The agreement will reportedly set the scene for British and German forces to train on Russia\u2019s borders<\/strong><\/p>\n

The UK and Germany will sign a bilateral defense agreement this week, paving the way for both nations to step up their military drills near Russia\u2019s borders, The Sunday Times has reported.<\/p>\n

Under the terms of the deal, Britain and Germany will cooperate on arms procurement and development, with the agreement serving as a \u201cfirst step\u201d<\/em> for a larger deal between the UK and EU next year, the British newspaper reported.<\/p>\n

The pact \u201cis expected to enable British and German forces to conduct joint military exercises on NATO\u2019s eastern border with Russia, most probably in Estonia and Lithuania,\u201d<\/em> The Times noted, without offering further explanation.<\/p>\n

Britain and Germany already take part in NATO exercises, such as this year\u2019s \u2018Steadfast Defender\u2019 drills. Conducted near Russia\u2019s western borders, \u2018Steadfast Defender\u2019 involved 90,000 troops from all 32 NATO states, and was perceived in Moscow as open preparation for \u201ca potential armed clash with Russia.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In addition to these multilateral exercises, Germany already takes part in smaller-scale bilateral exercises, such as Germany\u2019s \u2018Grand Quadriga\u2019 drills<\/a> with Lithuania earlier this year, and its \u2018Baltic Tiger\u2019 maneuvers<\/a> with Estonia in 2022. The Times\u2019 article suggests that Britain could join these exercises once the new deal is signed.<\/p>\n

British Defense Secretary John Healey told the newspaper that the deal is modeled on the 2010 Lancaster House agreement between the UK and France. Under this agreement, Britain and France pledge to create a joint expeditionary force to take part in military drills, to collaborate on developing drones and submarine technology, and to share nuclear-weapons data with each other.<\/p>\n

During a two-day NATO summit in Brussels this week, Healey also announced that British troops stationed in Estonia will receive new drone warfare equipment and training, and that the UK will work with Germany, France, Poland and Italy to create new long-range missiles for Ukraine.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
