Around 100 Bundeswehr vehicles will be on the road in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Brandenburg on Friday and Saturday. A military unit of the Franco-German Brigade will travel from the Oberlausitz military training area in Saxony to Möckern in the Jerichower Land in Saxony-Anhalt on Friday (February 2) and from there to the Colbitz-Letzlinger Heide north of Magdeburg the next day, according to the Territorial Command of the Bundeswehr. The convoy, which includes four-axle armored transport vehicles, is part of an international NATO exercise. According to the Bundeswehr, around 90,000 troops from all NATO member states and Sweden are taking part in the four-month exercise.
In total, the soldiers will cover around 350 kilometers over the next two days - mainly on freeways and main roads. The convoy will be divided into several groups, which will travel at staggered intervals. As much distance as possible should be kept between the vehicles. In addition, for safety reasons, other vehicles should not drive between the slow columns, which are up to three meters long, according to the Bundeswehr's request.
