On the eastern border
Baltics, Poland, Finland, Norway agree on ‘drone wall’ to protect borders
Regional countries have agreed to create a “drone wall” to protect their external borders using unmanned aerial vehicles, Lithuanian Interior Minister Agnė Bilotaitė has said. She made the remarks after a meeting on Friday in Latvia with her counterparts from the other two Baltic states, Poland, Finland, and Norway. “This is a completely new thing – a drone wall stretching from Norway to Poland – and the goal is to use drones and other technologies to protect our borders [...] against provocations from unfriendly countries and to prevent smuggling,” Bilotaitė told BNS.

Reuters doesn't mention, but he stated that there wont be permanent troops presence in Finland. Rather equipment is stored and if needed troops are brought in.
Asked about Russian reaction he answered "They can think whatever they want."

It'll be interesting to see NATO's future ORBAT. Because right now, the alliance is still in peacekeeping operations mode with no coherent hierarchy and a bunch of corps-level commands without troops at their disposal. We need to return to a pre-1990 kind of organisation where specifically designated formations (both national and from abroad) are given sectors to hold or reinforce in the event of war with Russia.
I'm thinking of something like this organisation of Central Region, for example:

After the withdrawal of Romanian president Iohannis, Dutch PM Mark Rutte faces no other opposition to becoming the new secretary general of NATO.
"Lyin' " Mark Rutte, the man who destroyed the Dutch armed forces and only through an accounting trick (including aid to Ukraine) increased the budget to 2% of GDP only this year to help him get the job.
A man who lies whenever he opens his mouth. His modus operandi is lying, cheating, deceiving and having others assume responsibility for it to protect Teflon Mark. Who voices a different opinion depending on who he's talking to. A snake of a man.
A day-to-day survivor who coined the phrases "Vision is something you should see an optometrist for" and "Vision is like an elephant that blocks your sight". If you want someone to build a stronger alliance he's not it.

In addition to the long-range bombers, two KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft and one KC-46 aerial refuelling plane also entered Finnish airspace.

Great news! Norway and Sweden plan to place troops to Lapland in Finland.
Sweden plans to station its soldiers in Finnish Lapland
The chairman of the Swedish Defense Committee, Peter Hultqvist, says that a joint NATO force of Sweden, Norway and Finland is being formed in northern Finland.
The chairman of the defense committee of the Swedish Parliament, Peter Hultqvist (sd), tells Iltalehti that the Swedish Defense Forces is preparing to deploy Swedish soldiers in Finnish Lapland.
- I know that the Swedish Defense Forces and the government are preparing to deploy troops to Finland. It would happen as part of NATO cooperation, Hultqvist tells Iltalehte in Luumäki.
For his position, Hultqvist is aware of the intention to deploy Swedish soldiers on Finnish soil.
- The way I see it is that now a force is being formed in Northern Finland, which will include soldiers from different countries. Sweden naturally participates in such an operation, Hultqvist emphasizes.
Hultqvist says that the group to be formed would also include Norwegian soldiers.
As chairman of the defense committee, Hultqvist is aware of the project and its historical background. According to him, the establishment of a joint force was already discussed before Finland and Sweden joined NATO.

Germany and the UK have signed a treaty called Trinity House Agreement on improving bilateral defence cooperation in numerous ways, including procurement and joint logistical support for their troops in Lithuania and Estonia. Most noteworthy from a British perspective is perhaps that following their entry into service, German P-8As will be deployed to RAF Lossiemouth. (Link in German)

Only took you 84 years
From the Wall of Oak to bringing in the Luftwaffe to cover for you so that the defense budget can be decreased even further. How the mighty have fallen.

And that's the only thing the politicians are interested in; winning awards rather than wars because the former look better on your resume than the latter

Makes much more sense basing them there than behind north sea holiday beaches and islands IMHO.
The Orc ports lie in the North Atlantic and the Baltic sea can be monitored by much smaller MPAs not to mention it's only 50 m deep on average deepest point is the Landsort deep in front of Gotland/Sweden with 459m.
Another deep is in front of Gotland thats where the Soviet subs liked to lure.

Kriegsmarine, not the luftwaffe. Get it right!
Europe’s missile renaissance
Russia’s use of ground-launched ballistic and cruise missiles against Ukraine has prompted a renaissance among some European countries to reacquire analogous capabilities. But political, technical and budgetary challenges need to be overcome for this aspiration to be viable.

Piss off you f*cking POS. Government finances are a dumpster fire and large parts of the state are completely broken because of 14 years of this fraudster's rule. And now everyone else needs to start paying for this dipsh*t's criminal neglect of the state.
Loads of people were incorrectly prosecuted for tax fraud by this douchebag for 10 years, even having their children taken away from them. Just last week two children were returned to their parents who were taken when they were two and four years old. They're ten and twelve years old now. He did the same kind of stuff that russia has.
Send his ass to the frontline first, he doesn't have a wife or children to leave behind anyway. One of many childless European politicians talking about the future like their genes have any to begin with.
