German Major General Christian Freuding says his team has uncovered worrying intelligence which points towards Putin's next attack plan.
The tyrant has ramped up his nightly offensives in recent weeks with constant bombardments on Ukrainian civilians.
The attacks come amid pressure from the US and Europe for Russia to agree to a ceasefire to finally end the conflict.
US President Donald Trump even imposed a 50-day peace deadline on Putin this month.
But the constant warnings have done little to stop Putin.
Freuding now believes that Russia is significantly expanding its weapons production capacity to help enable a mass drone deployment in the coming months.
He claims that Moscow plans to launch 2,000 Shahed drones simultaneously.
The Iranian made unmanned aircraft has been a key weapon in Moscow's arsenal during the three years of conflict.
Warped Russian state TV has shown off mad Vlad's "drone death factory" packed out with the kamikaze killers.
The channel boasted about the "scale of this production" at the plant as they showed off "huge, bright workshops in which you can get lost" in.

They claim that "hundreds of machines, thousands of workers" are in the factory each day.
These include teenagers who have been recruited to support Putin's war after being "educated" - or indoctrinated - at a special drone university.
Along with his catastrophic warning, Freuding also stressed that Ukraine needs to develop "smart countermeasures" to stop any looming attacks.
He believes Kyiv needs to deploy low-cost defensive drones to repel large-scale blitzes.
This way they can produce thousands of unmanned weapons instead of relying on a high-cost system such as the Patriot.
The missile defence system costs around $5million and despite being highly accurate it is likely to be overwhelmed by the surging waves of drones.
Freuding added that Ukraine could also launch strikes deep inside Russian territory which target military aircraft, airfields and defence factories to put Moscow on the back foot.
Russia's aerial threats have been a key fear for Ukraine and their allies in recent weeks.

At the start of July, experts warned Russia could soon hammer Ukraine with 1,000 drones and missiles every day.
Russia's defence industry is expanding their projects rapidly to increase their supply lines - including at the "death drone factory".
Moscow's firepower capacity has constantly increased this year with his forces regularly breaking the record for the largest daily volley of weapons.
On June 1, a 479-strong wave of drones and missiles became Russia's largest unmanned aerial assault of the war.
June 9 saw that broken with 499, then again on June 29 with 537.
At the start of the month, Putin terrorised Kyiv with a firestorm of 550 drones and missiles - marking his largest attack yet.
Ukraine has valiantly hit back across the past week with them launching five straight days of drone attacks on Moscow.
Trump's 50-day peace deadline for Vlad
THE Kremlin mocked Donald Trump's 50-day peace deadline and may now demand even more Ukrainian territory instead of trying to sign peace.
Vladimir Putin will instead keep terrorising Ukrainian civilians during the seven-week period, sources said.
The furious US President said he is 'very unhappy' with Russia as he warned of 100 per cent secondary tariffs on Moscow should they continue to blitz Ukraine.
Trump said he wants the war to end, but doubled down on his frustration with Putin, saying he's "disappointed" in the Russian leader.
But a snarling Putin has always declined and instead ramped up his ground and aerial offensives across Ukraine.
He also vowed to send US weapons - compromising of "everything" in their arsenal - to Nato so they can distribute them to Kyiv.

'Russia stunned into silence' by Donald Trump's nuclear subs move
Donald Trump announced the deployment of two nuclear submarines following "foolish and inflammatory statements" by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev Russia has been left seemingly speechless after US President Donald Trump's decision to deploy two nuclear submarines in response to Moscow's rhetoric. The move, which saw the subs dispatched to "in appropriate regions" came after "foolish and inflammatory statements" by Russia 's ex-President Dmitry Medvedev. Mr Trump refrained from disclosing the exact location of the submarines or clarifying if they were nuclear-powered or armed. BBC's Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg reported a lack of immediate response from Russian officials, noting on BBC News: "Interestingly, there has been no reaction so far from the Kremlin, from the Foreign Ministry, from the Defence Ministry - anyone here, really. "I think everyone is trying to work out what on earth is going on and what, if anything, has changed in relations to where these nuclear subs are being positioned." Rosenberg observed that the announcement had unsettled Moscow's stock market, following over three years of "bombastic and provocative" commentary from Medvedev, reports the Express. He further noted: "There has been reactions from the Moscow stock market, which has fallen sharply. Judging by the reactions in the local media here, Russians are surprised to say the least by President Trump's post. "I suspect that nobody is more surprised than Dmitry Medvedev himself, because for more than three years he has been tweeting and posting some very bombastic and provocative social media posts - most of which have gone unnoticed, I have to say. "But now suddenly he has been noticed and he has gone under the skin of the President of the United States in a big way." Mr Trump revealed the submarine deployment on his Truth Social platform. He posted: "Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. "Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you for your attention to this matter!". This followed Medvedev's warning to the US president about Russia's Soviet-era nuclear strike capabilities that could be deployed as a final option.

Trump orders US nuclear subs repositioned over ex-Russian leader's statements
The move is 'based on highly provocative statements' from the country's former president Dmitry Medvedev. Mr Trump posted on his social media site that based on the 'highly provocative statements' from Mr Medvedev he had 'ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that'. The president added: 'Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances.' It was not immediately clear what impact Mr Trump's order would have on US nuclear subs, which are routinely on patrol in the world's hotspots, but it comes at a delicate moment in the Trump administration's relations with Moscow. Mr Trump has said that special envoy Steve Witkoff is heading to Russia to push Moscow to agree to a ceasefire in its war with Ukraine and has threatened new economic sanctions if progress is not made. He cut his 50-day deadline for action to 10 days, with that window set to expire next week. The post about the sub repositioning came after Mr Trump, in the wee hours of Thursday morning, had posted that Mr Medvedev was a 'failed former president of Russia' and warned him to 'watch his words'. Mr Medvedev responded hours later by writing: 'Russia is right on everything and will continue to go its own way.' Asked as he was leaving the White House on Friday evening for a weekend at his estate in New Jersey about where he was repositioning the subs, Mr Trump did not offer any specifics. 'We had to do that. We just have to be careful,' the president said. 'A threat was made, and we didn't think it was appropriate, so I have to be very careful.' Mr Trump also said 'I do that on the basis of safety for our people' and 'we're gonna protect our people' and later added of Mr Medvedev: 'He was talking about nuclear.' 'When you talk about nuclear, we have to be prepared,' Mr Trump said. 'And we're totally prepared.' Mr Medvedev was president from 2008 to 2012 while Russian President Vladimir Putin was barred from seeking a second consecutive term but stepped aside to let him run again. Now deputy chairman of Russia's National Security Council, which Mr Putin chairs, Mr Medvedev has been known for his provocative and inflammatory statements since the start of the war in 2022, a U-turn from his presidency, when he was seen as liberal and progressive. He has frequently wielded nuclear threats and lobbed insults at Western leaders on social media. Some observers have argued that with his extravagant rhetoric, Mr Medvedev is seeking to score political points with Mr Putin and Russian military hawks. Mr Trump and Mr Medvedev have gotten into online spats before. On July 15, after Mr Trump announced plans to supply Ukraine with more weapons via its Nato allies and threatened additional tariffs against Moscow, Mr Medvedev posted, 'Trump issued a theatrical ultimatum to the Kremlin. The world shuddered, expecting the consequences. Belligerent Europe was disappointed. Russia didn't care'. Earlier this week, he wrote: 'Trump's playing the ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10″ and added, 'He should remember 2 things: 1. Russia isn't Israel or even Iran. 2. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country.'
