That's pure clickbait. Here one can find the original speech of Maas:

https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/newsroom/maas-konferenz-2...

He actually said, he "dares to predict the next war will be fought not only by means of megabombs, but also by means of megabits and megabytes, as already done with [smart] bombs today". He explicitly refers to electronic warfare. However, this reference is peculated and distorted by the linked article. I'm not a fan of Maas, but that's nevertheless another example of journalistic degradation of Heise Online.
