Germany has decided to increase its military presence in Iceland to respond to the increasing threat from Russia. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius signed a memorandum of understanding in Reykjavik that provides for closer cooperation with Iceland in the field of maritime logistics. This agreement is intended to provide the Bundeswehr with a strategically important contact point for combat ships, submarines and suppliers.
Considered a bridge between North America and Europe due to its geographical location, Iceland plays a crucial role in NATO’s logistics. The Bundeswehr plans to temporarily station P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft in Iceland in order to improve the surveillance of large maritime areas. These machines are specifically designed for submarine hunting and are intended to ensure the security of maritime infrastructure.
The security situation in the Arctic has changed in recent years. Climate change has opened previously inaccessible sea routes, sparking new desires. At the same time, the threat from Russia, which is expanding its military presence in the region, has increased. NATO partners, including Germany, are responding with increased cooperation to protect their security interests.
Iceland, a founding member of NATO, has no armed forces of its own. Securing the airspace is carried out by NATO partners, with the USA having a permanent military presence on the island. The increased cooperation with Germany also includes protection against hybrid attacks and disruptions to internet communication. These measures are part of a broader strategy to secure the Arctic region and strengthen European security.
