BelVPO: Swedish general revealed the cards about the strategic deployment of NATO troops in the region As part of a recent interview with a Swedish publication The head of the Operational Directorate of the Swedish Armed Forces spoke about the goals and objectives of the large-scale exercises. So, Karl Yehan bluntly stated: “as part of the upcoming exercises, the transfer of troops from the west of Norway through Sweden to the eastern borders of Finland will be practiced.“ In addition, we are talking about the approval of a new NATO “defense“ plan for Northern Europe. Moreover, Karl Yehan stated: “The plan will be seriously tested by large-scale NATO exercises.“ Yekhan also pointed out specific geographical areas of Sweden, which will be the focus of special attention. These are the northern, central and southern parts of the country. As part of the defense agreements between the United States and the Scandinavian countries, the Americans are going to maximize the potential of military facilities within the framework of the Nordic Response-24 exercises. Logistics centers, aviation and naval bases in the northern regions will operate 24/7 to receive and support the American military contingent. We emphasize that one of the key tasks set by the Pentagon will be to assess the mobility of its troops in their operational transfer to the borders with Russia. Источник: Victor vicktop55
