NATO ships will help to "clear" Estonia

48
Today, a permanent NATO mine action group arrived in Tallinn. Informational portal Delphi reports that NATO troops are preparing for an operation to search for mines and other explosive devices in the territorial waters of Estonia. We are talking about the mines of the era of the Second World War. This is the official reason voiced by the NATO military command.

The Baltic portal cited Lieutenant Commander Peter Ivask, the representative of the Estonian Navy:
The arrival of the NATO naval unit and the destruction of explosive devices from the Second World War will make Estonia’s sea lanes safer for all of us.


NATO ships will help to "clear" Estonia


If the goal of the NATO mission is really to search for and disarm mines left from the Second World War, then in fact the Estonian Navy will completely discredit itself. It turns out that the Estonian "fleet"there is not enough money and professionalism to carry out even such an operation - to increase the safety of shipping. Or is Estonia finally turning into a NATO training ground - will the mines themselves be installed, and they themselves will neutralize? ..

        Soon there will be a majority of Russians, because the “titular nation” is dumping from its homeland at an awesome pace. Already even among Estonians there is a joke that soon three big cities and a large national park will appear in Estonia!

        Believe me, it’s not difficult to expand the impassable line from Tallinn to Helsinki. In 1942-43. the Germans created two lines of PLO here.

        Yes, don’t go to the fortuneteller, take a signal map and prepare the water area for the database, in general, the plans for id_i_o_t_o_v are really idiotic, and you need to have your own plan for taking control of the Baltic states

      It seems like that. I have long been saying that it’s time for us to strengthen measures to combat the “Somali pirates”. In particular, in the Baltic Sea, it is very careful to protect the possible fairways for the passage of our ships in a special period.

        What are the other possible fairways in the Baltic Sea? This puddle has long been studied. The NATO team on the spot determines missile attacks and possibly minefields if the fleet partially survives.

      Strange as it may seem, many of the Baltic Sea’s navigational charts still indicate “former landmine hazardous areas”. In the period from 1941 to 1944, both Germans and we set mines. The Baltic was a “broth with dumplings.” At the end of the war, trawling was carried out and repeated. But the emphasis was on the main fairways and the recommended routes for sailing ships.
      And how many sunken transports rest at the bottom of the Baltic? And who knows the filling of their holds?

    In fact, such events are held annually, at one time the Russian Navy also took part in them. In Latvia, if I’m not mistaken, Sweden’s mine-fighting ships are permanently installed. Maybe they are villains, but when fishermen on WWII mines are blown up, it’s unpleasant for me, even if they are not our fishermen. And yes, intelligence is certainly underway, it would be foolish not to combine ..

    There was no war with Russia, but they managed to mine themselves there that they could not cope with such a task. From the Estonians went utter nonsense, then the fences are being built against Russia, then they begin to mine, it is necessary to mine the turnover. They probably have changed the climate, that’s fooling around.

Most likely, the aesthetes sniffed something, but they themselves couldn’t lift it. They would have contacted us before, but now we are not found! I foresee: this is an interesting cargo ship that belonged to the USSR.

    A section of the Gulf of Bothnia off the coast of Estonia was actively mined during the First and Second World War from both the USSR, Finov and Nemtsov. There are so many memoirs on this subject who are interested in the sea knows. In the Baltic, after each storm, sea mines are carried ashore. The Baltic crews of minesweepers have always been the most trained in the Soviet Navy. The most difficult mine banks were off the coast of Estonia to promote the actions of the Baltic Fleet submarines. This has been written more than once for unbelievers and amateurs to put a few references.
