Can everyone see the pictures ok? Some of them have had trouble loading.

If you're having issues with them let me know, I'll upload fewer pictures in each post to help with web browser memory issues that'd cause the pictures not to load.

what does Latvia has to do with Nordic defence ? isn't that a Baltic Slavic state ?

I mean if the Russians are going to invade they're gonna go straight for the scandenavian democracies , not the Baltic states ?!

A lot. Considering Norwegian troops are deployed in Lithuania as part of the Lithuanian Multinational Battalion, a NATO Enhanced Forward Presence initiative, and frequent Latvia for exercises such as Saber Strike 17.

Additional assets were deployed to Lithuania last month and a rotation in deployed forces was also undertaken.

The picture of Iron Wolf 2017 on the previous page show a bit of what Norway has deployed to Lithuania.



The Baltics are a far softer target then the three Scandinavian countries. Russia can't breach Norway overland, and an aerial assault or naval landing isn't a hot prospect either.

To attack Sweden requires movement through the Baltic or going through Finland or Northern Norway, again, not really too easy given the terrain and harassment from NATO in the Baltic.

Denmark, either come across from the Baltics or traverse the Baltic Sea. Not a cake walk either.

if you say so , I thought the Baltic states were already russified and not much of an interest to Russia , anyhow my point of view was not militaristic and merely cultural .

what 's an iron wolf ? is it like the german Gepard ? or is it a snow plower like you posted ?

the only thing I remember about Nordic country is their pretty faces , I flew to Canada with KLM and I remember this dutch woman who was a flight attendant and she was really nice , I talked to her a bit and I translated for her and I really enjoyed it .. that was from Tehran to Amsterdam , from Amsterdam to Canada there was a similar woman in height and stature but she was mean .. not so nice ... anyhow I would fly with KLM again if I had the chance , although lots have changed since then ..


btw if you're really from Norway what keeps you up so late in the night ? is it the fjor lights ?
