00:01Chaque round est réveillé. Chaque impact est réveillé.
00:07La Belarus est juste 12 kilomètres près.
00:16Au final de l'année de l'année 2027,
00:19seraient près de 5 000 allemandes de l'Assemblée en Lithuania.
00:31Mais qui sont les hommes et les femmes derrière cette mission ?
00:52Zennelager near Paderborn in western Germany,
00:54juste après 9h00.
00:56Ici, le Tank Battalion 203, de Auguste,
00:59commence leur voyage à l'Augustov,
01:01où il va prendre part dans le multinational NATO exercise «FREEDOM SHIELD 1 ».
01:08Pour beaucoup de ces soldats,
01:10c'est plus qu'un autre exercice.
01:12En fin de l'année 2027,
01:14ils vont être déployés à Lithuania en stages
01:16en partie de l'Assemblée de l'Assemblée de l'Assemblée,
01:18environ 4'800 en total.
01:23Mais qui sont ces soldats qui vont aller à Lithuania ?
01:29Ici, nous rencontrons deux volontaires,
01:31qui ont reçu plusieurs années en Lithuania.
01:33Comme chaque interview,
01:34nous faisons avec des soldats,
01:35ce qui prendra aussi dans la présence de l'Assemblée de l'Assemblée.
01:40C'est leur premier long-term postage à l'Assemblée,
01:43et ça va les prendre à l'Assemblée de l'Assemblée.
01:47Bien sûr, on a toujours un sentiment de douleur,
01:49mais nous avons un objectif,
01:51et nous aurons un objectif,
01:52et nous aurons un objectif à 100% !
01:54Nous avons tous bien étudié,
01:56nous devons travailler pour le casse,
01:58nous devons travailler pour le casse,
02:00nous ne nous espérons pas,
02:01mais nous devons être prêt à faire ça.
02:02Nous devons être prêt à faire ça.
02:11environ 600 soldats servent avec du battalion 2 ou 3.
02:15Kevin, qui est un des rogi,
02:17qui est un des deux.
02:18D'ailleurs, que le battalion est allé,
02:21et que les parts de mon voyage,
02:23et que les unités,
02:25c'est clair que je suis avec moi.
02:27Et bien sûr,
02:28que dans un casse,
02:29nous devons faire tout ça.
02:42La Lituana brigade est toujours en train de se faire,
02:44mais le battalion 2 ou 3,
02:46c'est un des cinq battalions.
02:50Pour l'instant, le mouvement est volontaire,
02:52mais, comme la relocation se déroule,
02:54il y a des questions de l'avons,
02:55si les soldats suffisent,
02:56il y a des questions de l'avons,
02:59il y a des questions de l'avons,
02:59il faut pas dérouler.
03:00Il ne peut pas dérouler,
03:01si les chiffres se dérouler,
03:02si les chiffres ne se déroule.
03:03Alors,
03:03quelle est la situation dans le battalion 2 ou 3 ?
03:06C'est pour le battu,
03:08C'est probablement le plus important au travail de cette histoire.
03:13Nous nous avons une certaine sorte de démonitre.
03:19Mais nous ne prenons surtout pas la responsabilité,
03:21qui se fait dans ce cadre.
03:24Je peux parler de mon bataillon.
03:27La masse de soldats est libre, à l'invier de l'Ottawa.
03:31C'est ce que je veux dire.
03:34Je veux avoir des soldats à mon côté qui sont überzeugés de l'apprentissage
03:39et qui prennent l'apprentissage de l'apprentissage de l'apprentissage de l'apprentissage.
03:57Le Leopard 2 est l'un des mondes de l'apprentissage de l'apprentissage de l'apprentissage
04:01de l'apprentissage plus de 60 tonnes chaque cm,
04:04à l'apprentissage de l'apprentissage de l'apprentissage.
04:31Avant de l'apprentissage de l'apprentissage, nous sommes en train de passer à Berlin.
04:38Une question que nous avons demandé est,
04:41pourquoi l'on a décidé de créer une guerre brigade dans la ville ?
04:44Je suis en train de faire une action spéciale de l'apprentissage de l'apprentissage.
04:54Le gouvernement de l'apprentissage de l'apprentissage de l'apprentissage
05:15qui utilisent la même argument à justifier l'invasion de l'Ukraine 8 ans plus tard.
05:20Les russiens aussi vivent across les Baltic states.
05:24En Lithuania, ils font environ 5% de la population.
05:28Après l'illégal annexation de Crimea,
05:30Poland, Estonia, Latvia et Lithuania
05:32ont appelé pour une plus forte NATO présence
05:34à l'alliance.
05:36En réponse, NATO établiquait 4 multinational battlegroups en 2016,
05:41avec l'Allemagne le 1 en Lithuania.
05:43NATO et les gouvernementales ont dit qu'elle peut un jour
05:46attacquer les autres pays.
05:53Alors, qu'est-ce que ça veut dire pour l'Allemagne et la République ?
05:56Pour le savoir, nous allons aller au Parlement.
06:13On va voir la préparation de l'infrastructure,
06:14pour la stationnement de l'infrastructure,
06:16pour la stationnement de l'infrastructure direct à la NATO-Ost-Flanque.
06:18Nous voyons à plusieurs places la préparation de la réaction de l'infrastructure,
06:22et ce qui se fait contre les NATO-partners.
06:24Et c'est exactement le raison pour laquelle nous allons mettre
06:26avec notre brigade dans cette région.
06:31C'est parti pour la plume de l'infrastructure.
06:31En fin de l'infrastructure,
06:33le battalion de l'infrastructure 203
06:34va relater à Rudninkai,
06:36la brigade de l'infrastructure,
06:38la base de l'infrastructure 15 km
06:39du bord de l'infrastructure.
06:41Lithuania sees Belarus as a security threat.
06:44Russian forces launched part of their 2022 assault on Kyiv
06:48from Belarusian territory,
06:49and Moscow and Minsk continue to hold
06:51regular joint military exercises.
06:55Now, there are no direct attacks from Belarus,
06:59but from a military point of view,
07:01it's like a military backyard of Russia.
07:05They deploy a nuclear weapon,
07:07deploy an Orešnik,
07:09they're using our infrastructure,
07:13they have logistic capability,
07:15you know, to use Belarus.
07:20We travelled to Lithuania
07:22to see NATO's eastern flank for ourselves.
07:24For a week,
07:25we accompanied the Bundeswehr
07:26during exercise Freedom Shield
07:28and the Vigilant Owl mission,
07:30just a few kilometers from Belarus.
07:39Among the soldiers' training here
07:40are Kevin and Rogi
07:42from Tank Battalion 203.
07:45At the Paparada training area
07:47around an hour from Vilnius,
07:48the exercise enters its live-fire phase.
07:51Tanks and artillery have to work together.
08:16Overhead, a Eurofighter
08:18and two Tiger attack helicopters
08:20join the exercise.
08:35Kevin and Rogi have also completed their live-fire exercise.
08:39We weren't allowed to film alongside them.
08:42Afterwards, we hear how it went.
08:47We started with the actual exercise.
08:50We started with the actual exercise.
08:50Also, without Munition, without Schießen.
08:52With Simulations-Geräten,
08:55with which we have been taught.
08:57And there is a lot of learning.
08:59You can improve your skills.
09:01And then,
09:02after that,
09:03there is a 2-ticket-to-schießen
09:06that found a 2-ticket-to-schießen
09:07where we have learned
09:07that we have done
09:08with a sharp shot.
09:11And here is also
09:12a bit of sand.
09:15How is this?
09:16As a driver,
09:18it is different than in Germany.
09:20I say so,
09:21it is for me
09:23the best place.
09:25Because I sit under the gait,
09:26I don't get much into it.
09:30It is difficult,
09:31if you are in a row,
09:33if you are in a row,
09:33if you are in a row,
09:35then you will have to take a bit of a bit.
09:37But for us as a power-fair
09:39we also have a power-fair
09:39with a power-fair.
09:40And that works.
09:41And the commander
09:42supports us from above.
09:46Freedom Shield
09:47is also a test
09:47of how the New Lithuanian Brigade
09:49works together.
10:18I think,
10:20makes a lot of fun.
10:24For Tank Battalion 203,
10:26it is time to head home.
10:27Before they can leave,
10:28the tanks have to be cleaned
10:29and loaded onto trains.
10:30But this won't be their routine
10:32for much longer.
10:33By the end of 2027,
10:34the battalion is due to be
10:35permanently based in Lithuania.
10:39While Tank Battalion 203 prepares
10:42for the journey home,
10:43soldiers from the
10:44Mechanized Infantry Battalion
10:45122 are learning to build
10:47protective positions
10:48for drone teams.
10:52We have built a drone-fair
10:54that is based on the
10:55experience of Ukraine.
10:59For security reasons,
11:01this soldier has asked
11:02not to show his face.
11:03This is the first tunnel.
11:06Here is already the entrance.
11:07The entrance is open,
11:09so that we can find it again.
11:19We are now in a drone-fair
11:21in which then
11:22four soldiers and soldiers
11:24work,
11:25live and fight.
11:26Live?
11:27Yes, they sleep here.
11:28They have here
11:29two Doppelstocks
11:31and then they sleep.
11:34And then they have
11:35different cameras.
11:36One is for the
11:36explanation.
11:37And then there is
11:38the second camera.
11:39There is then the
11:39work drone.
11:41The soldiers dug the
11:42first tunnel by hand.
11:43It took them around
11:4430 hours to build.
11:46After that,
11:47an excavator helped
11:48with the rest.
11:50It is very cool.
11:52You can see what
11:53they have worked.
11:54What I take from today
11:55from many people
11:56is to do.
11:57Right,
11:58you can try a lot
11:58here in Lithuania
11:59and do the whole thing
12:00in reality.
12:02That's what
12:02it is hopefully
12:04not expected.
12:04But you are not
12:06connected by all
12:06the documents
12:07and regulations
12:09as they are in
12:10Germany.
12:10The people here
12:11believe something
12:12and want something
12:15to do.
12:19Everything the
12:20Bundeswehr does here,
12:21every new capability,
12:23every exercise,
12:24every adaptation
12:24is closely watched
12:26by potential
12:27adversaries.
12:28We met the inspector
12:30of the cyber
12:30information domain
12:31in Vilnius to ask
12:32him how real that
12:33threat is.
12:34They must
12:35permanently
12:35make sure that
12:37their
12:37government
12:37will be
12:38aware of
12:42If that
12:43happens,
12:45they will not
12:45wait long
12:45to wait for
12:47They will not
12:48them to
12:48water
12:48to
12:49use
12:49them.
12:57always
12:58aware of
13:01with
13:02the
13:03families
13:03to
13:03hear
13:06if
13:06it
13:07happens
13:07in their
13:09conversation.
13:11What could
13:11happen to
13:12that
13:14someone
13:14is
13:14invited to
13:15the
13:15Lithuanian
13:15network
13:16to
13:17hear
13:17a German
13:21phone call.
13:27running alongside
13:28Exercise
13:29Freedom Shield
13:29is the
13:30Bundeswehr's
13:30mission
13:31Vigilant Owl.
13:32Electronic
13:32warfare teams
13:33scan the
13:33electromagnetic spectrum
13:35tracking signals
13:36from equipment and
13:36vehicles across the
13:37area.
13:39The data is then
13:40used to build a
13:40real-time picture of
13:41what's happening on the
13:42ground.
13:48We accompany one of
13:49those teams.
14:17The team is constantly
14:18moving its sensors from one
14:20position to the next.
14:23Back at the vehicle, we ask how
14:25the system has performed in the
14:27field.
14:29This is the first mission where
14:31we can use the sensor sharp
14:32on the live signal.
14:34And how was it?
14:34We could provide good
14:35results.
14:36In general, we could practice
14:37very well here.
14:40We could also provide information
14:42to the
14:43conflict
14:43and also
14:44in a situation.
14:49But the Bundeswehr
14:50is not the only one gathering
14:51intelligence, Lieutenant Colonel
14:53Moritz Caselo tells us.
14:55The exercise in Pabrade has not
14:57gone unnoticed across the border
14:58in Belarus.
15:09Using a terrain model, he
15:11explains the current situation.
15:12It shows where units are deployed
15:14along the border and how their
15:16roles fit together.
15:18Not every threat on the battlefield
15:19is visible.
15:21We have the obligation
15:22with the Vigiland-Ul
15:23here in the area, to clear the
15:26jeweiligen signals in the
15:27electromagnetic spectrum and
15:29in the end of the
15:30warning function.
15:31On the other hand, for the
15:32forces that are currently
15:33used here in the
15:34Panzer Brigade 45.
15:35On the other hand, for
15:36other providers and of course
15:37for our partners, the
15:39litauic forces here at the
15:40place.
15:42Russia's war against Ukraine
15:43has shown just how important
15:44the electromagnetic spectrum
15:46has become in modern warfare.
15:49military planners now talk about
15:51a transparent battlefield, one
15:53where drones, sensors and
15:55electronic surveillance make it
15:56increasingly difficult to move
15:58without being detected.
16:03This is where electronic warfare
16:05comes in.
16:06By detecting and analyzing
16:08signals, it builds a real-time
16:09picture of the battlefield.
16:14What appears in the
16:15electromagnetic spectrum can
16:16quickly become a threat on the
16:18ground.
16:19Whether it's a drone or an
16:21enemy unit.
16:22And throughout the
16:23Exercise Freedom Shield,
16:24drones are never far away.
16:28The war in Ukraine has shown
16:30just how important it is to
16:31protect military vehicles from
16:33drones.
16:34Cheap to produce, but capable of
16:36causing serious damage,
16:37drones have changed the
16:38battlefield.
16:38For Exercise Freedom Shield, the
16:40soldiers developed an additional
16:42layer of protection against
16:43attacks from above.
17:03by the time we arrived, the
17:05drone cage fitted onto Kevin's
17:06tank had already been removed.
17:11But Staff Sergeant Markus from the
17:13Lithuanian Brigade
17:14Signals Company shows us a similar
17:16system.
17:17He designed a drone cage for the
17:19Fuchs armored personnel carrier.
17:20I saw a lot of videos from the
17:23Ukraine and thought about how we
17:25could protect our
17:26vehicles against these
17:28threats, which the drone
17:30now brings with themselves
17:30to bring.
17:31And then came the idea of
17:33the idea of this
17:33so a cage to
17:34concept and to set up.
17:36We have already been
17:37on a road trip.
17:38We have found
17:39one or two
17:40Spachstellen
17:40that we have now
17:42to better.
17:43And now
17:44it is here
17:44in the prototype
17:45with Hasendraht
17:46or with a stabil
17:49or with a stabiler
17:49edge.
17:51But
17:52if you build it
17:53and build it
17:54and develop it
17:55then it could also help
17:57against such a
17:57shahid.
17:58At least
17:59that the
18:00force will
18:01get out of the number.
18:04But during the
18:05around six weeks exercise
18:06the soldiers
18:07weren't just defending
18:08themselves against drones,
18:09they were also
18:10using them.
18:10I did that too.
18:12I stood here
18:13in my commandant's
18:13look and
18:14let the drone
18:15move on.
18:16and
18:17I took
18:18out of
18:18some
18:18and
18:19some
18:19and then
18:20they were
18:22with the
18:23stealth
18:23and
18:25did they
18:25flown
18:25before?
18:27How long has it
18:30been?
18:30Three
18:30minutes.
18:31Is
18:31quite
18:36difficult for
18:37the
18:37Kampfpanzer
18:38to
18:41open
18:41with
18:42speed
18:43and
18:43power
18:44and
18:45if
18:46I
18:47have
18:47the
18:47drone
18:50with the
18:52Lithuanian Brigade
18:53Germany is placing its faith
18:54in heavy armour.
18:56The aim is to deter Russia
18:57and, if necessary, help defend Lithuania
19:00alongside its NATO allies.
19:02But on the drive back to Vilnius
19:04one question stayed with us.
19:05In the age of drones
19:06is heavy armour still fit for purpose?
19:09Is the focus on tanks still adequate?
19:11I mean, it's a battle tank brigade.
19:13I see drones not come and not occupy the country but it can be used as very good offensive means
19:24but also in defensive matters.
19:29For now, Kevin and Roger's deployment to Lithuania is over. Tank Battalion 203 is heading back to Germany.
19:38The tank crews,
19:40the signal soldiers,
19:43the electronic warfare teams,
19:46the mechanised infantrymen from Oberviechtag,
19:49they all have the same mission,
19:51to be ready for war in the hope that they never have to fight one.
