NATO sends thousands of troops to Estonia for war games
As part of an effort to shore up defenses on its eastern flank, NATO is conducting large-scale war games in Estonia involving some 6,000 troops from nine alliance nations.
Steadfast Javelin 1, which commenced on Friday and will continue through the week, is based on a fictitious scenario in which Allied forces repel an attack on Estonia, according to NATO.
Participating units include infantry and reconnaissance forces, engineers, fighter jets as well as anti-aircraft teams and a cybersecurity team. The exercise comes during widespread unrest in Ukraine and renewed concerns over a more militarily assertive Russia, which the West has accused of fomenting tensions in the region.

Die Entstaatlichung der Gewalt und deren Übertragung an höhere Mächte (NATO) schreitet voran. “Wer soll uns denn angreifen?” fragt man uns immer wieder. Wie die Liste der beteiligten Länder zeigt, lässt sich diese Frage nicht mit Ländernamen beantworten.
