An Airbus A400M from the German Air Force sits on the tarmac at Berlin Brandenburg Airport. The aircraft has arrived from a deployment scenario in Lithuania, where Germany's 45th Battletank Brigade is stationed to help defend NATO's eastern flank against a potential Russian attack.
Through the open rear ramp, medics carry a wounded soldier on a stretcher and hand him over to emergency teams from St John Ambulance and the Maltese aid service. From there, he is registered and taken to hospital for treatment in Germany.
