Russo-Ukraine War 2016 (April-June)

[OUTLAW 09]

Azor...here is the thing with these snap drills and mobilization drills...watch their speed to alert and move out of their bases....

The US USAEUR/7th Army Commander recently stated it concerned him greatly ......why.....

Snap drills for speed and mobilization drills was what exactly was intensely watched in the GDR up to 1991 as indicators of a possible Soviet invasion down the Fulda Gap and with Berlin literally behind their LOCs we actually were good at it.

When Russia held it's largest ever GDR exercise in about 1986/87 we were counting literally every rail car, every solider and every tank to ascertain their actual strengths being deployed to see if they have reached critical mass needed for an invasion and then we counted them leaving to see if they "accidently" left anyone behind.......

The current snap drills have showed him they can move multiple divisions of well trained troops long distances in really a relatively fast pace...ie attack mode coming straight out of their bases fully fueled and armed heading West...far faster than NATO can decide and then move.

What he is also not saying is that all these exercises over a certain strength required OSCE notification and OSCE observers for transparency....

THAT has not happened in the last three years BUT NATO invited Belarus and Russia to observe their big maneuver in the Baltics....and they came.

In questioning a Polish inland pushboat captain in 1983 when he jumped ship and asked for asylum did we learn why.....at any given time in Germany or the rest of Europe there were constantly Polish inland pushboats and their dumb barges underway and they were never tracked by anyone.

The Polish and Soviet Spetsnaz had unknown to us constantly conducted in deep Poland numerous building of river bridges using the pushboats and their dumb barges and we had never realized that the dumb barges allowed tanks to fully cross over them .......simple and ingenious if you think about it...thus no need for formal Soviet bridging units to be stationed in the GDR....
