One web search result mentions a Eurobarometer poll suggesting a high level of perceived threat among Europeans, and another mentions a warning about the international order. However, the claim attributes this specific warning about the international order being challenged *more than at any time in recent memory* directly to Pistorius's statement, and the evidence does not provide multiple independent confirmations of this specific phrasing or warning from him.

The web search results provide context on NATO's historical role and Germany's strategic shift, suggesting the articulation of national objectives for NATO. However, the specific phrasing regarding German planning *historically* being shaped by NATO, and the *new* element being the formal articulation of national objectives, appears to be derived from a single narrative context within the search results, making corroboration difficult across distinct sources.

The evidence points to a shift in focus toward capabilities (e.g., long-range strike, air defense) rather than fixed numbers. While this is a recurring theme in the search results, no single source explicitly states the shift *away* from fixed force numbers to capabilities as a standalone, corroborated fact.
