Largest US exercises in Europe launched in Poland Defender 2020

The largest US exercises DEFENDER 2020 in recent years have started on the territory of Poland, at which the US military will work out the transfer of troops to Europe. This was announced by the Minister of National Security of Poland Mariusz Blaszczak.

We started the largest DEFENDER 2020 exercises in many years. About 37 thousand soldiers will take part in them, including 20 thousand from the USA.

he said, adding that the first US military had already crossed the Polish border and arrived in the republic.

According to published data from the Government Security Center of Poland, Defender 2020 exercises are not NATO exercises, but are US-level exercises of a divisional level.

Their main goal will be to test the ability of the American army to transfer ground forces from bases in the depths of the USA to ports on the east coast, and then to seaports in Europe

- the document says.

As previously reported, the exercises will be conducted under the command of the US military and will be aimed at developing the ability of the American army to quickly transfer from the US to Europe and deploy large forces on its territory, including equipment. As stated in the NATO command, during the exercises, the United States will transfer to Europe a record number of personnel and equipment over the past 25 years. The exercises will be held on the territory of European countries and Georgia, the main part will be held in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The main deployment is in Poland and the Baltic states.

About 20 thousand troops are expected to be thrown across the Atlantic to Europe, along with equipment. Most of the exercises will be held in April-May, after which part of the US military contingent will return to the United States by July, and some will remain in Europe, as a factor in deterring "Russian" aggression.

It’s time for the coronavirus to be pulled across Europe and then transferred to the states. To whom, if not the military, do this with maximum efficiency. And then carnivals collapse, the Olympics are in question ...

[Vladimir B.]

As soon as Russia begins military exercises, Western politicians and diplomats scream that we are preparing to attack the EU countries. Now NATO is conducting exercises in Poland, maybe our diplomat can begin to say that they are going to attack Russia, in particular the Kaliningrad region and give a note of protest about the exercises.

The most interesting thing is that 13 thousand units of military equipment will be involved in these exercises, 37 thousand troops will not be enough even for the crews, the number of troops is clearly underestimating.

It depends on what equipment (bike, ATV or BMP). One mechanic drive for the "cart" is quite enough, it will still remain.

The Poles are not bringing in Ukrainian troops - there, in fact, one Makhnovist "mechanic" will be enough for a cart. And in "Abrams", if Wikipedia does not lie, there are four of them. Yes, there are three in Bradley.
It's just that when I served, America had not yet supplied armored vehicles to either bearded or beardless barmalees, so I never saw the Abrams or Bradleys alive.

And if something heavier, there is an opinion that not all bridges in Poland are free to withstand it ....

Breaking Defense notes that the US has spent most of a century fighting in the deserts and is not at all ready for war in Europe ... "if there is only one bridge that you use to achieve your goal, it becomes a natural knot where the enemy can break your forces in parts when you cross it "https://rg.ru/2020/02/10/nato-provedet-v-evrope-samye-krupnye-voennye-ucheniia-so-vremen-holodnoj-vojny.html

and some will remain in Europe as a deterrent to "Russian" aggression.

So they also conceived to increase their contingent in Poland and the Baltic states under the "brand" of exercises? All right, the GDP of these countries from July will increase sharply from the amount of beer and pizza sold. I think the ladies with low social. will take part in filling it with responsibility ...

They themselves do not know how to count. They hope that we also do not know how.
As they know geography, we have already seen.

Missile defense in Poland is not from Russia at all, but from Iran

Now here is the story with math.

They, Americans, know how to count like my illiterate grandmother, for whom my grandfather even received and signed a pension.
You ask her: "I had 1 ruble 25 kopecks, my friend and I bought a bottle of lemonade for 35 kopecks and two cakes-potatoes for 9 kopecks, then the bottle was returned to the saleswoman, she returned us 20 kopecks. How much do I have left?" Answer without thinking, right to the penny.
Ask how much 125-18-35 + 20 will be - in a stupor ...

Nothing, thanks to the Unified State Exam, a generation is growing in our country that believes that 37 thousand soldiers are the crews of 13 thousand armored vehicles, plus technical personnel and infantry. That Poland shares a border with Iran. And, finally, my favorite is that you can bring the American fleet to the "shores of Belarus" and breathe in the "healing mountain air" in Rostov-on-Don (I remember with a tear the clever girl J. Psaki ).

A neighbor (75 years old), a retired mathematics teacher, is visited by two ninth-grade boys (she is friends with their grandmothers). He says that neither one nor the other knows how to use a protractor, does not know the multiplication table by heart, one of them counts 15 + 8 on his fingers. Not to mention the fact that every lesson she explains to them what a "discriminant" is. Both study at the lyceum, in algebra-geometry, both have "fours", they go to study then that grandmothers want "fives".

Shoot definitely! It's the same with us! One "joy" - pensioners are actively working part-time.

As far as I understand it is now normal. He himself was in the ranks of the Armed Forces during the West 2017 exercises. Officially, 1 BTGr participated from the VCh, not officially, 80% of the brigade's drugs left for the landfill.

[ochakow703]

And we always lose in this. We all try not to interfere ... Sometimes modesty is vicious.

[Olya Tsako]

I hope Italy is represented by a large number of troops, for a stronger integration of the forces of the entire NATO bloc?

[Amateur]

Well, we are waiting for the next generation of Afro-Poles.

If we take into account the Amer and European tolerance, the likelihood of offspring is very low.

Fools! Who and where will bury you in case of such a transfer? Have you decided to scare the Russian Bear with a Polish bald hedgehog?
Yes, no one in Russia is afraid of you, nor your maneuvers, nor your ability ... We remember, we know, we saw ...

[carstorm 11]

in fact, our GS is very curious. all this is an answer to the East when a huge mass of troops were transferred across the country and then 20 thousand in all.

[Prisoner]

They’ll look, the intelligence data will analyze, evaluate, spit and say, so the mattresses have nowhere to put money.

To reply with Iskander maneuvers in the Kaliningrad region and practicing the transfer of our ICBMs to the area of ​​Washington and New York (training exercises! Do not think what ...).

[rocket757]

Everything is interesting. It is by chance that it can gather in one tangle ...... studies, an epidemic, and even "bezhentsy" at the start ???
Here it will be .... an ambush if / when in real life the action begins!

[Romario_Argo]

you need to guess when American transports enter the North Sea, start there the Northern Fleet and Northern Fleet missile exercises in international waters, thereby temporarily blocking access to the Danish Straits, at least for a day
there will be good exercises on the transfer of troops with a delay of a day - consider the war lost

[Mountain shooter]

What a gorgeous goal - convoys in the Atlantic ... Boys Dönitz at 42 gloriously frolic there. And now? All kinds of long-range winged, homing ...
And for the war with Russia, it’s not necessary to transfer 20 thousand ... And not 200. No, it’s not serious. Although it looks menacing.

[Zoldat_A]

Quote: Mountain Shooter

No, not seriously. Although it looks menacing.

Terrible for the Baltic states. The Estonian army, after all. Even for the Poles it’s not serious. It's funny for us. In the case of a real war - all 20 thousand in the North Sea will go to feed herring before reaching the coast.

[anjey]

As stated in the NATO command, during the exercises, the United States will transfer to Europe a record number of personnel and equipment over the past 25 years.

It seems that we need to conduct something adequate and creative in response to the mandatory participation of a nuclear triad and new weapons against the backdrop of our philosophical and indifferent calm, and in the light of recent events in Syria, Turkey has become very stormy and not a fact, but to all these anti-Russian aggravations, ukronatsi, may well receive the FAS command from their American owners, to intensify in the Donbass.

[Jarserge]

Prostitutes will be dirtied in Poland for $$$$, villagers will be beaten up. The glory of European integration

[Prisoner]

I suspect that they will do the same with the villagers as they did with ... they won’t beat their faces in short. And Poland will definitely be dirtied.

[Ros 56]

All the participants in the exercises are waiting for the bloody coronavirus, oo-oo-oo-oo, striped and Lyakham kirdyk.

Well let them unfold. They chose it so-so for a while - it's dirty and cool yet.

[TatarinSSSR]

There is a widespread whipping up of military hysteria. Before the "after Putin" elections, it will only grow stronger and will reach its climax by election day. In the meantime, lobbyists and financiers from military industrial manufacturing companies are rubbing their hands gleefully.

What news. I won’t fall asleep now.

I remember the Germans in Gleivitz did without rehearsals. But whatever one may say, the occupation by Poland by the Junkers begins and is welcomed.
(The most important thing is that then from the States repatriation for the occupation is not required, otherwise it will become with them!)

[lvov_aleksey]

I don’t care, they already solved the problems of bridges and railways from past exercises, who knows ?!
