To the East? NATO obliges the EU to adapt the roads of the Baltic States to the transfer of armored vehicles

The European Commission presented a plan that describes changes in the transport system in the European Union. The changes are primarily related to the requirements of NATO. Changes include the legal framework that will simplify the movement of NATO troops between European countries - the borders for military personnel and military equipment will be transparent.

Also, the NATO leadership is not satisfied with the existing transport network regarding the possibility of its use for moving heavy military equipment.

First of all, we are talking about the so-called “North Sea - Baltic” corridor, which goes from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany in the west to Poland and the Baltic countries in the east. An analysis conducted by NATO showed that the roads in this “corridor” are not suitable for moving large amounts of military equipment along them. We are talking primarily about the Baltic countries and the local railways. The report stated that the bridges and the railway itself simply could not withstand the movement of trains on them, for example, with tanks or self-propelled artillery.

This leads to the fact that the European Union, at the suggestion of NATO, is now “concerned” with the modernization of the transport system of the said North Sea-Baltic corridor, especially in its eastern part. Completion of the modernization is scheduled for the end of 2019.

This fact itself suggests that NATO keeps in mind the possibility of a massive transfer of heavy military equipment to the borders of the Russian Federation.

Well, they will throw equipment and what's next, all this is just a show.

The only weapon system that is most resistant to nuclear explosion factors is heavy armored vehicles. Both for the protection of personnel, and in terms of maintaining combat effectiveness. Because Russia relied on nuclear systems, there’s nowhere to go, logistics must be fenced. Also, the experience of the ATO in the Donbass showed that it’s too early to write off tanks, self-propelled guns, etc. So after all, Russians still don’t rest on their laurels, but they make Armata, Terminator and so on. Well, fortified bridges and roads are useful for our tanks

Fools and roads. In Europe. After all, the last time the real roads in Europe were built by the Romans.

Plus, the reconstruction for transporting equipment heavier than it was in the USSR along the roads and bridges of the Baltic states will require very significant funds.
And immeasurably more means.
So you can frighten a hedgehog with naked opera, but the hedgehog is not very afraid.

And when you consider the fact that the railway gauge in the former social. republics are wider than in Europe, this entails a loss of time for reloading equipment from train to train at the border, and this is a waste of time. Replacing the railroad track with the Euro standard will also take a lot of time.

It’s easier and cheaper to build a wall, as it were, the “Iron Curtain” in Europe. So that our tanks do not break through. It’s strange how it turns out: Russia is an aggressor, but it’s inconvenient for them to attack Russia.
Russia does not aggressively resist. Normally.

Let Yatsenyuk be invited to a construction site - he already has experience in building a wall from Russia. You look, from a millionaire to become a billionaire.

But in peacetime this will reduce the already decreasing cargo flow with Russia.

railway trucks will be thrown (this is not a very long time, Hitler could) - but how will they go on our automobile roads ???
maybe they and ours will repair / upgrade before the attack

I don’t know how long it will take when replacing wheelsets with rolling stock, but on a locomotive this procedure is not at all quick. I used to work at the Depot as a mechanic for repairing a diesel engine’s chassis. And again, what capacities do these countries have in terms of the availability of a sufficient number of car repair depots and locksmiths? But where are the same components, in the quantity that will be needed to re-equip the car fleet? It will take years, not months. And with the roads, then there is generally an ambush awaiting them. They probably do not know at all that caterpillar equipment is done for off-road. Our old but nimble T-34, like Ivan Susanin, will lead their tank armada into our swamps and remember what they called.

[Herculesic]

Let our General Staff be informed of the exact transfer routes so that we do not lose time for a long time when it will be necessary to smash these very autobahns and highways along which the equipment will go!

[Herculesic]

NATO does not hold anything in mind, they are in full swing preparing for a war against us.

[hrych]

Quote: Herkulesich

they are preparing to war against us with might and main

After the demarche of Putin, the Poles and the Pribalds went through several stages, i.e. the stage of negation (they say this cannot be, it is impossible), the stage of hysteria and the stage of hopelessness is suitable. Experienced NATO psychiatrists will now pretend that the therapy is successful ... This is ridiculous to you, and the Russophobes are not laughing, it’s easy for them to make fun of the Russians, when we are in ruin, and Russia gets stronger, they have a terrible fear, for a thousand-year-old Stay with a sim invincible neighbor marked at the gene level. Of course, the highest form of this phenomenon can be called a jump in the window with a cry: "Russians are coming!" Old Bzhizik, was so hungry in statements at the fall of the Russian Federation, but died of longing when Russia rose again.

[rotmistr60]

The EU, with the submission of NATO, is now "concerned" with the modernization of the transport system

Let the wallets shake. But it will only be good for NATO - the question? The NATO command itself admits that they have a little difficulty with logistics and this depends not only on roads and bridges, but also on the military bureaucracy of the bloc.

[smart ass]

No matter how beautiful the road would turn out in wartime, she should live 5 minutes

[keeper03]

You don’t reveal the secrets, they don’t know where they are from, they are exceptional!

[Clumsy]

Is it possible that they will make our roads, I can’t even believe it.

[Yak28]

In the future, you don’t have to wait until a military fist is gathered at our borders, you have to beat first

[magirus401]

The Russian road is called the area on which he is going to drive, so our good roads are useless, well, if only for free

[ibn.shamai]

Will NATA give money? Or each for his own?

[Lynx33]

Or maybe Russia should submit the same application to NATO, even if we build good roads But how will they capture us? Tanks at the border get stuck

[Ushly_bashkort]

If our bureaucrats are involved in this, then NATO should still remain for us!

[Petrix]

Quote: Lynx33

let us build good roads

And not only to Moscow. Let them build it up to Kamchatka, otherwise it’s not so easy to part with the partisans.

[Rurikovich]

So what? this is normal when they are preparing the infrastructure for a comfortable change
We’ll provoke the Russians, and they, by the kindness of their sincere and keen sense of justice, will instantly clean Europa from migrants and Tolerasts to the Atlantic Ocean ... They’ll also wash their feet there

At customs it will be like this:

This is called differently.
So in Bulgaria, the United States took care of infrastructure projects
March 29, 2018
Bulgarian-American meeting in the Air Force Command.
A Bulgarian-American working meeting was held at the Bulgarian Air Force Command. On the Bulgarian side, the Air Force Commander, Major General Tsanko Stoikov, and the command experts were present. The American representatives were headed by Brigadier General Dawn Deskins, deputy director of the Office of Policy, Strategy, Partnerships and Opportunities, US Command Europe.
The meeting discussed issues of mutual interest in the field of modernization, military training and infrastructure projects .. "

Attoch! We built roads according to their "technology" - they could not stand for a year.

[Skarpzd]

what's the use of building roads in the Baltic states ??? Well, they will reach the border, but here ..... here we have the last asphalt.

[pvv113]

What ends the campaigns to the east in Europe, it seems, they quickly forgot

[trifle]

Well, let's say that NATO technology reaches our borders, and then what? Will they walk on the territory of Russia? We then build bridges for them and we will not.

[alstr]

If we consider that our equipment weighs less than ours to 50 tons, and Abrams and Leopards are not less than 60, then it will be difficult for them to search for bridges.

I remember at the military department solving the problem on the march in the Leningrad region, so I had to sweat to find a way for the S-300 division. And then a couple of bridges had to "drive" in excess. And there the maximum weight is less than that of the tank

[Petrix]

They will go back. Napoleon they remember. Go back where you need it when it’s locked. It is possible to go forward with a whining. Back to drape off-road oh how sad.

[keeper03]

Yeah, the NATO people know how to loot, we never dreamed of!

[HMR333]

This is in the sense of removing the asphalt !!! ???)))))))))))

[Narak-zempo]

Not bad. Roads will be ready for the transfer of our armored vehicles at their expense: D

[tralmaster.]

Well, in order to break through the border it will be necessary about a thousand and a half tanks and for the development of stupidity two more times as much. What Soviet roads can withstand this ??? Our tanks do not need roads. Well, on the stellar asphalt, you will not save enough.
