The first batch of Mistral 3 anti-aircraft missiles arrived in Estonia

Estonia became the first foreign country to receive French anti-aircraft missiles of the new generation Mistral 3, which are designed to hit targets at low and medium altitudes, reports MIC with reference to the press service of the Estonian Defense Ministry.

"Rockets with new engines are capable of hitting targets at a greater height and with greater speed; they are able to separate true targets from false ones," the release says.

“The purchase of new anti-aircraft missiles is important for enhancing Estonia’s defense capability for many reasons, since the current means of air transportation are capable of flying in various weather conditions at low altitudes, the targets are getting smaller and have increased means of protection,” Harles said. Koska.

The contract with the manufacturing company MBDA was concluded in March of 2015. In addition to anti-aircraft guns, Estonia also receives anti-tank missiles MILAN from the same manufacturer.

For the first time, Mistral rockets of an earlier modification were delivered to Estonia in 2009. Now they are in service with air defense forces in 30 countries.

Airfields in Pskov and Ostrov are quite close to the state border with NATO (less than 50 km) and from Estonia. In the event of a crew navigation error, entry into the airspace of Estonia or Latvia is possible. They can also "shmalnut" following the example of the "elder brother" (Turkey is a NATO member).

Something you disagreed about the Estonian brothers. Do not go to a fortune-teller, this political decision will come with a rollback. The people who created the airspace surveillance system in Estonia understood the consequences very well. They did not need instructions from behind a puddle, they knew perfectly well that they would "crumple" anyway. They did not even want to guard their radar, they knew that there was no point in this, the result would be the same - they would destroy it. Where they served until the collapse of the fools were not kept. But time is unstoppable, now there are other "heroes", and they studied, guess where?

2. According to Credit Suisse for 2014. in terms of well-being among people over 20 years of age (only personal assets and liabilities), 1 Estonian is approximately equal to 3 Russians. And in this the average Estonian is approximately equal to the average Czech.

And so I am very happy for my countrymen. I just can’t understand where so much money comes from, if there is no industry and the state budget a large percentage consists of EU handouts.
And why the availability of such wealth is declining.
If the population of Russia disappeared as fast as it happens in the Baltic states, then the accumulated wealth for every Russian would have accounted for even more.
There is a lie, there is a big lie, and there are statistics.
And you could not a reference to the Russian press. otherwise there are a lot of press in Russia, you won’t read the whole thing.

Patriotism is good, worse when it is replaced by idiocy.
Once again: Estonia, like the rest of the Baltic republics, is a bridgehead that is saturated with troops. From Narva to St. Petersburg 160 km (!!!). In Estonia, there are two modern military airfields inhabited and flown by NATO aircraft, an ice-free port, and a NATO cybersecurity center in Estonia. In Soviet times, the number of engineers per capita in Estonia was the highest in the Union; universities remained and are functioning.
The local army is only 5000 people, together with headquarters, etc., but there are 25000 kitesellers (partisans). It is unwise to look at Estonia separately from the Leopards in Finland.
About the Balts as a military - remember the story. Latvian arrows, Estonian Corps. They fought much better than the national divisions from the Caucasus (who missed the Wehrmacht in the Crimea and why, inquire).
Shapkozakidatelstvo sofa strategists-"patriots" on the site begins to annoy.

[Sausuolis]

Conflict in only one of the Baltic countries is unlikely, so add 8000 Latvian volunteers and 5000 military personnel and 7000 Lithuanian shooters, 5000 volunteers and 12 military.
It’s clear from the numbers that there can’t be any attack on their part, but in the case of defense, the enemy will easily break them.

Tallinn, Vilnius and Riga had fallen much earlier why would you like to ask! Valiant priests were more often shot in the back. In general, it was not in the Caucasus or the Baltic states that there were completely no national divisions; all the divisions were 60-80% manned non-native.

It is necessary to directly admit the strengthening of the military component of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania in recent years, cheers-patriots have already shouted about the purchase of old armored vehicles by Lithuania, it turned out that from the old they only have the name. there is no need to scream and laugh: the distances are too small, so this issue should be taken seriously. NATO will now try to "saturate" the Baltic states with everything necessary, maybe not entirely new, but quite effective weapon, given the real psychosis in the minds of the rulers and part of the citizens of these countries in relation to Russia (it is easier to try to fight with someone else's hands!), And then- we'll see how it goes.
