This is what we are here for! US "unfrozen" Keflavik base in Iceland

The United States “unfroze” its Keflavik air base in Iceland. US anti-submarine aircraft taking off from the air base again began patrolling the waters of the North Atlantic in search of Russian submarines, Warspot reports, citing Deutsche Welle

During the Cold War, the Keflavik base served to track down Soviet submarines, as well as to intercept strategic bombers. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States gradually reduced the number of base personnel, officially it stopped working in the 2006 year.

In 2014, people from Washington called me. They wanted to visit the base and then return some staff here. I did not ask questions because I was used to such things. This is what we are here for.

- told the commander of the base Keflavik captain John Goodnesson.

Previously, Keflavik could hold American soldiers to 3000, but now the base will not work at full capacity. It is known that the US Department of Defense allocated $ 14,4 million to restore the base. During the modernization, it is planned to re-equip the hangar under the P-8 Poseidon aircraft, which previously had a P-3 Orion.

They forgot about the main thing - plentiful dusting with ash, from numerous volcanoes - enough to sleep.

The United States is afraid of Russia .. And this is very good, so we are reborn!

Here we say, they say they do not care - aaa no, otherwise they would not have fussed. They are in the international arena, driven themselves into quicksand - let them twitch.

This is Iceland, what are the frosts?

Weather in Iceland in winter
In winter, cold strong winds are widespread throughout this state. In December, the darkest time comes in Iceland, when daylight hours last no more than five hours. This is more than compensated in June, when the time comes for white nights. In general, the weather in Iceland is mild and windy in winter. The coldest month of the winter season is January, at this time on the coast the temperature in the daytime is from 0 to 2 degrees Celsius, and at night it is minus 3-4.

The word "control" must be written in quotation marks. They won’t really control anything, but again they will spoil Iceland. Of course, they will spoil it.

Well, yes, they also announced the program of seizure of the Northern Sea Route from Russia, and our Arctic affairs through the MO line are like a cactus under their tail.

Now the base will not work at full capacity

why? $ 14,4 million will not be enough?

An order of magnitude more they will tear off NATO members and even return these $ 14,4 million. The experience of blackmail is huge.

They will do the same now

In 2014, people from Washington called me. They wanted to go to the base and then return some staff here.

I wonder what month of 2014 this happened when Washington ALREADY started the “new cold war”

[Lerych]

New Earth. Not far from me. Kuzkin Mother forgot?

Our poor-minded characters, all bases in different countries were abandoned forever, and smart people canned, so that later they would return

[Zomanus]

Well, in general, nothing new. We are getting stronger
the enemy begins to respond adequately to us.
Interestingly, SOSUS is still in service?)))

This is because we lost the Cold War to them. And they respectively won it.

In 2008, Iceland’s President Olafur Ragnar Grimson offered Moscow the Keflavik airbase. It belonged to the United States until 2006. Grimson ... officially offered Russia the Keflavik military base. Grimson hoped that an air base would be useful in Moscow, where American troops were stationed from 1951 to 2006. "The president expressed his thoughts to the Russian ambassador, who was" a little surprised and smiling. "According to Grimson, Iceland does not need a base."

SOSUS is working, And yes, "re-conservation" has begun

[Vitaly Anisimov]

In the USSR, there is also much that is “preserved until the right moment” and is well preserved (not all of course, many were blown up and looted in the wild 90s) Especially a lot in the Arctic and the impassable taiga ..

"US Air Force Keflavik officially ceased operations in 2006" ////
"In 2014, people from Washington called me. They wanted to go to the base and then return some staff here." ////

What I wrote several times already.
Obama closed almost all American bases in Europe,
brought tanks out. NATO was on the verge of self-dissolution.
But in 2014, Russia so successfully “rose from its knees” that NATO was saved.
Geopolitics...

I, unlike some, do not hide under Soviet flags. And secondly, the head is given not only to eat but also to think. And better to read a person who says smart things not the same one other than labels and the fact that different Solovyovs and Co. are on TV you vparivayut.

I read and respect Aleksey with pleasure, but there is one thing, but I don’t listen to the recipes of a person who treats the back who walks hunched over (allegory, for some people understand it too literally), do you really consider Israeli politics to be the standard of wisdom? I do not, when beautiful girls are forced to run with weapons for me this is the land. And would you like to tell me that -

Quote: ventel

Did you think a lot there? I guess what you wanted to say, but there are too many examples from life, there’s nothing to think about, I’m talking with Ukrainians and now I have a bus with your numbers for repair, I listen to them, and Solovyov once a month, there is someone to listen to, too I listen to everyone, and I believe everyone, I trust not everyone PS I apologize for the late reply, work.

Yes, our times are more beautiful it offends me for you, but who squeezes? Well, it was not superfluous to shoot some, yes. But let's say I worked like it was time in Moscow (now in the Moscow region) Forest lane, you can check it is not big, there was a Jewish bakery on the contrary, there were very good people, there were good relations and no one oppressed them, and the words weren’t bad he said.

Think of my advice to you with your own head and don’t believe everyone, even if your government tells you the atom will pass the time and you’ll be in berets and not defend your homeland but the interests of the state in another country. After all, when Zhirinovsky says that Ukrainians need to be deported to Magadan, an audience applauds for him Russians for such a nation, there is no Ukrainian, only Little Russia.

To believe does not mean not to think and not have an opinion, let alone agree.

Quote: ventel

even if your government tells you the atom will pass the time and you are already in berets and not defend your homeland but the interests of the state in another country.

Health does not allow me to be in berets in another country, it remains only to my homeland if that. According to you, poor Americans, how many berets in other countries protect the interests of the state

Quote: ventel

I don’t agree with him, those who go zigzag and pray for the bandar must be hung up for a start, and there you will see someone in Magadan.

Quote: ventel

for you Russians such a nation does not exist; the Ukrainian is only a Little Russia.

Little Russia is Russian, but what can you do a lot of Ukrainians died in the 14m, but the evil fascist revived in proportion to the dead.

[ventel]

In what if not the second faction in the Russian parliament. You may not agree, but some part of the population agrees. You are also being zigzagged on the Russian March, but they don’t hang anyone, they even guard and do not send him to Magadan. At 14-16, too, many were scattered, only your media died, it made a fool of yourself that in Ukraine the fascists were rushing to fight for the Russian peace and save the Russian world and that as a result, death and grief on both sides.

Most interestingly, the United States is responding to ongoing actions within Russia.

This means that they are closely monitoring Russia, and they come up with resistance for every action.
They can be controlled ... Put several residential blocks near Alaska, and they will build another military base, simulate violent activity there, so they drag the floor of the army there, let them freeze. And our frost is the usual thing, a good salary, five meals a day, a bathhouse, and you get a resort.
