In the stream of Russian snap drills that have come to be part of the ”new normal”, news broke today of a more surprising snap exercise, held by Kaitsevägi, the Estonian Defence Forces. In a surprise move, Estonia has launched an unannounced exercise involving the whole standing army made up of two infantry brigades, the aptly named 1. and 2. Jalaväebrigaad (est. infantry brigade). The exercise does not include calling up reservists.

What is truly astonishing is the rapid expansion undertaken by the Estonian Defence Forces as a whole. Before the Russian invasion of Crimea the Estonian army consisted of a single light infantry brigade, featuring wheeled transports in the form of the Patria (Sisu) XA-180EST and XA-188 APC as the only vehicles with any kind of armour protection, and while a nice long-term expansion plan had been drawn up already in 2007, little of this had materialised.
...
However, everything changed with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and a number of planned procurements shifted into high gear. These included the acquisition of surplus CV9035NL infantry fighting vehicles from the Netherlands (also source of the earlier XA-188) and modern Javelin anti-tank missiles, of which especially the former is a key element in the 1. Jalaväebrigaad’s transformation into a (light) mechanised brigade. The years since have also seen the delivery of the first Mistral M3 short-range air defence missiles, which together with the Saab Giraffe radars they are networked to significantly boosts the integral air defence capability of the 1. Brigade.

The numbers have also grown, with the Kaitseliit (volunteer Defence League, roughly corresponding to the National Guard) receiving a record number of applicants in 2015 and crucially the 2. Jalaväebrigaad being activated in 2014.
...
While Tallinn might be worried about their eastern neighbour, they are certainly not going to just lay flat in the hope of not provoking the bear. Instead, they are doing the best they can to plug the holes identified in the capabilities of their armed forces. The fact that certain key capabilities, such as air policing, are provided by NATO, means that they seem to be doing quite well with the limited resources they can muster with 2% of the GDP.

BBC Says Russia's ‘Troll Factory’ Faked a Video Showing a US Soldier Shooting at a Koran

The video seems to show a man dressed as a US soldier firing three shots into a copy of the Koran. It appeared online in September 2015, generating unusual interest in Russia, prompting strong criticism from the country’s Muslim community. According to an investigative report by the BBC’s Russian-language service, the footage was actually staged by St. Petersburg’s infamous “troll factory,” the Agency for Internet Studies.

...

When only three bullets hit the target, the man behind the camera, using highly obscene language and speaking with an accent that does not sound American, says the weapon is inaccurate. The video, which is interspersed with grammatically incorrect captions, concludes with the statement, “This is one more prove that only American weapons are the best ever [sic].”

The BBC also notes that the man wears an Ops-Core FAST Base Jump helmet, instead of a US military helmet. (The helmet, moreover, bears a patch reading, “INFIDEL STRONG.&#8221 The YouTube account that posted the video is registered under the unusual name “Mayaese Johnson,” who on Google Plus claims to be employed at a high school in Moscow.

Elsewhere on Google Plus, the BBC reports, there are roughly another 50 accounts with the first name “Mayaese,” and many of those individuals also say they work at high schools in Moscow. Their Google Plus accounts are blank, created (it seems) to add “likes” to videos on YouTube, the BBC speculates.

...

The first media outlet to draw attention to the video, the BBC says, was a website called People’s News, which is registered at 55 Savushkina Street in St. Petersburg—the same address as the Agency for Internet Studies, Russia’s infamous “troll factory.”

...

The BBC even says it’s found a man who resembles the gunman in the video, having discovered his photograph by searching on Instagram for photos geotagged near 55 Savushkina Street. British journalists say the man, who works as a bartender in St. Petersburg, is friends with a woman who’s known to be employed by the “troll factory.”

He—and everyone else thought to work for the trolls—refused to speak to the BBC.

Veliko in iskreno opravičilo bralcem. Spletna stran geopolitika je, kot ste opazili, izginila s spleta.
To se je zgodilo zaradi nedoumljive geste mojih bivših "sodelavcev". Bila sta dva, ki sta se sicer ves čas skrivala v ozadju.
Zdaj lahko javno povem, kdo sta ti dve osebi, na bralce geopolitike.si pa apeliram, da delite objavo in ju vprašate, čemu takšno destruktivno ravnanje.
To sta bila Polona Frelih, novinarka Dela in njen "tip" Aleksander Sotov, bojda zaposlen na Amnesty International, Slovenija.
Geopolitika je bila zasnovana na soglasju in medsebojnem spoštovanju. Vsa ta obljubljena pravila pa sta omenjena človeka prekršila, poteptala in uničila naše preteklo delo, kjer je bila velika večina vsebin plod mojega avtorskega dela.
Vsem bralcem spletne strani geopolitika.si se zahvaljujem za izjemno pozornost in zvestobo! Obenem napovedujem, da se ne bom predal, ampak se bom še naprej boril in prizadeval za vrnitev domene geopolitika.si in nadaljevanje objav, ki razbijajo enostranski diskurz v slovenskem medijskem prostoru.
