Demonstration of "strong cooperation": NATO ships arrived in Tallinn


Minesweepers will replenish stocks, and then take part in the Open Spirit doctrine.

The presence of a permanent NATO mine action group in Estonia inspires us to strong cooperation. The Navy has been contributing to the mine action group for more than a decade, this time an Estonian officer will head the unit’s headquarters,
said the commander of the Estonian Navy, the captain of the first rank Jüri Saska.

The anti-mine group consists of five ships, the flagship is the Dutch support ship Mercuur. The group also includes the Norwegian minesweeper Otra, the Dutch Urk, the Belgian Narcis and the German Bad Bevensen.

The exercise will take place from 11 to 25 May.

"They will be attended by up to 800 military personnel from 15 of NATO member states and alliance partners," the department said in a release.

According to the information, the events will be held “near Tallinn, the islands of Saaremaa, Hiiumaa and Muhu; several teams of divers and almost 20 ships of various purposes will be involved ”.

The task of the forces involved will be "the detection, mapping and destruction of explosive devices." Last year, Open Spirit took place in Latvia, where 58 explosive objects were detected and neutralized.

    The Balts are the first frontier in the confrontation with the Russian Federation ... yes, yes, I remember. Great and scary super rambs. As many as 5 thousand pieces.

          Nope - a lot of money is needed. And the freebie is over. The port of Tallinn is on its last legs, the local glands operate with almost zero profitability. But there is only one conclusion - Russia is to blame for everything.

        “I came Prince Yaroslav (Vsevolodovich) from his brother to Novgorod with the whole region and went to Kolyvan (Tallinn), and conquered all the land of Chyudskoye (modern estonia); but she brought a demon full of numbers, but she didn’t take the city, and she took a lot of gold. ” It used to be simpler. Come on, white-eyed miracles filled our faces. And the order. Valentin Pikul Revel, destroyers! Russian fleet! And then suddenly, independent Estonia .. Oh, this comrade Gorbachev ... Radish!

      But what anti-tank ditches they can dig ... I think that the Baltic is their business. It’s on their example that the Black Sea was dug up laughing

          Well, there is humor in what the Baltic army is. And the fact that their territories are convenient for deploying NATO invasion forces there is yes, you can’t do anything, Baltiysk is almost in full view of them. True, and they look similar to us. If everything comes close to the mess, then surely there is a plan for relocating the naval base.

      Paraphrasing the well-known phrase: whoever chooses security for freedom, most often loses both. Well, secured the "indisputable" support of NATO. What has become calmer? The flowerbeds were hit in the first place ...
