Hello from Norway dear friends and newest members. We are stoked to host the biggest fighter exercise in Europe this year with our Finnish and Swedish brothers and sisters. And to further expand of common ability to defend Fennoscanda as one unit with our allies in arms.
It is not like any of our nations was tempted to invade before - but now we can soon operate as a single unit with a 300,000-strong quick response force, 250 state-of-the-art fighter jets and a pretty strong blue ocean and litoral navy. On top of this - together we can probably look at a combined special forces capability that rivals the entire DEVGRU or the UK SAS. Plus the average Scandi conscript smiles at the thought of winter coming. Not because we love to freeze that much - but because we know that anyone else will hate that an order of magnitude more than us.
Thank you Putin for your brilliant vision (sarc.). Your orcs will never again go camping to your west ever again.
