Berlin (Reuters) -Germany’s armed forces, a large -scale conflict between NATO and Russia, and a long -standing warnings that Moscow could start an attack from 2029 onwards is planning how to treat a 1,000 injured soldier per day.
Moscow rejected proposals that it could be prepared for a war with the Western military alliance, but the latest attacks of Russian jets and drones on the NATO region increased their fears of climbing.
Germany’s surgeon General Ralf Hoffmann said that the number of wounded troops in a potential conflict was involved in the intensity of the war and which military units.
“We’re talking about about 1,000 injured unity figures per day,” he told Reuters, “realisticly.”
European troops, including medical services, organized preparations for potential conflict with Moscow in 2022, Russia’s largest conflict since the Second World War of Russia.
Germany is also constantly adapting his medical education by combining lessons from the war in Ukraine.
Hof The nature of the war has changed significantly in Ukraine, Hou Hoffmann said, referring to the transition to wounds and burns caused by drones and loitering ammunition from firearm injuries.
Since Ukrainian soldiers can quickly detect and neutralize the targets of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) deployed by both sides, they define the corridor invaded by the drone covering both sides of the façade.
Hoffmann said, “Ukrainians can’t quickly evacuate their wounded because the drones are making overweight everywhere,” said Hoffmann, underlined the need for wounded soldiers – sometimes for hours – long -term stabilization.
Hoffmann, Ukraine’s hospital trains said. For this reason, the German army is looking at hospital trains and buses and expanding the medical evacuation by air.
Hoffmann added that the wounded would be treated first on the front before moving back to Germany for maintenance in civil hospitals.
He estimated that approximately 15,000 hospital beds were needed from the total capacity of German hospitals.
The authority added that the German army will be expanded to meet future demands.
