BERLIN, Sept 25 (Reuters) - NATO plans to coordinate the transport of a large number of wounded troops away from front lines in case of a war with Russia, potentially via hospital trains as air evacuations may not be feasible, according to a senior general. The future scenario for medical evacuations will differ from allies' experience in Afghanistan and Iraq, Lieutenant-General Alexander Sollfrank, the head of NATO's logistics command, told Reuters in an interview. In a conflict with Russia, Western militaries would likely be faced with a much larger war zone, a higher number of injured troops and at least a temporary lack of air superiority close to the front lines, the German general said. "The challenge will be to swiftly ensure high-quality care for, in the worst case, a great number of wounded," he said without specifying how many injured troops NATO would expect. The planning for medical evacuations is part of a much broader drive by NATO, prompted by Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, to overhaul and boost its ability to deter and defend against any Russian assault….

Yup... They are so so fearful. LMFAO
Russia used to be a bear... Now it’s more like a wounded cub.
They don’t even have an aircraft carrier... There are 47 active aircraft carriers in the world... And Russia has none of them. United States has 11 bristling with armaments that could wipe out the Russian military within a matter of days.
POUND THOSE WAR DRUMS!! Mo’ money…mo’ blood… mo’ funerals
Have you volunteered for the infantry yet? NATO needs people eager to close with and destroy the enemy.
bristling with armaments. lmao
Yup... They are so so fearful. LMFAO. Russia used to be a bear... Now it’s more like a wounded cub.
I also suspect that if Trump wins, Biden will hand him a full-blown war with Russia to deal with.
Yet we can’t seem to eliminate the Houthis in Yemen or the Taliban.
I am getting the sense some in the British “establishment” are behind this all.
Which don't work anymore.
Russia’s new Sarmat ballistic missile ‘blows up during test launch’
Nope....there are 20 aircraft carriers. The rest are helicopter carriers.
United States has 11 bristling with armaments that could wipe out the Russian military within a matter of days.
Pray tell....just what are those armaments the carriers are bristling with??
NATO ramps up to start WWIII.
Which don’t work anymore.
I am getting the sense some in the British “establishment” are behind this all.
Convenient, eh?
They are never going to use their nukes... Putin has probably already pleaded with his command structure to do so already... And their answer is always Nyet!
Putin may be suicidal... Thankfully the Russian leadership isn’t.
You’re absolutely right. Except for the motives you cite I am at a complete loss why there should be so much talk of wwiii in Europe. With Russian military assets so severely degraded, what would they realistically hope to gain by trying to reconsider their Eastern European empire?
Less likely wars, like the strategic bombing of Andorra were probably knocked off in an afternoon as a class exercise for some captain.
They don’t even have an aircraft carrier.

Aircraft Carriers are obsolete, both Russia and China have hypersonics ( the US has none to date) that will easily send them to the bottom. In addition, both Russia and China have supersonic torpedoes, again, the US has none.
I suggest you acquire the latest Jane’s Defense handbook and do some research. That said, both Russia and China don’t need carriers, their only purpose is to project very limited power half way across the globe- which I don’t see happening.
Snake, you do know that what was shown was a test of a new launch vehicle and it certainly had no real nuclear weapon on it. Just sayin’.
