NATO’s Plan to Deploy 800,000 troops Against Russia

NATO is preparing to transport 800,000 soldiers and 200,000 armored vehicles to the border with Russia in the event of full scale war. The publication Der Spiegel just reported this after gaining access to secret military documents. Russia, North Korea, Iran, and China, have contingency plans just like this one. But moving that many troops would be a massive undertaking unlike anything we’ve seen in recent history. How does NATO plan to achieve that goal? What challenges are there to deploying that many soldiers across the world? And what are some of the strengths and weaknesses of a collective defense alliance?

Key to understanding NATO’s plan are five new transportation routes, each one centered around a different port where transport ships filled with troops and vehicles would arrive. The stated reason for the creation of these new movement corridors is because Russia’s long range missiles could destroy ports, bridges or bases. Looking at this map we can see that all of Europe is within range of many types of Russian ballistic missiles. This would severely limit transportation options and could make mobilizing troops under the current plan unsustainable.

If you want peace, prepare for war. Or at least that's what NATO claims. critics point out this kind of preparation unnecessarily provokes Russia and breaks treaties and agreements. What do you think?

Every American watching the video: "Light work. Won't even need a bathroom break."

Napoleon and Hitler know how they fared with Russia

Born too late to be a caribean pirate. Born too early to be a space pirate. Born just in time to witness World War 3.

Too bad most people who saw season one won't be with us when season 3 drops 😢

Cappy known for mispronouncing every word in the dictionary, somehow managed to pronounce Rzeszów almost perfectly. I find that more impressive than 800k troops being moved across the ocean.

[gianmarcoconte]

Funny how everyone thinks ww3 won't be nuclear

[ChairmanMeow]

As much as 800K soldiers is, in Operation Barbarossa in WW2, Germany sent 3.3 MILLION troops east into Russia. WW2 was so absolutely nuts its hard to believe parts of it happened.

[HanSolo__]

For those who did not believe Poland would form a 300k size army. We are already ahead of the planned elargment.

[Maxammo]

I have over 4000 logged combat hours in HOI4, I think I can handle this one buddy.

[paulgonzalez]

When you realize Germany has been on the losing side in every world war and now they're on our side.

[Fragender]

If they ever transport something through German railway, it will only arrive after the war has ended

“If we were really interested in peace we’d stop inventing roads” lol

[Duduzule]

You are dreaming. NATO do not even have 800, 000 combined troops, never mind 200, 000 armored vehicles.

[srivera]

Squad leader calling you “redundant” was such an underrated joke 😂😂

[KrisWustrow]

Forgot to mention that Hungary announced that, even as a NATO member, no foreign troops or military assets will be stationed on its land.

[Deragaergadgfadsfasd]

It would be really funny if NATO leaked those documents on the War Thunder forums.

[robkh]

It is stupid idea. It will be MAD soon.
