They will be attended by about 600 troops from the NATO permanent group and the Latvian armed forces stationed in Latvia, as well as about 100 pieces of military equipment.



The main goal of the exercises is to improve the coherence of the actions of the NATO and the Latvian army permanent group.

        Well, Putin can’t get used to it - he was already worse than Ebola ... Obama confirmed.
        But the plague in Europe in the Middle Ages is not Putin, is it? What does Europe say about this?

        Satan is sitting in hell and nervously smoking bamboo - waiting for Putin to be worse than him. Yesterday on CNN they said ... laughing

      Is it amazing how the French and the Spaniards could not get away with it, not to mention the Canadians? Or is there such a "contingent" that it's not a pity? And in the light of Anton Gutieras's statement, rotation does not shine for them ...

      Yes, let them learn to health. The result is still the same if something happens - they bang with "Tornadoes and" Hurricanes, and then tanks are stupid, after three hours there is no country .. And NATO will simply piss. Do not risk it.
      I am not "Hurray a patriot, I just judge by the quality and quantity.

        Yes, there the country is so vast that after a good blow the tanks have nothing to do there - to rub tracks in the desert-ashes?

      Is our? the government decided to send a parcel to Latgale, calls on everyone to stay at home, violators are fined, and then there are 600 soldiers. We still have less than 10 patients with the virus. After these exercises, something can change, because they will be fed and wiped by asses by local dignitaries. Although the people are indignant, they are useless.

      And if Cho happens, how will this hodgepodge fight? Well, all of them neither in Russian nor in the English language really understand. And everything is different for everyone, starting from the governing documents and ending with footcloths.

      These exercises are already causing great irritation to the local population. It is possible that foreign warriors will set fire to grass or forests, as in Adazi.
