Estonia’s public broadcaster covers a decision first reported in the Financial Times:^1
>The Financial Times reports that NATO will hold the greatest exercise since the Cold War on its eastern flank next year, aimed at practicing countering a Russian attack.
>NATO officials said that the exercise Steadfast Defender will start next spring and involve around 50 ships and 41,000 troops.
>NATO will be relying on real world geographical data to create more realistic scenarios for troops.
>The drill will take place across Germany, Poland and the Baltics in February and March and forms part of a new training strategy that will see the military alliance carry out two big exercises every year, instead of one.
>NATO will also train to counter terrorist threats outside its immediate borders.

Good, I suppose.
Russkie propaganda will be entertaining about this one.I’m guessing a remake of the *Able Archer* scare of ’83.Except with more mutant nazi super soldiers.
Cute how the central front is consistently called ‘the eastern flank’
Is this with the parade or with real danger of getting killed?
