Germany is stepping up its military readiness, aiming to fully equip its armed forces by 2029 amid rising concerns over future threats from Russia.

Germany’s Chief of Defence, Carsten Breuer, has issued a directive to prepare the country's military for full operational readiness by 2029. This move comes as NATO officials, including Breuer, warn that Russia could be capable of launching a large-scale attack on NATO territory by then. The directive prioritizes key areas such as air defense, deep precision strike capabilities, ammunition stockpiles, electronic warfare, and space-based systems.

Funding will be supported by relaxed fiscal rules introduced earlier this year. The document underscores Germany's intention to align more closely with NATO’s strategic goals amid a shifting security landscape.
