NATO is creating multiple land corridors for the rapid deployment of 300,000 troops in the event of a full-scale conflict with Russia. Greece plays a key role in NATO plans.
“As we monitored and assessed Russia’s military activities in Ukraine, we noticed that Russia was targeting Ukrainian logistics bases ,” said Lt. Gen. Alexander Solfrank, head of NATO’s Joint Logistics Command (JSEC), explaining the need for multiple deployed alternative routes to the transport of equipment and troops across Europe.
According to him, large logistics bases do not make sense as they could be attacked in the event of a conflict.
In this light and citing the experience from Iraq and Afghanistan, Solfrank emphasizes that it would be completely untenable to create large logistics bases as they could very easily become targets.
He says the new plan has been drawn up with such risks in mind and includes the creation of “sustainable” transport chains.
Solfrank also noted that the alliance’s existing air defense systems “will always be inadequate” to protect all key logistics hubs and other important and vulnerable targets in Europe. As War News 24/7 revealed yesterday, NATO currently has “less than 5%” of the capability needed to defend its so-called eastern flank with Russia in the event of a “full-scale attack”.
For this reason, several land corridors are being created, which, if necessary, will replace the main corridor, which involves the landing of American troops in the port of Rotterdam and their transport to Poland via Holland and Germany.
The four “land corridors” of NATO
According to the NATO general, the presence of alternative routes for the movement of troops will give NATO “flexibility” in case of war.
Four alternative paths are already ready for this case:
A) Italy – Slovenia – Croatia – Hungary.
B) Greece – Bulgaria – Romania
C) Turkey – Bulgaria – Romania
D) Norway – Sweden – Finland.
NATO must also remove bureaucratic obstacles in Europe and introduce a “military Schengen” on European soil.
NATO: “Transfer of forces against Russia from Greek ports”
“NATO is developing multiple ‘land corridors’ to send US troops and armor to the front line in the event of a major European land war with Russia ,” British media reports.
“American troops will arrive at one of five ports and proceed along pre-planned logistical routes to counter a possible attack from Moscow,” NATO officials revealed to the Telegraph.
NATO’s plan makes Italy, Greece and Turkey one of the prime targets of a nuclear Russia, with whatever that entails:
“If NATO forces entering from the Netherlands are hit by Russian bombing or northern European ports are destroyed, the Alliance is going to turn to ports in Italy, Greece and Turkey.
From Italian ports, US troops could be moved through Slovenia and Croatia to Hungary, which shares a border with Ukraine.
Similar plans exist to transport forces from Turkish and Greek ports through Bulgaria and Romania to reach the eastern side of the alliance.”
