The secret call from the German air force about British troops ‘on the ground’ in Ukraine is widely intercepted by Russia
GERMANY is facing a major security breach after Russia intercepted a confidential telephone conversation about British military secrets.
German Air chief Ingo Gerhartz was sensationally recorded talking about how British troops are ‘on the ground’ Ukraine – a movement Russia says shows NATO allies ‘are preparing for war“.

The accidentally leaked phone call also revealed how France and Great Britain provide new powerful ones Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine.
One conversation even detailed how the long-range weapons that were sent could be used to destroy the Kerch Bridge that connects mainland Russia with the Crimean Peninsula.
Gerhartz was caught talking to Air Force officers and a general via a WebEx platform during the horrific accident.
The 38-minute phone call traveled throughout the Russian state television by a manager, for example The Telegraph.
After listening to the recording, the Kremlin doubled down on its position that NATO allies are posing a serious threat of war against them.
Gerhartz revealed that British troops were “on the ground” and even mentions the exact British system currently in place to supply weapons to the Ukrainian frontlines.
In the recording he can be heard talking about his German-producing country Taurus rockets to the troops before British secrets are spread.
He said: “When asked about delivery methods. I know how the British do this.
“They always transport them in Ridgeback armored vehicles. There are several people on the ground.”
The lieutenant general then spoke about how France is also sending missiles east to Ukraine.
The French deliver their Storm Shadow style missiles, better known as Scalp, flashing in the back Audi Q7s.
The commercial SUVs cost a whopping £67,000.
It is a very serious matter and that is why it is now being investigated very carefully, very intensively and very quickly

A second voice, probably Brigadier General Frank Graefe, can also be heard in the recording.
You can clearly hear him talking about how Ukrainian soldiers are trained on German soil.
Before somewhat controversially blurting out that once they were trained in it Germany the “right thing to do” would be for Britain to “take over”.
Before adding: “Imagine the uproar if the media found out.”
Olaf ScholzThe German Chancellor described the leak as “very serious” and demanded a thorough investigation.
Saying: “It is a very serious matter and that is why it is now being investigated very carefully, very intensively and very quickly.”
As Conservative MP Bob Seely blasted Germany, calling them “incredibly complacent”, while former Defense Minister Alec Shelbrooke described the leak as an “amateur blunder”.
German opposition politician Roderich Kiesewetter says the leak was likely caused by a Russian intelligence agent who joined the call.
A spokesperson told Bild that “an insufficiently secure means of communication was used.”
The chat with several senior Luftwaffe officers was done via their mobile phones, meaning it would have been easy for someone from the outside to connect to it.
You even hear a chat participant talking about taking over the conversation WhatsApp.
This has caused even more fear of a possible further security breach.
The German Ministry of Defense confirmed that the call was an authentic recording.
It marks one of the most serious security breaches in Germany since the Cold War.
PREPARATION FOR WAR
The conversation then turned to the Taurus cruise missiles and the potential destruction they could cause in Russia.
Officers debated whether the missiles could reach the Kerch Bridge between the Russian mainland and battlefields on the Crimean Peninsula.
Our age-old rivals – the Germans – have once again become our sworn enemies
Dmitry Medvedev
Russian Dmitry Medvedev claimed this proved that Germany was “preparing for a war against Russia.”
The deputy head of the Russian Security Council said on Telegram: “Our age-old rivals – the Germans – have once again become our sworn enemies.”
“Look, with what thoroughness and in such detail the [Germans] discuss attacking our territory with long-range missiles, choose targets to hit and discuss how to inflict the maximum damage on our motherland and our people.
Boris Pistorius, the German Defense Minister, spoke out about the leaked recording Vladimir Putin used the call to ‘destabilize’ Germany.
Pistorius also explained how the evil tyrant tried to sow division within the Allies through an ‘information war’.
