Estland, Letland og Litauen Empty Estland, Letland og Litauen

12:15 Formerer en fælles militær enhed.

At de køber Abrams kampvogne - fremfor Leopard 2 er så en sidebemærkning.

Det betyder, at man får integreret omkring det dansk ledede divisionelle hovedkvarter i Riga. Man har fra begyndelsen kritiseret, at ingen af disse Baltiske stater har strategisk dybde. Det er så en sandhed med alvorlige begrænsninger: Hvis man "låner" denne dybde fra selve Østersøen, så er forbindelserne sikret.

Det vil kræve flere Huitfelt'er og Absalon'er samt Typhoon til det danske flyvevåben. Men F-35 skulle vel også være integreret omkring nu?
Man kommer på kort sigt til at pille en bataljon fra Polen; men hvis Polen til gengæld får forhåndsdisponeringen af en middelsvær dansk brigade, så er det afgjort til at leve med for polakkerne. Dertil kommer så nok en bataljon Leopard 1. Vi kommer nok også til at stille med et hospitalsskib eller to.

Endelig må svineriet omkring værnepligten høre op efter Forsvaret under Corona-farcen så klart har dokumenteret sin inderlige uduelighed med anvendelse af værnepligtige som koncentrationslejr-bødler.

Det kommer nok til at gå på plads: Statsministeren kan - trods omfattende efterforskning - med tårefyldte dådyrøjne i al sandhed og oprigtighed fastholde, at hun så sandelig ikke aner, hvem der sprængte Nord Stream ved Bornholm. Polakkerne har svært ved at holde på alvoren. Og Forsvarsminister Jakob Ellemann er stadig sygemeldt - efter sygdomsperiodens længde at dømme, er han døden nær? Det gør ikke så meget, da vi har en fingerende krigsminister i Trolex.


Det har også hjulpet, at man fik den tidligere hærchef en tur i buret, så jo, han har været behjælpelig med at finde landsforrædere i Forsvarskommandoen. Læg mærke til, at det hele er kørt rent politisk udenom Forsvarskommandoen.

Estland, Letland og Litauen Empty Medvedev's trusler om sø-territorium.

Som skrevet andet steds:

I think You are over-interpretating this. It is more that Medvedev is sending up a "test balloon" - which was shot down with a "don't even think about it"! The problem is that the ports of Russia in the Baltic can be mined in a day, so no Russian ships can leave port - and the Russian oil export is blocked in the Baltic as well. Denmark is quite capable of doing it.
There was an incident that went totally unnoticed as it was only published on the Danish Defense website, and nobody reads Danish Defense proclamations as they usually covers earth shattering news as new pattern of shoe laces for the boots.

What happened was: The Great Belt was close for some hours due to a "malfunction" in the Harpoon missiles on board a frigate - that was lifted the same day.


The other indicator is that some months ago a B-52 flew over Estonia at very low level - so it would definately be notices by the Russians. Now the B-52's main role is not to carry nuclear bombs (they would not survive as bombers against any sort of air defense for 3 minutes) - the main role of the B-52 is mining in low level BEFORE a shooting war starts. The B-52's are not only kept in service, but is being reengined with modern engines and not the crappy old JT3D that has been canibalised from all sorts of planes. That could have gone on for ever, as B-52's don't fly very much. In my interpretation the re-engining was made because the modern engines have a much better fuel economy - hence a better unrefuelled range. This new range would mean that the US could fly unannounced from USA not stopping for fuel either by tanker or landing - place a stick of mines in the path of any Russian ships leaving port - and the ports of Khaliningrad and Sct. Petersburg would stop being sea ports.

So China and Russia should not get to chummy. Both the Russians and the Chinese KNOW that - even in case their intelligence network was still fast asleep.

The message was clear. Now the jerk (Medvedev) finds out - he is not the sharpest tool in the shed (even when he isn't intoxicated) - that we really don't care what Russia thinks and wants.

The whole "shell-shortage" comedy is just a play for time to get production moving - and Sweden is expanding their production facilities and working in 3 shifts. The other point is that the real way to avoid shell shortage (which occurs in ANY war) is actually hitting the target from a safe distance. That is why Sweden has donated 8 Archer to Ukraine for field trials - and they seem to be working fine. So now (I guess) mass production will start in Sweden. The Archer moves more than it shoots. So it can drive back for a reload, thus cutting out a link in the supply chain. Trust me: A battery of Archer on each side of the Gulf of Finland - and the Russians won't have a navy - merchant and otherwise.
