In Finland, began the international teaching BALTOPS

45
The first active phase of the international maneuvers BALTOPS-2016 was launched, which will take place on the Finnish island of Hanko from June 6 to June 8, TASS Post Finnish Navy.



The BALTOPS-2016 exercise led by the NATO Navy is being held for the 44 time. This year, Finland is taking the first phase of maneuvers, there will be three in all.

“In the Finnish part of the exercises, in addition to Finland, Sweden, the USA, the Netherlands, Italy, as well as the United Kingdom and Germany are involved. The goal of this phase is to develop the compatibility of the military units of the participating countries and to prepare for the tactical part of the exercise in Swedish Utö, ”the release says.

In addition, as part of the maneuvers, the Finns "will develop the skills of joint operations at sea with the Swedish Navy."

The report notes that "the Finnish coast offers quite good and difficult conditions for military training."

The need for Finland to participate in such exercises was explained by the Foreign Minister of this country, Timo Soini.

“International exercises are necessary for the development of both international defense and the national defense of Finland. This is one of the main elements of international cooperation in Finland. Finland participates in NATO exercises as a partner country based on its needs. When Finland participates in these exercises, the fundamental point is the added value that participation in such international exercises will give to our national defense. ”


According to the diplomat, "this is a general principle that applies to all international exercises in which Finland participates."

The Baltops-2016 exercise, in which 18 countries participated, began in the Estonian waters of June 3 and will last until June June 19. Maneuvers will end in the German port of Kiel.

        In Finland, began the international teaching BALTOPS

        And one bear dispersed them: laughing
        “The young bear frightened three thousand soldiers of the Kainuu paramilitary brigade, which is the largest training center for the land forces in the Finnish armed forces.

        According to the Iltalekhti newspaper, the bear made his way to the training base, where military exercises took place. He moved freely between tents, feasted on soldiers' food, and tore some things of the Finnish military.

        Finnish soldiers were seriously scared and hid in military trucks. There was an experienced hunter among the servicemen who suggested to his colleagues how to behave with the bear. "

          It is hard to say how much the exercises have become more frequent compared to previous years. There is clearly more information about the exercises. Obviously, the owners of the money are preparing a big fight and defiantly train cannon fodder from the goyim. But should we be afraid of the teachings?

        Why then work out a combined landing on the sandy Baltic beaches if you are planning to drape? Maybe drape, but the question is which way are they going to do with weapons.
        The exercises are offensive in order to fetter the actions of our fleet and, under the guise of their naval forces, deploy and engage a land army group. Here is a demonstration landing last year, I did not notice much panic.
        I want to note that in our headquarters they are not guided by the idea that they will fight with sea landing or with the offensive of army corps in volleys of ballistic missiles at the Pentagon and Brussels. No, they conduct similar exercises by the forces of our army and navy in cooperation with Belarus.

          Alexander, your grandfather meant those Finns of 39, when there was still national pride and love of freedom. These were the times when the Finns possessed the so-called. "sissu", that is. patience and perseverance. Believe me, now, after close communication with the "civilized" European society, this is a piecemeal manifestation, the rest can only be in hockey and sports in general. And so, jelly from a homopedophilic party, a buy-and-sell public with elements of quiet alcoholism, though on Russian soil, because on their own they will rot with fines and social welfare services for the speedy healing of the disease. They are our neighbors, we see, analyze and have no illusions! hi

            As you say, if you compare the inhabitants of 2 cities: Lappeenranta and Viipori (aka Vyborg), it does not seem to me at all that the Finns have become even weaker and worse in some ways.

Only they can be seen at the holidays of the North or if the horseradish gets deeper. So our hinterland, God forbid, appear with a rainbow flag, they will be greeted by the whole village. As for the wrong Peter, the Libera won't wait for gay parades for sure.

    Here it is! —The last countries that they needed to be drawn into in this global operation. Finland still violated the agreement not to deploy and provide airfields to the army and to conduct any exercises with them on Finnish territory. Can Finland be presented in full and ask them on what basis do they do it? Nobody gave them the right to violate contracts! All of us are now completely surrounded. The Finns had to be destroyed back in 44 - this is probably the only thing I can’t understand, why didn’t Stalin do this then? After 2 Finnish companies against the then-young Union.

    Thank you vasdel read here and on other sites amused. And the most interesting thing is that whoever is going to Russia with the war, then some hints from ABOVE are sent to him. Well, for example, from 404, when capturing the throne there, the pig of the bucket received a signal in the form of a falling soldier and the collapse of ukrofashists at DONBASS, now the bear crossed the road to the finals - everyone ran away. Unfortunately, nothing was sent only to the Turks and such similar mongrels, and maybe not yet time?

    To me, this all reminds of early childhood! Summer! We sit late in the evening, under a chosen house, at a "children's" get-together. We see and hear how ancient grandfathers play dominoes a little to the side, under a portable lamp, and grandmothers peel seeds and quietly discuss something, so as not to interfere with the men to fight, and even to express themselves. And we, in turn, mysteriously and in a half-whisper, are trying to tell another "terrible story". From the numbing fear of the soul, every rustle heard somewhere nearby is transformed into the screeching of girls and the sobbing of those who are not yet 7!
    Europe, experiencing children's fears, - have read a wonderful writer, Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol!

    MOSCOW, June 7 - RIA News. In Finland, a brown bear thwarted maneuvers in which three thousand soldiers and officers took part, reports RT citing local media.
    The predator entered the territory of the military unit, where it scared the military. The animal ate lunch prepared for the soldiers, and then tore up unattended items of personnel.
    Having decided that the bear poses a threat to the military, the command of the unit turned to the police for permission to shoot a predator. After receiving the appropriate sanction, the beast was destroyed.
    The soldiers were in danger, hiding in trucks. None of the personnel were injured.

    The State Department marked urgently - Moscow violated the INF Treaty and developed a new high-precision tactical weapon - a short-range bear. Colossal resources in the form of the bear’s father, the mother of the bear, and several years were spent on the development. Tests of a new type of weapon were held in Finland. NATO is forced to respond to the challenge of Russian aggression and increase NATO's budget by 50% of the GDP of all NATO countries.

    Mass media - The exposition of the Almaz-Antey VKO concern at the international exhibition CADEKS-2016, which takes place in Astana from 2 to 5 June, was attended by more than 20 foreign delegations.
    Foreign delegations have shown interest in the new Toptyzhka ground forces support complex and are already withdrawing from contracts with the United States. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that it is planned to create a salvo launcher based on the "Armata" - "Potoptushki" with 16 bears in the launcher. Also, to meet global challenges and new challenges from the US and NATO, an intercontinental bear is planned.
    Yes, Russian sanctions cannot be avoided.
