🇩🇪🇱🇹🇧🇾🇷🇺 German military personnel will collect data on Belarusian radars and other sources of electronic signals. The data will be added to databases used by German and allied forces to detect changes in time. The German brigade permanently stationed in Lithuania will use electronic warfare assets for early warning of military activity in Belarus and Russia's Kaliningrad region. Vice Admiral Thomas Daum, head of the Bundeswehr's cyber forces, told Reuters about it. The brigade, which is scheduled to be fully deployed in 2027, will collect data on emission sources and radar systems of the Russian and Belarusian military. "If something happens, these units will detect it," Daum said. Regarding Belarus, one of the tasks is to notice the appearance of new radars and transfer this data to common electronic warfare databases. "We will enter this data into electronic warfare databases, and then flash: all our systems if a new radar appears on the Belarusian side," the vice admiral explained. The German army is currently testing in Lithuania means of detecting drones, intercepting signals and creating disturbances. Sensors that transmit data from the battlefield to analysts working remotely are also being tested. Daum links the need to strengthen these capabilities with Russian activity in Europe. In his estimation, in some parts of Europe, Russia has moved to a second stage, where the goal is already to cause damage without going into an armed conflict. In the previous phase, according to him, Russia's actions were aimed at secretly penetrating Western computer networks and establishing a foothold in them. "In the field of cyber information there is no war yet, but there is no peace either," stated Daum. In August, the German government approved measures designed to give the intelligence services additional powers to hack communications and disrupt the activities of foreign adversaries. They still need to be approved by parliament. German officials attribute these measures to the growing threat of cyber and hybrid attacks. Daum admitted that in previous decades Germany had invested little in new capabilities. "now... It is necessary to improve our capabilities," he said.
