Daily Mail: Russia MOCKS British war games, saying: ‘Polish-assembled T72s are a poor replacement for the real stuff’
* The exercise, involving Nato, took place on Salisbury Plain at the weekend
* It was intended to simulate President Putin’s forces invading Estonia
* Taking part were troops due to be deployed early next year in the Baltic
* But the Russian Embassy in London said it was 'bizarre and delusionary'
Russia has mocked a British war games exercise at the weekend in which Nato forces posed as invading 'Russian' tanks rumbling across the border into a Baltic state.
The exercise, on Salisbury Plain, involved an army of imaginary Russian tanks and troops advancing onto the territory of a Nato ally in an act of naked aggression by Vladimir Putin’s regime.
Under the North Atlantic Treaty Britain, the US, France and Germany would be obliged to come to their defence, like the Allies were when Poland was invaded by Hitler's forces in 1939.

WNU Editor: OK .... these T-72s are not exactly front-line Russian tanks .... but the Russians should not underestimate these NATO war games .... they are being done to send a political message, not a military one.

"they are being done to send a political message, not a military one."
The only "message" this exercise sends, is that the British Army is a tiny shadow of it's former self.
I cannot argue with that Jay.
They didn't even run a "real exercise", which could have resulted in "lessons learned" from the squad level up,
But instead they ran a "scripted" exercise, they might as well have just held a parade.
