(a month ago)The alliance is urgently building a special command structure for Latvia and Estonia, based on the model of the German-Hellandian Corps.
In the event of war, up to 60 thousand troops can be deployed within hours without the need for long political approval or bureaucratic delays.
It is not about immediate troop delivery, but NATO's planning and command restructuring in Baltic, writes Reuters.
Time is critical in the Baltic region of “Suwałki Gap” is a narrow, narrow corridor between Kaliningrad on the one hand and the Russian Pskov region on the other. In a real crisis, every hour would matter.
According to the “The Wall Street Journal”, European officials and intelligence agencies are seriously considering a scenario under which Russian President Vladimir Putin could deliberately escalate tensions against Baltic states to justify a new wave of mobilization within Russia.
Latvia is already preparing. In the coming weeks, mobile border units equipped with wiretaps and automated defence towers will be established along the border with Russia.
Baltic countries are rapidly turning into one of Europe's most dangerous points. /Periscope.
