Over 140 pieces of NATO military hardware took part in the parade, including four US armored personnel carriers M1126 Stryker flying stars-and-stripes. Another foreign nation, the Netherlands, provided four Swedish-made Stridsfordon 90 tracked combat vehicles (designated CV9035NL Mk III by the Dutch).Read it all here.
Estonia also showed off its own howitzers, anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons, armored vehicles and other hardware. Over 1,400 troops also marched the streets of Narva.
I've been looking for news of this event on US Army websites to get the context of this.
Reassuring allies while provoking your enemy is a weird cost/benefit equation. What has me scratching my head is that it appears the US is once again being pulled back into Europe after doing our best to get our "allies" to pay for their own defense.
With ISIS, a resurgent Russia and a need to get eye on and focused on the Pacific...something has got to give....its past time for the EU/NATO to get its members to pick up a bigger part of the defense bill, or pay us for doing it.
