EUA já provoca Rússia, bota 100 blindados a 300 m da fronteira russa, 100km de São Petersburg.
Latvia has confirmed more than 120 armored units, including tanks, have been delivered by the US. According to the Latvian Ministry of Defense, these include M1A2 Abrams tanks and M2A3 Bradley armored vehicles.
The move to deploy yet more tanks and armored vehicles was welcomed by Latvian Minister of Defense Raymond Vejonis."The presence of our allies (US and NATO) in Latvia is a confirmation of solidarity and security in the region," Vejonis said in a statement on Twitter.
A 1997 Russia-NATO agreement forbids NATO from having troops permanently stationed in the Baltic States, so the deployment remains a temporary mission. The US is keen to expand the operation from the Baltic to the Black Sea. “So by the end of the summer, you could very well see an operation that stretches from the Baltics all the way down to the Black Sea,” said Colonel Michael Foster, of the US 173rd Airborne Brigade. Russian Deputy defence Minister Anatoly Antonov says Allied forces are ignoring diplomacy and NATO is using the situation in Ukraine to push closer to Russia’s border. However, he dismissed drills being carried out in the Baltic States, Poland and the Black Sea were a threat to Russia. “Instead of uniting forces to fight evil, the worst of which is terrorism, Western nations are drawing new divisive lines, trying to realize containment schemes against unwelcome states. Today, Russia has been chosen as the target,” Antonov said on March 5. He cited another example of a NATO military parade on February 24, held just 300 meters from the Russian border, in the Estonian town of Narva.
About 140 pieces of armour and 10 times as many troops, including US soldiers, took part in that event. Moscow saw it as a stab in its direction. A freight train carrying a column of American armoured vehicles was caught on camera in Latvia in December. Dalbe Railway Station, where the train was reportedly spotted, is less than 300 kilometers from the Russian border. The train was carrying at least 38 vehicles and several semitrailers, including eight Bradley Fighting Vehicles, nine M113 Armoured Personnel Carriers, four petrol tankers, Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Trucks, High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles, an M88 Hercules Armoury recovery vehicle, a couple of trucks, some tactical engineering and medical vehicles, at least four containers and a pair of railcars with ammunition.
