    What started as an airborne troop snap exercise seems to be growing in size.....

    We've seen hints from sources that Russian 'snap' exercise in/near #Crimea will grow from 12k to 120k troops + civilians (like Kavkaz 2016)

    IF this is in fact correct THEN it should have been registered with OSCE and foreign observers invited to watch...which was not done....and will not be done...

    THIS might in fact explain the extensive US/UK recce flights being currently heavily conducted over Germany and the Baltic....

    This is the airborne troop exercise that triggered this snap exercise....

    RIA: In Crimea, started the paratroopers exercises involving the Black Sea Fleet and videoconferencing

    Lukashenko ups the Russia trolling to dangerous levels by suggesting NATO be allowed to observe Russian and Belarusian training exercises

    NOTE
    Airborne troops + large landing ship drills tomorrow

    2S4 Tulips and 2S7 Pions exercising hitting hardened enemy underground fortifications.
    Now where'd you find such static positions?

    We're 'expecting' a massive Russian snap exercise later this year involving 120-180k between 1st Tank, 20th CAA and 8th CAA east of Ukraine
