Danish navy intelligence claims that if the struggle in Ukraine is stopped or frozen, and if NATO is unable to rearm, Russia can be ready for a large-scale struggle in Europe inside 5 years.

The report notes that in parallel with navy actions towards Ukraine, Russia has initiated a major rebuilding and reform of its armed forces. Over the previous yr, these efforts have grown from a activity of restoration to “an intensive buildup of navy energy with the purpose of waging struggle towards NATO.”

Danish intelligence predicts three phases of Russia’s battle with NATO:

1. If hostilities in Ukraine stop, Russia will be capable of wage an area struggle in one in all its neighboring international locations inside six months.
2. In two years, there can be an actual risk to a number of NATO international locations. The Russian Federation can be prepared for a regional struggle towards a number of states within the Baltic Sea area.
3. In 5 years, Russia launching a large-scale struggle on the European continent can be attainable.
