US and British air force electronic reconnaissance aircraft were seen near the borders of Russia after the Finnish authorities opened the sky to NATO aircraft

For the first time since the Finnish authorities opened to aviation NATO military bloc airspace of the country, the American and British electronic intelligence aircraft RC-135W Rivet Joint were seen near the borders of Russia in the region of the Leningrad region and Karelia. This is evidenced by data from the Flightradar service.

The Turkish parliamentary commission for external relations has approved a draft law that provides for Finland's membership in NATO. Finnish President Sauli Niiniste signed laws according to which the country is ready to become a member of the alliance. The approval of the documents by the head of state was the final event in the process of ratifying Finland's entry into the military bloc. By signing the agreements, Niiniste expressed his full commitment to the obligations set forth in these documents.

Until recently, the only obstacle on Finland's path to NATO was the position of the Turkish and Hungarian parliaments, which refused to approve the corresponding agreement. However, on the eve of the presidential elections in Turkey, the parliament of this country nevertheless decided to sign the relevant bill approving Finland's entry into the military bloc. It is expected that the Hungarian parliament, following Turkey, will soon approve Finland's application.

The authorities of Sweden and Finland decided to abandon neutrality and join NATO in May last year. Currently, both applications have been approved by the governments of 28 of the 30 alliance countries. Ankara sharply toughened its position regarding Sweden's entry into NATO after the action with the public burning of the Koran in Stockholm, carried out with the permission of the country's authorities. However, recently the Turkish authorities have been declaring that they are ready to approve the entry into the alliance, first of Finland, and then, possibly, of Sweden.

Who would doubt what? Is it that all the achievements of the USSR in foreign policy have been successfully buried by the current government?
And what inconvenience did Finland receive in response to aggressive actions? Did the Finnish embassy in Russia leave for their homeland? Is the Vyborg-St. Petersburg highway closed for the passage of Finnish enemies? did some channel stop letting Finnish ships through? Timber of the Russian Federation ceased to be delivered to Finland?
What did the Finns get in return for their attachment to American values?
Yes, nothing has changed ... Who will allow you to get into the pocket of a private entrepreneur?
I’m even embarrassed to ask where the gasoline comes from and whether there are gas pipelines from the Russian Federation, like to Ukraine?

[Volunteer Marek]

Exactly! Unfortunately, no one will answer these questions, although they excite and worry all those who are not indifferent. Oh, they still remain.

Sergio_7 .... Now the border with NATO will increase by 1300 km....

Officially, yes. And unofficially, it (the border with Finland) has been all the time, since Soviet times, as with NATO. This was especially felt during the May holidays, when the CP VPVO almost had to spend the night and every week they necessarily worked out the materials of objective control on the actions of aviation from the Finnish side.
After all, tov. Rust, I remember, also flew from Helsinki, so nothing really has changed since then.

[Diger]

You write nonsense.
One of the most peaceful frontiers.
What is the USSR, what is the Russian Federation. Was
Rust has nothing to do with it.
Finnish air defense (radiolocation₽ - so-so.
He crossed PySy and the border of the USSR in Kohtla-Jarve, that is, in present-day Estonia

[donavi49]

This is how it looks on the map. In general, Finland allows you to probe interesting objects by remote methods.

[B44]

This looks bad. They can operate so close that they will not even have time to raise air defenses if they take off from airfields close to the border. Where can I get air defense to cover such a stretched border?

[blackGRAIL]

Air defense troops do not cover the border. From the word at all. Air defense covers specific objects: administrative and industrial regions / centers.

[DMFalke]

So, they pushed back, pushed back the border with NATO in the south, and she was cool, and she ended up right under St. Petersburg. Chess players.

[LTCNL]

Do not fool around, it would have happened in any case, as with the "non-expansion" of NATO to the East, the only question was time.

[DMFalke]

Not in any, but in this one. In 2014, we prevented the US from occupying Crimea. And relaxed, apparently. They played the game "Ukraine" in such a way that they got Finland and Sweden. And it doesn’t matter anymore - tomorrow the independent border will collapse, in years - the border with the Russian Federation and NATO will still be close to the west (Ukraine will be there or Poland - it doesn’t matter), and now also close to the north.
Now only one question remains - the missiles will be located 100 km, 200 km from our border or 300 km.

[tralflot1832]

They called our troops in Karelia - the Karelian Corps, they are looking for places to deploy nothing unusual. It's time to restore airfields in Karelia. Passing by one, I saw concrete hangars as in my time in the GSVG. something to return to the White Sea.

[Mol_18]

This was worth the wait. A little time will pass and Sweden will enter the alliance with their good military-industrial complex, Finland, which will allow them to get closer to St. Petersburg, they will allow them to place their cruise missiles on the Scandinavian Peninsula. subject to the militarization of the military-industrial complex of NATO, then Sweden will help economically, plus the Swedes have excellent Archer self-propelled guns, and their infantry fighting vehicles, as well as mortars on the platform. Their development will work for NATO. It is also necessary to start militizing the economy and preparing for war in the foreseeable future. and end this war.

[Bolt cutter]

Sweden with their good military-industrial complex

Their military-industrial complex was already at the disposal of anyone who had money. And cruise missiles could have been placed in Estonia anyway, and there the bridge leads to Russia.

[Mol_18]

But they went along the path to impose on all sides. A little time will pass, and they will look into Asia in Kazakhstan, it is not calm there now, then the property of Roskosmos will be arrested, etc. And then there is Georgia and Azerbaijan.

[B44]

Estonia doesn't have an army, it won't even be able to protect these missiles. Finland is, they have a small but good army and good NATO equipment, besides the war on such terrain greatly rewards Finland as a defender.

[donavi49]

Estonia has 2 brigades, which are pretty well packed. One brigade on SV90.

K9 - moreover, after the well-known events of February last year, 12 more pieces were ordered (total will be 36 K9).

Taking into account actually 2 predictable and fortified directions of the offensive, it will not work out immediately in three days. And do not forget about the forces of NATO's permanent presence. Now there are more than a thousand British and heavy parts of the Americans. They will immediately be smeared with blood and politicians will no longer jump off with all their will.

Die Briten und ihre "Metastase" die US-Amerikaner werden niemals
aufhören, Russland and China bis aufs Blut zu reizen, deshalb sollte
man ihnen endlich den "Dienst erweisen" und sie in den Staub treten!!

Die einzige Sprache diese Staaten von Völkermördern verstehen,
ist ausschließlich die Sprache der Gewalt und nur SO kann man sich
mit diesen Herrschaften "verständigen"...!!!

Noch während sie sich strategisch "zieren", eine friedliche Lösung
in der Ukraine auch nur in Erwägung zu ziehen, planen sie bereits
eine riesige US-Militär-Basis in Polen...!!

Man kann ja unterschiedlicher Auffassung sein, was die Anwendung
nuklearer Waffen angeht, aber bisher hat mir noch keiner wirklich
eine andere Methode vorgeschlagen, sich diese US-Filzläuse
endlich vom Halse zu schaffen...!!?!

[Sergey_Simonov]

Well said.
Und sehr genau!
As for the Finns...
They have changed their independence.
And mutually beneficial cooperation with Russia.
To the knee-elbow position.
And it's probably not even the Finns as a people.
And in those prostitutes who "rule" there.
Run by the Fashington pimps.
Global Satanists have long worked out the process of submission
and zombification of small countries ...
But the saddest thing for the Finns is that everything that guarantees them
membership in the NATO Reich is a scorched thermonuclear wasteland (in which case)

[Diger]

And it's probably not even the Finns as a people.

Try to go to Finland on am with Russian numbers. Or visit the store...
You will be somewhat surprised.

Quote: Sergey_Simonov

And it's probably not even in the Finns

In Finns. Opinion polls show that the majority of Finns have a cool-reserved attitude towards Russia at best (56% in early 2000) or negatively (especially after 2020, i.e. still BEFORE). The best attitude is in the elderly, moderately right and without higher education. Worst of all - among young people and specifically among students, leftists and greens, the factor of education has already been mentioned.

Quote: Sergey_Simonov

And mutually beneficial cooperation with Russia.

Not everything is measured in money, as you can see.

Quote: Sergey_Simonov

everything that guarantees them
membership in the NATO Reich,

..this is complete confidence that it would never occur to anyone in Moscow to start denazification, protect the Russian-speaking people, return the ancestral territories, ensure the security of St. Petersburg - emphasize the necessary.

[sagitovich]

Exit one. Chop off this hydra's main head so that it doesn't raise others.

[km-21]

First, we will be accustomed to close reconnaissance flights.
Then the bombers.
And then...

[Volunteer Marek]

This was all expected. The question is: how do we answer? Although, the answer should have been yesterday.

[tralflot1832]

No wonder everyone follows each other.

[Stepan S]

We need our own RER aircraft and many aircraft for permanent duty along NATO borders. And then somehow showing some figs from the ground and expressing concerns is of little use.

[Hitriy Zhuk]

Maybe it was worth nudging them with calibers until they entered?
And they would not do anything, and it would be nice.

[GRIGORIY76]

Interestingly, when planning your own, the entry of Sweden and Finland into NATO was calculated?

Yes, especially the planner and planners did not bother.

Eines ist wohl nahezu Jedem klar, wenn Russland seine immer
noch eher defensive Haltung gegenüber den ganzen, waffenliefernden
Feind-Staaten nicht endlich ändert und knallhart durchgreift, dann
wird es irgendwann zu spät hierfür sein...!!

In Deutschland gibt es den Spruch "Wehret den Anfängen"...; ich hoffe
