German special forces are "very specifically" preparing for a possible war with Russia. This was reported by Bild according to the commander of the German Special Operations Command (KSK), Andreas Kühne. Previously, special forces planned operations for approximately three days. Now, they are training to operate for extended periods in field conditions without a set timeframe, to counter tanks, artillery, drones, and electronic warfare systems, and to operate in extreme cold. The KSK has approximately 1,500 soldiers, and one-third of them are special forces. In the event of a war, they are tasked with carrying out missions until the arrival of the German armored brigade stationed in Lithuania. According to Kühne, the soldiers can be deployed from Stuttgart within four hours – with all the necessary equipment. During exercises in the Baltic countries, Germany has already demonstrated the capabilities of the KSK. Kühne believes that Moscow must understand the price of an attack on NATO: it should be so high that Russia would think twice before attacking.
