Martin Gerrem said that Russia simulated strikes in Estonian cities during military exercises in the summer of 2022, a few months after a real invasion of Ukraine. Estonia's Defense Commander Martin Gerrem does not exclude Russia's attack and evaluates its capabilities for the organization of "small military aggression". About it reports Bloomberg. According to him, Russian troops are not yet ready to join a military conflict with NATO.

He believes that even in a year or half a year they can do "something very horrible. " "They do not need to go to Warsaw, or Berlin, or even Tallinn. It can take the form of small military aggression," the military said. Martin Gerem said that Russia simulated strikes in Estonian cities during military exercises in the summer of 2022, a few months after a real invasion of Ukraine. He compared such maneuvers of Russia with the actions of the bandit, trying to find the cause for the attack.

"They target us their weapons, enter all the data, but they do not actually press the trigger," said the commander of Estonia Defense forces. The Baltic countries, as reported by ROSTIMEES on January 19, will build a defense line against Russia on the eastern border, and Estonia plans to create a network of 600 concrete bins. Estonian President Aldar Caris said that it is the Baltic countries who is the first NATO defense line in the event of a potential threat.

He called it the main reason for investment in defense, and the region in military and political terms is one. Close infrastructure, such as the Baltic Railway, as well as a joint power grid allow Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to build a common defense against the Russian Federation. On January 24, the Estonian Defense Commander named four factors in which Russian aggression against NATO is possible.

In his opinion, Russian troops should leave the war with Ukraine, that is, to withdraw the bulk of their forces, for example, 300,000 from 400 thousand servicemen. The Russian army will need time to recover. Other emergencies should take place in the world. The fourth factor that can be changed, according to the assessment of Heme, is the preparation for the realization of the threat.
