While in the North Atlantic alliance they force anti-Russian hysteria and tell how powerful the military bloc is in protecting its allies, frosts threaten to mow the NATO fighters in Estonia, which they, by the way, must protect writes DerStandaard.
According to media reports, in the Baltic country are literally afraid to freeze about three hundred soldiers of the Armed Forces of Belgium, who are in the military contingent of NATO. As the chairman of the ACMP trade union, Roger Ussen, said, the mission in Estonia was planned a year ago, but for some reason the command did not consider it necessary to provide the fighters with winter sets of equipment.
Now, according to Ussen, 270 Belgian soldiers, frozen to the bones, are “protecting” Estonia. “We are afraid that the military will get frostbite,” the union leader commented on the situation, adding that the fighters were given balaclavas made back in the middle of the last century, as well as boot covers that did not even go to winter boots.
Frosts overtook NATO’s military contingent suddenly, and now soldiers are seriously worried that the thermometer may drop to -30 degrees Celsius. Such an alignment will make the formidable NATO “defenders” absolutely helpless.
