Europe is poorly prepared for a possible full-scale military conflict, which has demonstrated the recent joint teachings of Russia and Belarus “West-2021”. It is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten.
As the author of the article, Pen Nühcholm, is saying, during military aggression by Russia, Denmark and Poland will be in the risk area. The Potential Interest of Russia can serve as a Suvalki corridor, passing along the border between Poland and Lithuania, which can combine the territory of Belarus with the Kaliningrad region. According to calculations, if Poland attacks, Denmark will not be able to hold out more than five days.
Moscow specializes in infantry and tank troops, which, according to Nühcholm, gives her an advantage in the open area of the Svalki corridor. In addition, Russian missiles are able to fly to Copenhagen for half an hour, and the Danish Island Bornholm is in 10 minutes. The author of the article frightens the fact that the potential threat from Russia does not cause serious concern from other NATO countries.
Belarusian-Russian strategic maneuvers “West-2021” were held from 10 to 16 September. The task of exercises was to check the readiness of the two countries to joint actions to protect the safety and territorial integrity of the Union State.
