The German Air Force is setting up a Deployable Control and Reporting Centre (DCRC) at Šiauliai Air Base, Lithuania, supplemented by additional sub-elements at Skede, Latvia and Ämari, Estonia. German soldiers are preparing to augment the static CRCs at Karmėlava, Lielvarde (Latvia) and Tallinn (Estonia) and support situational awareness for the airspace in the Baltic region. Subdivisions of the DCRC are also deployed in Skede (Latvia) and Amari (Estonia).
The German Air Force Control and Reporting Centre are closely connected with the other Baltic CRCs and NATO’s Combined Air Operations Centre at Uedem, Germany, to help control NATO’s Baltic Air Policing mission and demonstrate interoperability.
Germany is Lithuania’s principal ally and a cornerstone guarantee of security and stability in Europe. The Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Lithuania and the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany concerning Temporary Stays of Members of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Lithuania and the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Germany in the Territory of the Other State was written in the summer of 2020.
Germany is also an active participant of the NATO Air Policing Mission in the Baltic States and delegates officers to the NATO Force Integration Unit in Vilnius.
Germany is the framework nation of the NATO enhanced Forward Presence Battalion Battle Group deployed for deterrence and defence purposes in Rukla since early 2017, and has the largest portion of troops there. A Mechanised Infantry Brigade of the Lithuanian Armed Forces was affiliated to a German Bundeswehr Division in 2018.
Generally, the Baltic States are now on the front line of the increasing tension between NATO and the Russian Federation. In order to lure the NATO and American militaries into their territory, the Baltic governments compete in propaganda, day and night broadcasting message about the “hand of Moscow” that allegedly threatens them.
Further positioning of NATO forces in the Baltic region could spark inadvertent escalation. NATO’s joint forces and its subsequent efforts to keep the Baltics by massive force deployment would irritate Moscow.
Russia might escalate the situation and even could use nuclear weapons. In addition, Ambiguous Nuclear Doctrines in NATO’s and Russia’s nuclear policies create the potential for deliberate escalation.
Thus, a potential conflict between NATO and Russia could provoke not only the use of conventional weapons, but also nuclear weapons.

Mr Putin has told the fascist “international community”:
“We will not fight another war on Russia’s soil”
Unfortunately the people in the EU do not understand what that statement infers.
In other words, one incursion into RF territory, will mean an immediate response.
Moreover NATO can say “sionara” to all bases east of the river Rhine.
The whole affair according to STRATFOR will take less than 60 hours.
We notice on this map that Vienna in Austria appears to have foregone its “neutral” military stance.

Of course the events in the Ukraine since 2014 have been conducted with the NAZI ethic.
All of these events were recorded.
All Austrians and Germans who were aware of these events are subject to this legislation:
The Ukraine has 6 million displaced citizens, over 13 000 deaths and countless injuries to her citizens.
Now the USA will not sign the UN accord to ban the NAZI ethic.
NATO will never risk a head-on confrontation. They’ll just continue nipping at Russia’s heels with more Navalny-style provocations and color pallet lessons for its neighbors.
The Germans seem to have a natural affinity for Lithuania. I expect at some point there’ll be a battle over what the new official language will be, Polish or German. Baltic languages are a natural target for both. Who can forget how efficiently Germany obliterated the third Baltic tongue of Prussia. Gone in a week. I’ll put my money on Germany.
The first German words the occupied Lithuanians will learn: “Sieg Heil, Herr Obersturmbannführer!”
I think a good many of them already have. Part of their cultural heritage.
The Nazi Wehrmacht occupied Lithuania in 1941. The newborn Nazis are occupying Lithuania again, in 1920. Nothing new under the sun.
“The German Air Force” is a joke.
The last news i heard was that they could not do any night flights because the fighter nav systems are kaput.
DE is in Lithuania in the same capacity as the Luftwaffe and Wehrmacht were in 1941. -occupiers.
The NAZI KRAUTS were bashed by the Soviets in Lithuania, in 1945, the GERMAN PRESENT DAY KRAUTS will be bashed again by the Russians in Lithuania, soon, if they dare to attack. The Krauts are toothless wannabe tigers.
