Germany is preparing to reintroduce compulsory military service by July 2027. This decision is linked to a shortage of people in the army and concerns about the 'Russian threat'.

According to sources, the decision will be made in early 2027. The German government's plans include recruiting 260,000 people into the army by 2035.

Compulsory Military Service in Germany

Compulsory military service in Germany was abolished in 2011. However, the country's authorities are now considering reinstating it due to changing circumstances in the field of security.

Experts note that the decision to reintroduce compulsory military service will depend on various factors, including the international situation and Germany's internal politics.
