NATO ready to fight "tonight". Here are the details of the strategy

“We will continue to prepare and practice.”

During his speech at the Warsaw Security Forum, General Grynkewich presented NATO's "victory strategy" - a plan for managing the forces of the Alliance countries so as to effectively deter a potential aggressor and, in the event of an attack, repel his actions.

If we are attacked, we are ready to fight tonight, but we will not become complacent. We will continue to prepare and practice every day, and tomorrow we will be even more ready, and the day after tomorrow - even more - assured General Grynkewich.

How will NATO react in the event of aggression?

Speaking about the potential scenario, the commander noted that in the first phase, NATO land forces are to dominate the attack at the point of contact, tie the enemy's formations with a maneuver and prevent them from occupying the territory of the Alliance.

He added that the air force and navy, working together with space and cyber forces, are to quickly gain an advantage in the air and at sea. Then, using advanced sensors, autonomous systems and forces operating in multiple domains, NATO is to deny the attacker the opportunity to gain momentum and take the initiative, he explained.

General Grynkewich assured that if the enemy continues the attack or introduces reserves into the fight, the Alliance is to destroy not only the attacking forces, but also everything that supports, supplies and commands them.

"The Alliance will not be caught off guard"

The commander emphasized that the strategy is not a plan in the military sense of the word, but a common vision of how to win in deterrence and defense. He noted that it is based on the strategy adopted by all 32 NATO countries, known as the Deterrence and Defense Concept of the Euro-Atlantic Area (DDA), as well as on the experience of modern wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.
