Baltops 2025 training: NATO and RF will conduct training in the Baltic Sea, possible provocations - Bild

To extend: NATO countries will begin next week the Navy exercises Baltops in the Baltic Sea. Russia sends its fleet from 20 ships. Baltops has been conducted in early June for over 50 years, Bilded by German tabloid. The Alliance and Russia ships can be dangerous. The Russian military behaves very aggressively, and what is happening in the Baltic Sea always has a risk of growing into a more acute escalation, a senior researcher at the University of Bonn, a German Navy, a Navy Officer Moritz Breik.

The expert does not believe in the probable attack of the Navy of Russia during exercises, but does not exclude provocations. The Russian fleet can block the path of NATO ships, and at this time the planes will fly specifically over them. "It's about checking vigilance. How quickly NATO reacts," he added. The Russian Federation has decided to conduct a dangerous proximity to convey the Kremlin's message about the "weakness and vulnerability" of the Alliance.

The head of the department of strategy and safety at the University of Kil Johannes Peters believes that Moscow will demonstrate power, especially in the Baltic Sea. In addition, it adds Peters, maneuvers are used for intelligence, which is quite a legitimate measure. "In recent years, Russia has been increasingly aggressive. The German fleet is extremely vigilant and does not allow the Russian Federation to intimidate itself," - says Moritz Breik.
