how would you improve their military, Jow Forums?
How would you improve their military, Jow Forums?
Dump the US, rejoin Russia.
In a US aligned war, Baltics are the frontlines against St. Petersburg. So a big target for Russia to nuke.
In a Russia aligned war, they provide no benifit for the US to target. Just a buffer zone. Better to work from Finland down.
1. I said improve their military
2. Rather immolate myself than be russian aligned Tbh
MBTs, SAMs, and maybe a dozen or so F-16Vs/Rafales each.
Give it back to Russia.
oh right, I should mention, Annual budget is 600 million Dollars (Lithuania has 1 billion Dollars)
Unified military with shared R&D and procurements
>pay US 600 million annually to park a carrier off their coast
Voila, 9000% more effective than anything they could do themselves.
Wouldn't that just be Baltic air policing with extra steps?
Yeah pretty much.
Still more effective than what you fucks are capable of doing.
Scenario 1 = no military left.
Scenario 2 = military left.
Immolation is what you'll get.
Joint procurement of 30 or so fighters, around 10 fighters for each air force.
>Dump the US, rejoin Russia.
Willingly join nation made of niggers that are white due some bizarre reason.
Join NATO.
>their military
Apart from the dysfunctional mess that is BALTBAT, there's no shared military between the three.
Not gonna work. The logistics alone would be a nightmare, but don't even get me started on the issue of language. Latvian and Lithuanian are compatible to some degree while Estonian is its own separate thing. How would this military communicate? Have three official languages and force everyone to go trilingual? Combine all three into some weird Esperanto shit? Go full globalist and make English the lingua franca?
>How would this military communicate?
In English. Isn't it mandatory already for NATO soldiers?
Also not like you need to have a large vocabulary or be perfectly fluent for military language
>Isn't it mandatory already for NATO soldiers?
Apart from being able to pronounce the phonetic alphabet, nope.
Ditch the eu and nato and unify military under one banner.
Nordic countries should also do this and make balto-nordic defense union.
There is already some plans to unify uniform for nordic countries and I found some hints to possibility of M05 becoming snow camo for all.
I like this. What would the lingua franca be?
>In English. Isn't it mandatory already for NATO soldiers?
Bruh it's not even mandatory for US/UK soldiers to speak English
Inherently flawed idea. Kiev stayed under Moscow influence. Russia disbanded Ukrainian military years ahead of 2014 aggression. Not to mention the country, once wealthy Soviet Republic, looks like shit compared to other ex combloc states.
English
Swedes and norwegians speak same language and if you lock finnish and estonian in room for couple of days they will develop common language
Or they learn how to insult each other
Sweden or norway probably would become unofficial language of this union
Also citizen of this defense union could join any military in it as long as they live in the country
People from countries with conscription could do their service in land they live in
I also see fire-arms ownership as part of defense so people who serve should all be capable of owning a self-loader afterward, preferably first gun would always be something that uses same mags and cartridge as service rifle
Basically countrywide militia capable of creating resistance movement even if government falls
Never Russia’s to begin with.
In order to save them, they need guerrilla warfare training
>a.k.a turn this shit into The Winter War/The Troubles Part II
Nukes. Nukes to all of them.
They lack the terrain for that.
Gorilla warfare is their only choice. Defense against Russian provocation, infilitration and such shit. They can't do shit to Russia in conventional sense. They wouldn't even act as a speedbump.
That said, I don't really see Russia attacking them.
They're already in NATO you fucking retard.
Recruit them into the Finno-ugric caliphate.
>Memel
>russian
Fuck off, Ivan.
Mandatory service like in Finland perhaps? If there ain't one already that is.
>Swedes and Norwegians speak the same language.
No they don't. I'm Dane and can understand norwegians, but Swedes speak retarded
ATGMs and MANPADs on common distribution for infantry.
Electronic Warfare systems.
Minefields.
As much combat engineering to reduce mobility as you can get.
Training volunteer groups to place IEDs all over should the time come.
Basic idea is to make them as delaying as possible. Avoid big expensive things that one good strike can take away from you. Focus on stuff that'll slow them down more and more, which can't be easily removed in one fell swoop.
Slow them down until the NATO response arrives.
