US troops leaving Germany? Vice Chief of Defense: 'Not a surprise' | DW News

In this in‑depth interview with DW's Chief Political Correspondent Nina Haase, Germany's Vice Chief of Defense Nicole Schilling responds to Washington's decision to reduce its military presence in Germany, addresses the debate over long‑range missile deployments such as Tomahawks, and explains why Berlin was "not surprised" by the move.
She outlines how Germany and its European partners have been preparing for these shifts behind the scenes, why Europe is being asked to take on greater responsibility for its own defense, and how gaps in air defense and long‑range strike capabilities are being addressed. The conversation also touches on Russia’s broader strategy, lessons learned from Ukraine’s battlefield innovations, and the importance of NATO unity at a time of growing global uncertainty.
