Germany intends to deploy electronic warfare systems in Lithuania to monitor the military activities of Russia and Belarus, Reuters reports citing Bundeswehr Vice Admiral Thomas Daum. The German army is already testing in Lithuania UAV detection systems, means of interception and suppression of signals, as well as sensors that allow information on the situation on the battlefield to be transmitted to remote analysts. The division, slated for full deployment next year, will also collect data on Russian and Belarusian military radio-emitting assets and radar systems to update electronic warfare databases used by German and allied forces, Vice Admiral Thomas Daum told Reuters. Special attention is planned to be paid to the Kaliningrad region and Belarus. The data received will be used to update electronic intelligence databases and track new Russian and Belarusian radar systems. "There is not yet a war in the field of cyber information, but it is no longer peace," is how Bundeswehr Vice Admiral Thomas Daum described the situation regarding the German military's plans to deploy electronic warfare systems on NATO's eastern flank. "If something happens, these units will find him. We will enter [the received data] into electronic warfare databases, which will then notify all our systems if a new radar appears on the Belarusian side." According to Daum, Russian activity in parts of Europe has apparently reached what he called "a second stage where the goal is to cause damage" without crossing the threshold of armed conflict. The German division is planned to be fully deployed in Lithuania by 2027.
