"Have there been fewer threats from Russia?" Questions arose in the Baltics in connection with the suspension of the activities of the "Baltic Battalion"

The Baltic republics have decided to suspend the activities of one of their joint projects in the military sphere. We are talking about a joint battalion of the armed forces of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania - BaltBat.

The defense ministries of the three countries decided that the battalion would suspend its activities and "temporarily" stop funding from January 1, 2021. The military departments said that in the coming years they plan to focus more on cooperation in areas such as intelligence, providing "non-lethal" operations and joint training in fire support for troops.

The project of the joint "Baltic battalion" began to be implemented in 1994. Then a tripartite agreement was signed in Riga, in which the tasks of the battalion being formed were defined as peacekeeping. By 1997, BaltBat was finally formed. He began to be used during peacekeeping missions in which the troops of Sweden and Denmark were in charge.

In the early 2000s, brothers of the Baltic Battalion began to appear, including the Lithuanian-Danish LitBat and the Estonian-Finnish EstBat. From 2002 to 2014 BaltBat actually existed formally. The battalion did not participate in any independent missions and operations. In 2014, Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius decided to restore the battalion's activities, announcing the "growth of the Russian threat in connection with the events in Crimea and Donbass."

Now it has been decided to "suspend" the financing of the battalion.

In the Baltic States, this raised questions. One of them sounded like this: "Have there been fewer threats from Russia?"

The military departments of the three countries do not answer this question, but they say that from 2021 the cooperation of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in the military sphere "will continue in a different format." Among other things, they called interaction within the framework of "joint courses, trainings, seminars, staff talks and military competitions."

Damn, well, there is not enough money to finance the "Baltic battalion" - reduce it to a company, platoon, squad. Well, or at least leave the "Baltic patrol" (one electric scooter with bluetooth in your ear from the country). Well, otherwise, what else are we going to laugh at VO?

This is a must, because

seminars, staff talks

Around on patrol, what will be missed from the headquarters conversation

[Tatyana]

To make cakes in the form of the national flag of your state, then cut it with a knife and devour it, turning it into human waste that is flushed down the toilet when the body is emptied, - I consider it an insulting outrage against the state flag of any country.
It is strange that Estonians do not understand this! Apparently, liberal pro-Western tolerance melted their brains.

As many as THREE "states" were mastered by only one battalion. And then they overstrained.

Tribaltov's warriors are giving less and less money for sawing, so they have to close the parasitic structures. After all, money is needed to buy any Western military junk at an exorbitant price.

Well, we do not know, maybe they take skill, dexterity.
Can...
Or maybe they just .. take)

In 4 years it will be the entire armed forces of one of these countries. And after 6-8 and all three

And to put in your pocket? Not? Is it only in Ukraine that they do this?

an interesting question: were they? threats ah? as you know, the most fanatical atheists are the former priests. the biggest Russophobes are those who fed at her expense in three hari IMHO.

NATO has finally understood that the "Baltic battalions" are down the drain.

[Alexander Kopychev]

Yes, all this is NATO in Europe - money down the drain. They demonstrate presence and nothing more, well, let them be present. I'm not like a battalion, the whole POLK won't scare me

Yes, a photo for an encore. You have to figure out how to cut the cake in the form of a national flag ... (what did Lavrov say there?)
And in general, it feels like this troika has an idea of ​​the army solely being a gasket between the chair and the monitor.

Because there is a ring on the finger - Iskander !!!

And sho happened with the valiant tribals. Probably a lot of tension with tugriks. That's bad luck. And sho NATA, does not give, well, think about it. These mongrels bark-bark at Russia, and they have a hell of a bump. Obey, abidna, yes.

They don't have creative thinking. It is necessary for them, illegally to appeal, plaintively, to Shoigu, so that he would send a couple of SUs to fly near the borders of the Baltic states, you see, the "warriors of light" would still be prokayfavali in barracks, with a menacing look.

[Alexander Kopychev]

These mongrels bark-bark at Russia

It still pays well ... And the conductor is competent there.

[Ros 56]

And why is the battalion sent into oblivion?

[Alexander Kopychev]

Enough separation This clownery amuses immensely

[Prisoner]

Look how they strip the flag. It seems that it has not yet reached the Estonians.

[Lord]

They would say that they cannot recruit people for the battalion

You will die out like mammoths in a generation, who need problems with your conquest. You yourself will ask ..................

[rotmistr60]

cooperation between Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in the military sphere "will continue in a different format"

In the fight against the "Russian threat" the main thing is to choose the right format. Whoever chooses the correct format first is on horseback, and Russia is on its knees underfoot. We refuse any ... baht, because. let's save money and focus on talks and seminars. Cheap and most importantly sounds beautiful, modern. Oh, these Tribalts are no good, but they stink effectively.

[Alexander Kopychev]

Already a whole botalion, God forgive me! Opposed to Mother Russei!

Made laugh !!! Thank you!

[alex neym_2]

An interesting coincidence: as soon as the cargo traffic from Russia and Belarus decreased, there is not enough money for the army? Ask the mattress makers - maybe they will!

[Alexander Vorontsov]

as intelligence, providing "non-lethal" operations

Correctly. Because for the lethal they will break))
And non-lethal operations such as "painting fences" "ennobling the territory of a unit" - so no one is against it.

[gsev]

The only real threat to the Baltics in the near future is Covid-19-2. Perhaps it is this infection that makes you save on threats towards Russia.

[gjkrjdybr50]

At Solovyov's, in his "Evening ..." Vasil Vakarov recently rejoiced that they too were participating in the "united armed forces" of the Tribaltic republics. And here is such a sadness!
