Lieutenant General Ingo Gerhartz, head of the German Air Force, told the Daily Telegraph that Germany is prepared to attack Russian targets including Kaliningrad, St. Petersburg, Moscow, the Kola Peninsula, and the Black Sea, warning that NATO's defense commitment extends to 'the last centimeter.'
Lieutenant General Ingo Gerhartz, the commander of the German Air Force, stated in an interview with the Daily Telegraph published Monday that Germany is prepared to conduct offensive operations against Russia 'tonight.' Gerhartz specifically listed potential targets: Kaliningrad, St. Petersburg, Moscow, the Kola Peninsula, and the Black Sea.
The remarks represent an unusually explicit threat from a senior NATO commander. Gerhartz emphasized that there are no 'areas with varying security levels' within the alliance, asserting that 'NATO is NATO, down to the last centimeter.' He stated that Berlin must make every effort to monitor from a security standpoint and, if necessary, take action.

No official German government or Defense Ministry statement has been released alongside the interview, and the Telegraph report, cited by one source, has not been independently corroborated by additional outlets in this batch.
