Military parade in Tallinn

161
Today, Estonia marks one of the main national holidays - the anniversary (98) of the formation of the Republic of Estonia. On this occasion, a military parade was held in the country, in which, as the Estonian press proudly reports, about one thousand one hundred servicemen took part. Representatives of the Defense Forces, the Academy of Homeland Security and the so-called Kaitseleit (Estonian "volunteer" formations) passed through Tallinn Square in Vabaduse. Portal Delphi publishes photographic materials of the military parade held in Tallinn.

In addition to the Estonian military, the military took part in the parade from other countries, in particular from the United States of America, Lithuania and Latvia.

Estonian general Riho Terras assumed command of the parade, and President Toomas Hendrik Ilves took the parade.

Military parade in Tallinn


Separate military formations on the parade looked especially ominous ...





In the parade was involved and military equipment in the amount of more than 90 units.

At the action in the center of the Estonian capital came the locals, apparently to raise the degree of patriotism which was awarded flags with NATO symbols.



The parade culminated in the passage of NATO fighters on Tallinn patrolling the “free” Baltic skies and protecting Estonia from the “aggressor”.

              I don’t know how anyone, but from the second photo, something eerie breathed! Not that it is scary, but somehow not pleasant, it resembles the living dead. They reminded me of the Germans from the movie "SMERSH", the same creepy green probably!

              In general, I like their "parades", after them any of our humorous show has a rest! I just want to tell the guys from the Baltic States, turn on the central Russian channels on May 9 and see what the PARADE should be!

              We wouldn't be disgraced with our "wooden soldiers"! lol

          When I served, we wrote off 0,9 on the left eye for health in the convoy ... They wrote off one - a large mole on his shoulder was rubbed with blood until blood, but there was no different tricky surgery, as now. Although he would not only have a mole, he would have agreed to cut off his hand, if only they hadn’t commissated ...

          And these ... Some kind of parody. They would drive the Americans out with prostitutes — that’s the parade. And then they drove some prostitutes ....

      The Baltic states owe us $ 350 billion for their freedom. On September 10, 1721 Peter I paid 2 million rubles (at the current rate, without interest, this is about $ 350 billion) to the Swedish Queen Ulrike Eleonora, for the territory of Ingria, part of Karelia, Estonia and Livonia. I bought them all with all the lands and pets and gave freedom.

Unwashed, terrifying special forces in Russia, such as a disguise in the amount of 2,5 pieces. Of an incomprehensible look, the berth workers are yachtsmen of the Olympic team of the country, for some reason with a fake curve sword from the time of the filming of three musketeers. Then you can fantasize, dudes with carts with a motor boat or an ice rink from the Abrams tank and so on.

    Separate military formations on the parade looked especially ominous ...
    Yes, yes: all 4!
    And in the third photo - they are blind... or maybe they are just so scary that they are not given weapons, so they go with sticks!

    I once served in the army for 2 years in Tallinn from 1984 to 1986. And then I worked for another 3 years. And what can I say - Estonians and military service are incompatible concepts, they lack the necessary qualities in their characters. They are worthless warriors, They swagger more. And it’s impossible to watch these parades without smiling. Estonians are generally peaceful, but it seems they have also been fooled by the West - in order to become a friend of the United States and its vassals they had to become an enemy of Russia. Or they could live together.

    "a military parade in which, as the Estonian press proudly reports, about one thousand hundred military personnel took part. Representatives of the Defense Forces, the Academy of Internal Security and the so-called Defense League marched through Tallinn's Vabaduse Square"

    In our regional center there are more military personnel and equipment at the parade, not to mention the demonstration of workers.
    In general, all this is sad :( As usual, the people are being manipulated by the top nationalists... What is Estonia? Smaller than Kuzbass in all respects, and Tallinn is the capital of the European-state, damn it! - ALREADY smaller than Kemerovo... But in Soviet times, people lived in Tallinn under a million people! And now everyone has fled, the rest are working as farm laborers for the Finns and the Germans, there is no industry, there is no work, no one needs tourism except the Russians, so they also dare the Russians in every way... What can I say ((It’s a pity for the people, they the top people are wiping their backs, but they - well, in Europe! (And now Europe is screwed. Only the revival of the alliance with Russia can save them, and in about five years it will be too late. Well, they don’t want to - and Khswami :)
