Britain relocates Typhoon planes and 150 troops to Lithuanian Šiauliai

2 May 2020 42

150 British troops sent to Lithuania. We are talking about military personnel who are members of the 135th expeditionary detachment of the Royal Air Force. The British Ministry of Defense talks about the reasons for the relocation.

It is noted that the British are arriving in Lithuania to replace other NATO troops who participated in a mission called "NATO Air Police to Protect Airspace over the Baltic Region." According to some reports, they are changing the personnel of the "air police" from Spain and Belgium.

The decision to transfer the British military from the base of Lossimuth (Scotland) was not easy for the command. The fact is that the question was initially considered either of postponing rotation measures, or even of temporarily abandoning the patrol of airspace over the Baltic from the airfields of the Baltic republics. The cause was coronavirus.

Now, the British military department says that "all safety measures have been taken to protect pilots and technical managers from infection."

It is known that British servicemen and military equipment, including Typhoon fighters, are stationed at the airfield of Lithuanian Siauliai.

Thus, the number of British troops in the Baltic for the summer will increase, reaching almost 1000 people. The fact is that in Estonia there are currently over 800 British soldiers and officers.

UK Secretary of Defense:

We will maintain security in the Baltic region. Our Typhoon fighters will rise from an airfield in Lithuania if any aircraft approaches the borders of the Baltic countries or flies with the transponder turned off.

They are not "air policemen", but the peddlers of KoVi19, so to speak: "share the common European value"

  Yes, judging by the number of deaths from KoVi19 in Britain, especially in dynamics, things are deplorable there as in the United States. And first of all the poor people suffer.

      Yes, it began in 2004 with four fighters of the air forces of one of the NATO countries with their change to the airplanes of another country every three months (from March 31, 2006 - every four months), and now, cockroaches have spread across the Baltic

        In fact, this map does not display airspace surveillance objects, as in Karmelava. Two more focal points in Latvia and Estonia, radar positions and data transmission infrastructure. This is perhaps the most significant part of NATO infrastructure, everything else is secondary

        Here I agree with the answer of A. Staver, from 3.07.17.
        Alas, the answer will be really local. For a specific country. For a specific army. And even the loss of serious army units in this "otvetku" will not lead to the development of the conflict. There will be regular "regrets, concerns, the search for a diplomatic solution" ... Only now there will probably be no more countries that will be hit.
        What are my statements based on? On the events of recent years. More precisely, on the tragedies of recent years. Downed Russian plane by a pilot of a NATO member country led to war between NATO and Russia? The "stupid" "Tomahawks" that "did not want" to fulfill their combat mission, led to war? "Accidentally" sunk Russian spy ship led to war? A long-term outage of an American warship in the South China Sea led to war? ...

        I personally do not believe in local kipish on a European TVD with the participation of the Russian Federation. If anyone tries to drag Russia in - only a suicide, in his right mind this is unrealistic. And the western direction is not 'proud Georgians', this is Nata. The most nervous post in the Russian Federation is the operational duty officer of the General Staff in the western direction, as it is called there. It is he, not the GDP, not Shoigu and no one, it is this Operational who will have to make decisions under which later, if possible, the Commander-in-Chief and others will sign

Inspired ... What is it to build a modern airfield that accepts all types of aircraft ?! These are billions invested by the USSR in their construction in the countries of the Warsaw Pact and the Baltic states. I have visited many. And all this went to NATO for free. Moreover, now they are all used against Russia. My heart bleeds!

  There, the locals also did not remain in debt, and inspire the “defenders” from time to time with inspiration, they teach manners. The receiving party was forced to organize a military police unit in order to protect the 'defenders' from the local ones and protect the airfield

  They flew over the USSR for several years with impunity (fotka our military facilities) .. And got what they deserved .. Powers changed to Abel! Powers passed everything and everyone, unlike Abel
  This "unbreakable" aircraft was shot down by the US reconnaissance aircraft with the very first S-75 "Dvina" missile, but there was such nervous tension that 14 more missiles were allowed to catch up, even unfortunately they shot down their own.
  More than the United States was already afraid to fly into us .. The truth is, the Boeing of South Korea with passengers and reconnaissance equipment was launched to us .. But we all know, such a howl rose horror bastards But this was a direct threat to the USSR and I think that it was shot down correctly .. Although it’s a pity but first of all, the security of the country (then the amers of September 11 also knocked everyone down (passenger), who did not answer the callsigns ..

I can imagine how hard it is for the "poor" NATO members to rush between the deployment of troops and military facilities in the forward zone, which, in terms of its military-geographical position, is not defended in principle and to convince the population of the Baltic states, frightened by horror stories about “Russian aggression”, that a “friend” (that is, NATO) will come to the rescue and will not leave it in trouble.
Hence, the many-day and thousand-kilometer “dragoon raids” on the roads of Eastern Europe of battalions from as many NATO countries as possible, which are hardly possible in real military conditions, but look so beautiful in the media, and in which case facilitates the application of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty on the principle "Ours are beaten."

Typhoon is a barrel organ of level f-16, inferior to it in most indicators, but with a thrust vector.
And for its three prices.
