org_military
The Bundesver is described as Germany's armed forces undergoing significant expansion and modernization under Chancellor Friedrich Merz, with plans to increase personnel to 260,000 by 2035. It intends to acquire up to 500 drones with a range of 1,000 km for use alongside fighter jets and is considering mandatory military conscription for men starting in 2027 if voluntary enlistment proves insufficient. The Bundesver's deployment of around 5,000 troops to Lithuania near the Belarus border marks a historic move, reflecting its commitment to NATO obligations.
