Bundeswehr soldiers are installing special sensors on trees to monitor radio signals coming from Belarus and Russia.

The operation is carried out by Germany's 45th Brigade, stationed in Lithuania. Its mission is to detect new air defense radars, troop movements, and other military activity near NATO's borders before they become a threat. The intelligence collected is fed into NATO databases and used, among other things, to update the systems of Eurofighter jets. So now, when Belarus switches on a new military radar, NATO might know about it before Lukashenko even gets the briefing.

• NEXTA reports German Bundeswehr's 45th Brigade installing tree-mounted sensors in Lithuanian forests to detect radio signals, radars, and military movements from Belarus and Russia's Kaliningrad region.
• The operation, part of electronic warfare testing including signal interceptors and data relay to NATO databases, supports early threat identification for systems like Eurofighter jets ahead of the brigade's full 2027 deployment.
• Reuters confirmed the mission on October 28, 2026, framing it as NATO's response to hybrid threats in a "neither war nor peace" environment on the eastern flank.
