"To contain Russia": the President of Estonia called on the European Union to deploy air defense systems in the country

Estonia would like to have its own system Defense medium-range, but only at the expense of the European Union. The corresponding statement was made by the country's president, Kersti Kaljulaid.

The Estonian president offered the EU to finance the creation of air defense in the republic by purchasing medium-range anti-aircraft systems. Kaljulaid explained her desire quite simply - "containing Russia."

In her opinion, Estonia needs its own medium-range air defense system to defend against Russia. According to her, Estonia annually allocates more than 2% of the gross domestic product to NATO expenses, and there is no air defense in the Baltics. Therefore, the complexes should be purchased by the EU through the "European Union Cohesion Fund".

For the fifth year we sit in Brussels and say that the Baltic countries, including Estonia, spend more than 2% of the gross domestic product, but they still do not have, for example, medium-range air defense systems

- she said.

Note that Kersti Kaljulaid's appeal is far from the first. Earlier, the leaders of all three Baltic republics declared the need to create an air defense system to "protect against Russia". This issue has been raised several times over the years. However, NATO continues to keep its military contingent on the territory of the Baltic States, and organizes the air defense of the republics. aviation alliance on a rotational basis.

Kersti Kaljulaid is undoubtedly an interesting woman and her demand for the deployment of air defense in Estonia is legitimate, and the voiced reason about Russia's aggressiveness is nothing more than a pan-European brand lobbied by tycoons from the military-industrial complex!

[Vladimir Mashkov]

I look at this immediate funny - like all ... lessons - Kaljulaid and I think: does she really not understand that this air defense is nothing compared to the capabilities of Russia and will simply force Russia to add tiny Zstonia to the list of potential targets? Or does she obediently follow the prompts of the Americans?

and its requirement for the deployment of air defense systems in Estonia is legitimate

Legal but not acceptable. The tribalists took NATO under the tutelage with the words that they will calm down later, you must understand them, and this will not be directed against us. The Americans are already forgetting something there during the exercises. Air defense is generally unacceptable. All positions have practically surrendered after the Second World War, a disgrace

Guardianship is of course, but there is an opinion ..

"Let's say Russia attacked us. We begin to refer to Article 5: they say, NATO allies, come and protect us, because our borders have been violated and our constitutional order is under threat. But what will happen if an information war confuses the issue of where does this boundary begin at all? " She suggested. According to the prime minister, if Estonia does not have a border agreement with Russia, then its allies can be misled as to whether there was a border crossing at all and whether NATO's Article 20210422 can be used. https://sputnik-meedia.ee/Estonian_news/339347/XNUMX/premjer-estonia-esli-ne-zaklyuchim-pograndogovor-RF-NATO-nam-ne-pomozhet.html

Why is it legal? ESU became a military-political bloc, when?

[Avior]

Always according to article 42 of the treaty establishing the EU - this is an article on military cooperation

https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Consolidated_version_of_the_Treaty_on_European_Union/Title_V:_General_Provisions_on_the_Union%27s_External_Action_Service_and_Specific_Provisions_on_the_Common_Foreign_and_Security_Policy#SECTION_2:_PROVISIONS_ON_THE_COMMON_SECURITY_AND_DEFENCE_POLICY

Since 2001, the Military structures of the European Union have been created - the Military Committee, the military headquarters, the committee of the chiefs of staff, the air force, the gendarmerie, etc.

Nevertheless, the EU does not have any Army, but only command and control bodies ... without military units and subdivisions ...
You are mistaken from the composition of the national Armed Forces of the old NATO members under the NATO command in the areas in peacetime, formations and units are allocated ..., as well as formations that are transferred to NATO during the threatened period and in the event of war ...

[Avior]

In the EU, all this is also provided

Permanent Structured Cooperation on Security and Defense (PESCO) is a program of the EU member states aimed at closer cooperation in the field of security and defense, within the framework of the EU Global Strategy on Foreign and Security Policy [1]

It also forms the EU peacekeeping force.
It is another matter that in the presence of NATO, the EU military structures perform rather duplicating reserve functions and strengthen the EU component in NATO.

[Pete mitchell]

Quote: Avior

It also forms the EU peacekeeping force.

Let's just not remind the Serbs about EFOR - it was under them that most of the outrages happened... And nata set a record for the speed of making a decision on the creation of SFOR, it seems, they did it in 24 hours... Americans got a chance to demonstrate the inability of Europe without the Americans...
The main opponents of the creation of the Military Force EU are the staff, well, now they are already shaved

[Avior]

It is not clear what you mean.
Since 1995, the international IFOR mission has been operating in Bosnia, and since 1996, its successor, the SFOR mission, has been operating in Bosnia; both were based on NATO with the participation of other countries.
And since November 2004, the European Union (the EUFOR contingent within the framework of Operation Altea) assumed responsibility for the peacekeeping mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

[Pete mitchell]

Europe tried to start peacekeeping (it was under the auspices of the EU that the Russian contingent was invited), but could not do anything, for which it was sincerely despised by the locals; after they screwed up nata in a day made a decision on the introduction of its own peacekeeping contingent - these at least a little put the situation in order ... although the order was in the sector of the Russian Federation, Germany and, oddly enough, in Spanish. With the Russian Federation, everything is clear, among other things, the commanders, Russian and Serbian, studied at the General Staff Academy together. The Germans just toughly put things in order and no one even reproached them. History is silent as to how the Spaniards achieved order; in my case, these are the Belgian officers of the General Staff, they shared their personal impressions; the soldiers of the Russian contingent were remembered with respect.
Subsequently, a friend “ruled” the northern sector ... impressions ...

[fruc]

Estonia is a NATO member, and therefore requires (to protect the sky from the aggressive Russian Federation). I don't think the US will spend its taxpayers' money to meet the needs of some Estonia. NATO has secured its presence in this country and this is the main thing. And the USA expects military orders from Estonia, but for their money.

It was about the state, not about its head.

It's a good idea - air defense is free, and in the future the EU will be forced to allocate funds for the maintenance and upkeep of the complex(es). And even if it's small, there will be a budget replenishment.

They have enough weapons, many went there, among other things, to have a machine gun at home. They were drunk in the 90s normally playing war games. Wait, they do not take anyone without hitting.

[Finches]

The presence of weapons in the home of residents does not predetermine the level of combat readiness of the state! But it definitely adds to the anarchy.

[Pacquale Pestrini]

In Estonia, it is easy to get a permit for weapons, there is no anarchy, as you can see. Kaitseliit has a lot of good, equipment, artillery ... the idea is not bad, the army is small, and these ideological almost all, again, Estonians can be understood, 33% of Russian permanent residents, many Gaster from Ukraine, they understand that the Russians are most likely Russians will not shoot if that, well, I am not familiar with such, for example.

[Finches]

I'm talking about anarchy in the event of a full-scale war against the regular army!

[Pacquale Pestrini]

Any war on Estonian territory is unlikely to last more than a week. Then it was Kaitseliit who had to fight the partisans in the forests. As it is conceived. The regular army will be multiplied by 0 in a couple of days, I think.

You still need to be able to survive in the forest, I have some doubts about the current generation, but the old lady in the photo might just survive in the forest! The school is still Soviet!

And what does the ESU have to do with it, that it has its own aircraft?

So she, asking for it, remembered the strategic autonomy of the EU - “I tried to explain to the Americans too that from this point of view the European Union could be useful. Of course, at first a nervous situation arose when the EU started talking about strategic autonomy and the like. all the time to soften and control such tension "
"The concept of the EU's strategic autonomy implies, among other things, expanding the EU's ability to independently conduct military operations without relying on the US and NATO, where the United States plays a dominant role." https://tass.ru/mezhdunarodnaya-panorama/10187485 . Merkel and Macron's idea of ​​an EU army may be in a new wrapper... It asks and offers within the framework of this autonomy - "it could be the European Union's conduct, for example, of one operation in Libya without the help of NATO and the US." And it even considered that the EU may need 10-15 years to achieve full strategic autonomy from the US and NATO. Maybe it's just a desire to dress up its wish in a beautiful package, maybe... And at the same time "scold" NATO - "we've been sitting in Brussels for five years", "shall we create a new mechanism for distributing funds? The EU is more effective in this matter than NATO." But NATO's leadership is unlikely to like this...

[Vladimir61]

In response to the demand to equip the Estonian Armed Forces with air defense systems, the European Union sent three Chinese slingshots. The budget was not enough for ammunition, so the Estonian air defense forces were advised to shoot goat dung. The crew is 10 people.
