inherent bureaucracy of multinational organizations is crucial in ensuring that NATO is agile enough to fight against Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/adevarul.ro\/stiri-externe\/europa\/generali-nato-putin-ar-putea-lovi-tinte-din-2335536.html\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Western countries are already concerned that Russia might violate the security of European states.
