Spiegel declares that NATO is not capable in the near future to create a full-fledged rapid reaction force near the borders of Russia

37
Journalists of a reputable German edition Spiegel They prepared an article stating that the West frightened itself with the Russian threat, and now not everyone in the West knows how to get out of this situation. According to German journalists, all statements that the North Atlantic Alliance at the borders with Russia will create a full-fledged group of rapid response, is a bluff or revaluation of the alliance's own forces.

Spiegel declares that NATO is not capable in the near future to create a full-fledged rapid reaction force near the borders of Russia


Spiegel writes that creating a powerful group of rapid response (from Estonia to the Black Sea coast) will require huge amounts of money, which NATO simply does not have for such purposes. Therefore, NATO will have to either abandon many other projects, or call several divisions a “rapid response group”, the effectiveness of which raises certain doubts.

At the moment, NATO is talking about the presence of 5 thousands of troops in the "rapid reaction force". However, the speed of reaction in these units, judging by the analytics of Spiegel, leaves much to be desired. If initially it was planned that the group should deploy and enter the confrontation area in 48 hours, now, due to the lack of funds and weakness of training, first of all, the Eastern contingent, according to the most optimistic forecasts, this will take about 5 days. “Spiegel” is ironic, saying that due to the deployment time of five thousand NATO troops, it’s impossible to say that NATO has a rapid reaction force at the borders of Russia.

In addition, the Spiegel article states that the statements of high-ranking alliance officials about the alleged invasion of the Russian Armed Forces into Ukraine often contradict one another.

Mirror:
They always give the media information that is only half true. That says about a thousand Russian soldiers who support the rebels fighting in eastern Ukraine. After that, Philip Breedlove states that only half of them are. Often, the selection of words is inaccurate. Early last week, Breedlove spoke about special forces and regular units of the Russian army in Ukraine. A few days later, the general clarified his words, stating that we are talking primarily about training and instructor personnel, and not about troop groups.

        Rzhunimagu, as many as 5000 NATO military will be deployed at the front from the Baltic to the Black Sea, already for as many as FIVE days ?! My question is, what will the Russian army do all this time ?! Dying of laughter, watching them unfold "rapid reaction forces"?!

            If it was originally planned that the group should deploy and exit to the confrontation area in 48 hours

            Well, deer !!! And you didn’t think that everything is accurate to the contrary ... !!! If it is written 5 days, then this means as a maximum, 48 hours !!!!

          5000: 1500 km = 3,3 soldier per km request
          I’m afraid their police will bind the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation earlier - for illegal possession of weapons, crossing the border and lack of registration, and the FMS will expel them outside the Russian Federation Yes Yes True, there is a problem - the work of vessels (5000 cases!) Will increase

If you're lying, then at least train your memory to remember that you lied. Well, just like small children. What to do with you is to put something in a corner, so that you don’t lie.

        Recent exercises near Kaliningrad showed the deployment time of the RF Armed Forces from 2 hours to a day. This is taking into account the transfer of troops from other regions. And these are simple troops and not the forces of rapid deployment. From the speed of our forces like this NATO will not even have time to run away, as they will be captured in Magadan. Frost has a sobering effect on many hotheads.

      Yeah, and if they start to remove soldiers from other areas, then this will be direct aggression, in which case we will take measures up to a preventive strike. And they understand this, thank God. And it seems to me that they understand that the years of well-fed gay life in Europe almost left them without men. And that in the event of an armed conflict with the enemy, it’s not that equal, but even stronger than they can not withstand. Therefore, they come up with fairy tales.

      "it will take about 5 days"
      That is, Russia will sit for a whole working week and wait when this, if I may say so, "special forces" will arrive, turn around and stand up as an "insurmountable wall" ?! NATO members should think about how to quickly deflate from this desk ... In a quiet way.

      I only read the title. And I answer it. NATO is a wolf in sheep's clothing! No embellishment needed. If they attack us, they will cut our heads. First of all, the Zapadenskie "Ukrainians", but rather the eastern ones. We will be divided.
      But I think that one should not rest easy, looking at our sworn "friends"! The partisans have risen! No Ukraine, Belarus! Catholics, return to the Vatican! There is Belarus; Little Russia; Russia! No wonder the princes came to our northern forests! We will survive! We offer unity to the rest!

      to believe the newspapers is not to believe yourself. moreover, these are the "rapid reaction forces" of the entire NATO. and the forces in each country remained intact and no one is eager to transfer their army units under the command of NATO.

      in response, we stupidly close the valve on the pipes and wait for the reaction. The reaction will be inside Europe according to the classic:
      “War is not poker! It cannot be announced when you like! "(C) TCM

      Any politician starting a war sees in front of himself achievable goals. What goals may be of interest to Europe in Russia? -the raw materials that they are already buying. The point of sacrificing their army, population, etc. to individual states of Europe? lack of roads, etc. And this is in the best case. On average, THEY feed and drink OUR army. In the worst case, there is an anecdote about "Who was the control panel for starting the mop soaps?" rockets across relatively flat Europe (with the exception of the Alps and Pyrenees) will fill so many ...
      Therefore, there will be a screeching about "The Russians are coming" for a drink of dough, nothing more ...
