Plaanib oleks õige. Huvitav kas see summa tuleb lisaks juba olemasolevatele kulutustele Itaalias jms kus neil on väed sees.

Põhimõtteliselt pakuks selle välja, et NATO(enamuses USA)üksused tulevad igasse Ida-Euroopa riiki, kes soovi avaldab. Seda siis ka tehnikaga, mitte ainult kergjalavägi, mida praegune USA dessantkompanii endast kujutab. Sellest võitjad on kõige suuremal määral meie lõunanaabrid, kes saavad selle najal enda kaitsekulutustega venitada. Samas peavad nad kinni maksma hakkama teatud kulusid, mida tundub ka meie kaitseministri jutust tulema meile maksta. Kuidas lõunanaabrite eelarved need vastu peavad on küsimus. Selle arvelt võiks raskemat tehnikat USA käest välja rääkida küll. Näiteks suurtükiväge-155mm kahurite näol...M777 või siis Paladin M109A6 oleks vist liiga palju soovitud. Praegu muidugi võimalust küsida ja ehk kõik soovid ei langekski kurtidele kõrvadele. Keskmaa raketisüsteemid ja MRLS oleks vist liigne luksus küsida... .

On Jun. 4, two U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortress strategic bombers from Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, and one from Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, B-52 (currently operating from Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota) landed at Royal Air Force Fairford, England, for a short deployment.

The aircraft relocated to Europe to conduct training activity “in the U.S. European Command area of operations, providing opportunities for aircrews to sharpen skills in several key operational sets and become familiar with airbases and operations in the region.”

Although the official release does not mention it, a patch produced for the deployment suggests that the B-52s were deployed to take part in the Baltops and Saber Strike 2014 exercises.

Whereas Baltic Operations (BALTOPS) 2014 is an annual multinational maritime exercise held in the Baltics with assets from 13 participating nations involved in training scenarios that include air, surface, subsurface and mine warfare, Saber Strike is a U.S. Army Europe-led security cooperation exercise which, focuses, on the three Baltic States: Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

Why is it Significant?

Whilst NATO has sent paratroops for cooperative training with Eastern European member states, neither the US, nor the large West-European nations have the resources or the will to deploy heavy ground forces to Eastern Europe in sufficient quantity to provide a militarily significant deterrent force to Russian adventurism in the region. Current ground force deployments are essentially symbolic reminders of the Article 5 ‘tripwire’ that Mr Putin is careful not to cross directly. By contrast, advanced air assets such as F-15C, Typhoon and Rafale can deploy quickly and relatively cheaply whilst providing a genuinely credible military counterbalance to Russian air forces in the region.

If Mr Putin decided to invade Eastern Ukraine, Transnistria, or hypothetically even a NATO member, a handful of air superiority fighters could not stop him. However, deterring Russian Air Force incursions into the sovereign airspace of Eastern European allies is important for regional stability. The Ukrainian Air Force proved unable to prevent Russian jets and helicopters from operating over Crimea which contributed to its visible weakness in the East. Airspace incursions are a powerful intimidation tool which has historically been used by Russia against its neighbours. Having air assets which can credibly intercept and hold at risk the most advanced Russian warplanes is therefore a strong defensive tool which NATO can and has deployed to reassure its Eastern members and allies.

Some kirjutas:"Eile õhtul ühines Slovakkia peaminister Robert Fico juba varem välja käidud Tšehhi vabariigi seisukohaga, et NATO kohaoleku suurendamine Ida-Euroopas pole soovitav."

Selgitades oma täielikku vastuseisu aga NATO liitlaste alalistele baasidele tõmbas Fico paralleeli Nõukogude Liiduga ja Tšehhoslovakkia invasiooniga 1968. aastal.

„Slovakkial on oma ajaloolised kogemused võõrvägede osalemisest. Mäletagem 1968. aasta invasiooni. Seetõttu on see teema meie jaoks väga tundlik.“
