Over 3,5 thousand NATO began military maneuvers in Latvia
The maneuvers involved several hundred units of military equipment, including American and German armored vehicles, Aviation, artillery and engineering tools.
It is noted that the exercises in the Latvian territory will be held until October 29. The main task of the exercise is to counter the attack of a “conditional enemy”. As in the recently completed exercises in Sweden, the conditional opponent “attacks” Latvia from the east. So that he does not go to the capital, he is met near the border in equipped positions with barrage of artillery.
