Accidental Leak Sparks Outrage
Germany is facing harsh criticism after inadvertently revealing British military secrets to Russia. Former Defence Secretary Ben Wallace accused Berlin of being compromised by Russian intelligence, calling Germany "neither secure nor reliable."
Major Security Breach
The breach occurred when a German air force chief's confidential phone call discussing British military secrets was intercepted by Russia. During the call, the head of the Luftwaffe shared sensitive information about the delivery of Storm Shadows missiles to Ukraine and the presence of British troops on the ground, alarming NATO allies.
Reactions and Investigations
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz labeled the leak as "very serious," prompting an investigation into the incident. Former senior defence figures expressed deep concern over the blunder, with Conservative MP Tobias Ellwood highlighting the worrying implications at various levels.
Call for Accountability
Lord Dannatt, former head of the British army, called for the German air force officers involved in the leak to be held accountable, emphasizing the need for strict consequences. The incident has raised questions about adherence to security protocols and the implications for military planning discussions.
