Utoo Radio with Other News Sources - September 25, 2024 - NATO is developing mass evacuation and rescue plans for a future war with Russia, according to Lieutenant-General Alexander Sollfrank, head of NATO's logistics command.

The German general warned that an all-out war with Russia would likely result in heavy losses across a large battlefield. Russia's air force and rocket and missile stockpiles make medical evacuations via aircraft too risky, forcing NATO's troops to operate 'hospital trains' to extract wounded en masse.

Sollfrank's warning comes as the German military expects Russia to attack a NATO country as soon as 2029.

Sollfrank runs NATO's Joint Support and Enabling Command (JSEC), which coordinates the swift movement of troops and tanks across Europe and logistical preparations such as the storage of munitions on NATO's eastern flank.

Since Vladimir Putin sent his troops streaming across the border with Ukraine in February 2022, relations between Russia and the West have plunged to lows not seen since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

This forced Sollfrank and JSEC to confront the possibility of a major land war in Europe, and the unit began planning its approach to medical evacuations accordingly.

NATO is also working on plans for how to deploy American troops to the frontlines of Europe in the event of an all-out conflict with Russia. New 'land corridors' are being carved out to quickly funnel soldiers through central Europe without local bureaucratic impediments, allowing NATO forces to pounce in an instant should Putin's devastating war in Ukraine move further west.

Many of NATO's member states in Europe have launched rearmament campaigns in the past two years, with countries ramping up defense spending, signing major arms contracts, and enacting legislation to boost their military capabilities.
