Poland and the Baltic states demand that the United States speed up the supply of weapons against the backdrop of the "Russian threat"

26

The Baltic countries and Poland demand that the United States speed up the supply of weapons, as well as expand the American military presence on the "eastern flank" of NATO to "contain Russia."

According to The Washington Post, Poland, as well as the Baltic states, called on the United States to increase military production in order to fulfill contracts for the supply of certain weapons to them. Recently, many countries, including the three Baltic states and Poland, have been supplying weapons to Ukraine and are in urgent need of replenishment of their arsenals against the backdrop of the "Russian threat." In the Baltics, they do not exclude that Russia, after Ukraine, will attack them, but there is nothing to defend with.



HIMARS, Reaper, counter-battery radars are what we will need the most in terms of (...) the combat power that will inevitably be needed to contain Russia

- said earlier Chancellor of the Ministry of Defense of Estonia Kusti Salm.

Poland generally started rearmament of the army, having purchased a fairly large number of weapons from the United States, in particular the Patriot air defense system, HIMARS MLRS, F-16 fighters, Tanks Abrams, and is now waiting for the Americans to deliver all this. Warsaw hopes that the United States will hurry up and provide the Polish army with new weapons and technology, since the "threats" from Russia are "only growing."

However, the United States is unlikely to be able to quickly fulfill the requests of the Baltic States and Poland, since the United States itself is experiencing problems with weapons and ammunition against the backdrop of constant supplies to Ukraine. Washington assumes that it will take several years to restore the military potential of the American army, and here you also need to work on the side. At the same time, the White House, headed by Biden, does not intend to refuse the supply of weapons to Ukraine.

        The Baltic countries have such a job. Trade in Russophobia. In addition to the possibilities for transshipment of goods and nature tourism, they have nothing to do.
        And the population is too large for such opportunities. So you have to barry with Russophobia in exchange for goodies from the USA

          I would not say that Estonia has "no shit". For example, it is enough to recall the company Milrem Robotics, whose products are purchased even by the Armed Forces of the Republic of Korea, as well as the Bundeswehr. Another example is the EOS C-VTOL drones produced in the same Estonia. Note that I am writing about high-tech serial products, and not about experimental products. And yet, if Estonia is such a Russophobic country as you claim, then explain to me why local Russian-speakers do not leave Estonia en masse under the resettlement programs for compatriots, but try to get Estonian passports?

            1. "For example, it is enough to recall the company Milrem Robotics whose products are purchased even by the Armed Forces of the Republic of Korea, as well as the Bundeswehr. Another example is the EOS C-VTOL drones produced in the same Estonia" -

            Question. What percentage of the state budget is created by tax revenues from these high-tech firms?

            2. "And yet, if Estonia is such a Russophobic country as you claim, then explain to me why local Russian-speakers do not leave Estonia en masse under the resettlement programs for compatriots, but try to get Estonian passports?"

            Question. Did you move often?

            I know people who have never left / left their city. I know people who have never moved out of their apartment. I know rare examples of people who moved from city to city.

            Moving to another country, even one's own (I'm talking about mother Russia) is associated with many problems of an economic and psychological nature (Europeans, mankurts, opportunists cannot understand). Russian-speakers would be happy to leave, but not yet. It's not because Estonia is such a cool country.

            Now I will give my opinion. I am easy going. Even though it's old. And I ate from an unloved country.

        since the "threats" from Russia are "only growing"

        Interesting. It is obvious to me, and to everyone here, that Russia will not be the first to attack a NATO country, Russia does not need it at all. And, nevertheless, Poland is preparing to the fullest and babbles something on the run about "threats" against them ...

      "We are strong and brave and we are holding back Russia with the last of our strength, so give us money and weapons and also send troops so that our girls (and guys too) have a solid income" - that's what is read between the lines.

      Why does it take several years to increase arms production? There is no need to set up new factories from scratch. Just increase the production of what is already being produced all the time. What kind of evidence or justification will the author have or is it just his Wishlist?

      Another arms race is entering its new phase.
      Russia urgently needs to raise the machine tool industry for the reproduction of the means of production, without this we cannot pull anything out.

      The bastards are afraid of revenge for the defiled graves of our soldiers, who were leveled with bulldozers.

      Threats from Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are rapidly growing. It's time for them to leave NATO and fight in an open field in a fair fight. And it's glorious to die (finally).

      To produce weapons, you need to buy a lot of things in Russia, and we have sanctions. The bug came out.
