    "Call of propaganda" is how? To jam "Rashsha Today"? Freedom of CC is so free ...
    In fact, after the Crimean and Syrian operations that the CIA slept through, these NATO special forces should be called Estonian response forces.

        They have already shown their armed forces a hundred times because of the lattice of a bear making faces and they think how cool they are, they would not make anyone laugh.

    Field exercises will take place, not near the border of Russia, but in Western Europe. In my opinion, the Caspian flotilla made itself felt.

      Caspian Flotilla
      made herself known.


      Honestly, such a mosquito fleet armed with CALIBERS .... this is a big headache for NATO countries ....

      Dozens of such ships dispersed in different places and with calibers aimed at the same point and at the same time ... it seems to me that their strike cannot be repelled by any NATO air defense.

        KR is a difficult goal, but you shouldn't make them a wunder and super. However, our mosquito fleet is quite equipped with "Mosquitoes" for a pun, and there are ships with "Onyxes" too. In the United States, corvettes do not carry a sea-land thief and a ship-ship from the word in general, and ONR class frigates have a small ammunition load, they are not friendly with anti-ship missiles - "Harpoon" against the missile defense of our ships is not serious, they are used as part of a grouping, they do not have their own missile defense , only the semi-impotent "Phalanx" that does not cover the stern zone (in 1988 the Iraqi "Mirage" US frigate made a hole) are written off as obsolete.
        Due to this, light naval forces with heavy weapons and anti-ship missiles developed by the air defense system are a nightmare for potential partners, especially in closed waters.

    This means that nothing will be worked out. By the way, the script of the exercises they write Hollywood scriptwriters, under the obligation of non-disclosure. (Not a joke.)

    it seems to me that the Yankees, as part of NATO exercises, are trying to close the region of the Mediterranean Sea by excluding the Russian maritime component in the Syrian anti-terrorism campaign, it painfully pushed them around the head from using our Caliber ...

    Correctly. It is necessary to work out all possible varieties of flight: flight on a wide front, so to speak, strategic flight, tactical, well, flight to contact with the enemy.
    Well, the most important thing is to "master" the money allocated for this ...

    Trident Juncture 2015 (Trident Connection) An interesting name ... Is it not in honor of the Ukrainians? I would not be surprised if suddenly representatives of ukrov will be instructors and developers of operations. Who else besides them can teach NATO to systematically and in advance hit the boiler (Ilovaisky, Debaltsevsky), go through a meat grinder and present it as another victory ...

      1. A trident unites something or someone.
      2. The connection of the trident (base), but, considering that you mentioned two boilers known to us, and the trident has three teeth .... what What are they learning to get into the boiler? belay
