Türkei gegen den Rest (Mittelmeer)

[Quintus Fabius]

Ein interessanter Aspekt der zunehmenden Spannung mit dem Neo-Osmanen-Sultanat ist, dass ausgerechnet die Türken jetzt 2021 die NATO Bereitschafts-Kräfte (Very High Readiness Joint Task Force) führen werden:

Turkey takes over from Poland, which provided the core of the force in 2020. Built around Turkey’s 66th Mechanised Infantry Brigade of around 4,200 troops, a total of around 6,400 soldiers will serve on the VJTF. Units from Albania, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, the UK, and the United States will also serve on the force, which is part of the Alliance’s larger NATO Response Force. Turkey has made substantial investments into the unit – amongst the most mobile in NATO - particularly in its logistics and ammunition requirements planning. The latest models of Turkish armed vehicles, anti-tank missiles and howitzers have been allocated to the force.
