The German military, the Bundeswehr, has recorded a significant increase in interest for voluntary military service, with 15% more individuals choosing this path. As of August 2025, nearly 13,000 recruits had registered, surpassing the annual target of 15,000, according to Gi Breuer. This surge in interest was reported by @Konflikt_Sicher on X, citing a report from welt.de. The figures indicate a substantial jump in voluntary enlistments for the Bundeswehr. This development follows reports from earlier today, September 20th, 2025, detailing widespread flight delays and cancellations at major European airports, including London Heathrow, Brussels, and Berlin Brandenburg, due to a cyber attack on a third-party service provider. Separately, Poland mobilized its military overnight after Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities.
