NATO aviation received a third full-fledged air base in the Baltic States

NATO is expanding its presence along the Russian borders with military contingents, military equipment and new military bases. According to the air command of the alliance, a military airfield - an airbase - has been put into operation on the territory of Latvia.

A NATO military airbase appeared on the territory of Latvia in Lielvarde. It was put into "full-scale use" mode after modernization and certification. As stated in the air command of the alliance, the air base is fully ready to receive aircraft "at any time and in any weather."

It is noted that the Lielvarde airbase is the third in the Baltic states after the Amari airbases in Estonia and Siauliai in Lithuania. It will house a military transport aviation NATO, intelligence Drones long-range and fighter aircraft. In addition, the air base will serve as a "jump airfield" in the event of a military conflict with the "eastern neighbor" and a reserve site in case of disabling two other air bases in Estonia and Lithuania.

The first at the new air base will be the Danish Air Force F-16 fighters, which are due to arrive in Lielvarde in the near future.

Note that the new NATO airbase in the Baltic did not arise from scratch; since the 70s of the last century, a military airfield of the USSR Air Force was located in Lielvarde. Until 1993, MiG-27 fighters of the 899th Orsha Fighter Aviation Regiment were based there. In April 1993, in the Lielvarde garrison, the last solemn meeting in Latvia dedicated to the Victory Day took place, the regiment was reorganized and then based at the Buturlinovka airfield in the Voronezh region.

And let's compare with the Jews! It is not realistic to build an enemy warehouse next to Israel, not like an airbase. They will be bombed right there.
And take the United States. They almost unleashed the third world war and forced the USSR to take the missiles from Cuba!

But we are not Americans and Jews, and not even the Taliban - we respond to all threats asymmetrically. True, this does not make anyone hot or cold. The result is disastrous - Russia is in the ring of NATO's military infrastructure.

[mitroha]

a reserve site when two other air bases in Estonia and Lithuania are out of order.

That is, according to their "logic" we will destroy those two, but we will "forget" about this one. Lord, how right was Zadornov ...

[alystan]

It's a pity, of course, that they were allowed to "escape" from Afghanistan ...
But the Baltics are not Afghanistan, here the "climate is different" (V. Vysotsky) and all of Europe is just a stone's throw away, but the crappy thing is that NATO is already within walking distance of us and continues to quietly prepare its foothold against you know who !?
They are vile, like an airfield not like the Russian one in Zap. Belarus, and even the union state, they bastards "raise" such a universal howl, set up the whole world against the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, whine the same stinking Balts with the Poles (with the Ukrainians in the bargain), but from time to time Old Man supported their side (though not in the last time) that the Kremlin often gives up its positions. But it is necessary, at least, to act according to their patterns and lay down a big bolt on their whole howl! And it would be wrong and rash on our part to simply argue that we can also, since the Taliban were able to do so. From my point of view, the Taliban and the Americans had something like a giveaway game, some kind of business in the war ...

Not at all. After the collapse of the Union, the former RSFSR got rid of the old aircraft, leaving only 4th generation combat aircraft in its Air Force ...

[d1975]

As far as we know, the MiG 27 with the Kaira system was really nothing. And the plane itself is good. Comrade very well in Afghanistan ironed on it in the mountains. In the first Chechen war, there were not even enough of them 27. We do not have exactly, only distortions. There were only 2 aircraft left, and even many of them 27 could fly and fly.

And it would be good for our Defense Ministry to send the Latvian authorities an official document indicating the targets on the territory of the country, which have already been targeted and will be subjected to nuclear bombing in the event of an armed conflict with NATO, first of all, indicating the coordinates. Capitals must be present there without fail.
Let them know and wait. Fear is a good motivator for peaceful coexistence.
And so to every NATO country.

Why nuclear at once? Missile strikes not enough? And send the document - so then they will wave this document at all corners. Is it necessary? "Quietly and silently" works well too

[prior]

A nuclear strike is when they want to destroy, not seize, not conquer for subsequent occupation. In the event of a war with NATO, missile strikes are not enough.
Therefore, nuclear, so that they do not think that we are encroaching on something or are going to conquer, which they are constantly whining about now.
And officially and loudly, so that they know unequivocally: the man said - the man will do it.

And the fact that they "stink" will be about this, so from that. Already now the "stench" is unbearable for no reason.

Do you think they themselves do not know?
They know.
But they were assigned to "poke a bear with a stick" and they have to do this job. One side.
On the other hand, that's why they all ran after the collapse of the USSR into NATO, hoping for the protection of the "big brother".
"America is with us" is their main slogan.
True, they do not understand that for America they are not brothers at all, but a servant. And who understands, does not tell others, this is the job.

[prior]

They know - they don't know, guess or hope that the missiles will fly by ...
And here - an official document, you rock the boat - you burn, and a foreign uncle will not help.
Big American brother should also get a paper from Shoigu with his cities and goals.
Maybe then he will hold back his "watchdogs" so that they don't bark in vain.

If this is not stopped, sooner or later a continuous NATO strike position will form around Russia, capable of delivering a disarming blow and not allowing Russia to respond. Russia should immediately announce an ultimatum to the West, according to which either the West itself removes its bases away from the border, or Russian missiles will do it. Otherwise tomorrow will be too late.

Every creature on the airbase ...

[Falcon iba]

Lielvarde is the court airfield of the Ibash division. Šiauliai and Lotsiki are the home bases of two other air regiments. I hope at least Dvinsk will be overgrown with trees before NATO gets there. I had a chance to fly the last 15 VA aircraft when flying to Russia in July 1994 from this airfield.

[iouris]

It looks like 1991 is repeating itself. Only this time, the fish shouldn't get off the hook. It is not clear why the base near Kharkov is unacceptable, but in Emery, Lielvarde and Siauliai - this is normal. Why then "hypersound"? The Baltic States must be cleared of NATO bases and this must be done urgently.
