Germany Strengthens NATO’s Eastern Flank Against Russia
Germany is deploying its 45th Armoured Brigade to Lithuania, strengthening NATO’s military presence on the alliance’s eastern flank amid growing concerns over the threat posed by Russia.
The deployment marks the first permanent deployment of a German combat brigade abroad since World War II, representing a major shift in Berlin’s defense policy.
The brigade will form a key part of NATO’s deterrence and defense posture in the Baltic region.
