And by rail: In Britain, presented the logistics of the transfer of forces and means to Estonia

The British military department reported on the logistics of the transfer of forces and assets for future maneuvers into the territory of the Baltic. The British military will be deployed at the Estonian military base of Tapa. It is there that you need to move personnel and military equipment from bases in the United Kingdom.

It is noted that, despite problems with railway logistics, part of the cargo will be sent to Estonia precisely by rail. The train will proceed through the Channel Tunnel, then through France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Poland. After that, the trains will have to change the wheelsets during the transition to the "Soviet" railway track, which, as you know, is wider than the "European" one. After that, equipment will be delivered to Estonian territory through Lithuania and Latvia.

In addition, the British will deliver personnel and equipment to Estonia by air, by sea and by road.

A few comments by British users on the Department of Defense message about plans for the transfer are below.

User Stuart MacDonald:

It will be an “epic” operation. Interestingly, someone will tell us the numbers for the transfer and the cost of this transfer?

Robert Campbell:

It seems to me that the term Rapid ("fast" - approx. VO) is hardly suitable for such exercises ...

Meanwhile, there were reports of loading armored vehicles onto transport ships, including Tanks Abrams, 2nd Armored Brigade of the US Army, in one of the ports of the Netherlands.

We are talking about rotation events, during which other American units will arrive in Europe for an 9-month period.

Tanks are a drava of war, okay, the Estonians don't feel sorry for the Britons, but their crews are also visible.

They have these firewood - an armful of brushwood. Neither warm, nor cook food.

[Teberii]

Jokes are jokes, but they are seriously preparing and the next time everything can change.

But they are seriously preparing

Much more serious. They will move all their 227 tanks to Estonia and "rush" straight to Moscow. There will be "cruel" revenge for the Skripals' cat.

[hydrox]

It seems that these tanks are destined to stay in Estonia forever, because the removal of this scrap metal from Estonian marshes will be insanely costly and completely inconsistent with the concept of common sense, and there are no tasks or conditions to use.

In England, it’s not profitable to hand over metal, you have to pay for utilization, but in Estonia, on the contrary, the guys will quickly cut it and have enough for a drink. 60 tons of good metal, you can walk decently.

Estonians clearly do not know how to quickly "cut" composite armor (by the way, in general, there are few people and enterprises in the world that know how to do this), so we will look at their successes.

Just one Estonian switchman, who didn’t succeed ... tanks will go through Tallinn to Helsinki.

As Uncle Sema from Odessa said, "There are only three things that scare me in my life: smart blondes, generous Jews and nimble Estonians."

That nimble, yes, I look and wonder, the Jews are still children.

Did you mean "straight to Piitter"?

Previously, there were partisans, and quite skillfully disrupted the supply of Hitler's troops .. But now, there are satellites and precision weapons. All this "scope", British science fiction writers, will turn into zilch.

[rocket757]

They draw plans, insidious ... all the same, this "lion" is badly beaten by a moth! Maybe by the same route, they can ship the mothballs?

[vvvjak]

Quote: rocket757

Maybe, along the same route, they need to transfer mothballs?

It is noted that, despite problems with railway logistics, goods will be sent to Estonia by rail.

I’m interested in another thing, triebalt already like 20 years in Europe, what then garden plants they rut to themselves on the railway. will not change, under the pan-European standard?

[Roman070280]

Difficult and expensive ..
And you just need to change everything at once !! Because here it will not be possible to "reform" in parts .. then the existing supply will be disrupted ..
Imagine that we ourselves would decide to change the track width .. First we must break everything old and do it in a new way .. We won’t be able to replace somewhere old worn out with new ones of a different width .. with pieces ..))

And we don't need to change. As it was said, "a hell of a lot longer"
And the tribalts have a discrepancy, the "occupier" of the Soviet Union built a railway for them, and the "liberators" Europe does not give them money for integration

[Roman070280]

I gave an example not about Need, but about Impossibility !!

So the triebalt is not Russia, they just impossible is possible

[ALEXXX1983]

Expensive too.

Quote: ALEXXX1983

It’s not a big deal, but the fact that the main cargo flow from Russia goes, and it’s possible to change these cars really expensively and for a long time

[Deathmaker]

Amber dig and collect the garden. This is where the abilities end.

[rotmistr60]

The train will proceed through the Channel Tunnel, then through France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Poland. After that, the trains will have to change the wheelset

By the end of the exercise (kidding)? The shaved people would have sat on their islands and quietly drank five o'clock without puzzling how and at what cost to transfer their equipment to the Baltic states. But the corporate sense of "solidarity" is making a fuss.

[hydrox]

When the Britons "on the spot" get acquainted with the conditions for using this technique "in the vastness" of Estonia, they will only then understand WHAT stupidity they have blundered!

[Deathmaker]

What is the "sense of solidarity"? The usual "yes sir!"

[g1washntwn]

Where to get money for this "epic" transfer has long been suggested by the Swedes - to declare about a Russian submarine in the fountain of Tallinn and money for its search will immediately be found.

[Sergey39]

Estonia is turning into a training ground, and Britain is busy supplying targets for exercises.

[1536]

And missiles in response to British ports will fly along a shorter trajectory? Tanks, you know, they are going to throw, scum!

[hydrox]

But the tanks and in the swamps burn well ...

By Estonian standards, this is Rapid.

They strive closer to St. Petersburg and Moscow, though for another dozen, a hundred kilometers, the territory of Lithuania and Latvia did not suit. Apparently they want to annoy Russia more. Crazy. "Finish the game" someday and your island will drown.

[Forest]

In response, we also need to conduct exercises with the Tu-95 under the name "Desert Island" - let them howl.

[Ryaruav]

I don’t know what the NATO thinks about, but the Baltic gasket shoots through

[Deathmaker]

She not only shoots, but also passes through a maximum of a couple of days.

[Dikson]

eh .. a rusty mine would have surfaced in the Baltics on time .. You look and blazed Europe .. Is it interesting under the Law of the Sea that transporting military equipment from one country to another falls under the concept of a trophy?

[bar]

It will be an “epic” operation.

Impossible to disagree

[smihko]

From Tapa to Ivagorod - 100 km. Peter is 220 km away.
They bring them there and leave them on a hike.

[Deathmaker]

To transfer to the vassal the contents of the royal army - an old British tradition
