‼️‼️🇨🇿 BIG | The Czech Republic is preparing for the possibility that Europe could once again face a prolonged, high-intensity war with Russia. Prague is increasingly treating deterrence not as a political slogan, but as a long-term national project built around stronger forces, modern technology and a society capable of functioning during a major security crisis.

Under a draft national defence strategy extending to 2045, Russia is identified as the country’s principal security threat and the Czech military is to be prepared for a sustained high-intensity conflict. Prague plans to strengthen its armed forces, introduce 24 F-35 fighters, modernize two brigades and expand space-based intelligence capabilities. By 2030, authorities also intend to establish a new system for preparing the population for crisis situations. Military service would remain voluntary in peacetime, while the state would gain greater ability to mobilize citizens with medical, technical and IT expertise if circumstances require it.

Prague’s approach reflects a reality that much of Europe has been painfully slow to absorb since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. NATO deterrence cannot rest on expensive platforms alone. It requires ammunition stocks, industrial capacity, trained reserves, resilient infrastructure and civilians prepared for prolonged disruption. Recent assessments still warn that Europe would struggle to sustain a long war of attrition without major improvements in these areas. The Czech strategy is therefore moving in the right direction, but Europe as a whole will need the same urgency if it wants to deter Russia rather than discover its weaknesses only after another crisis begins.
