@1:13 Someone hasn't yet learnt how to apply paint as the 'olive-drab' is already peeling off the 'desert tan' presumably after brushing against some branches?

Lithuania Estonia and Latvia need to create a unified military force that serves all three countries, by combining resources they can field a more effective and dynamic fighting force. This will allow for them to streamline purchases by focusing on what they need as a whole rather than what each country need separately from armored vehicles to investing in better maritime/naval assets( invest in lpd's lph's/lhd's [ The retiring San Giorgio of Italy for example] and small strike carriers that will be able to carry 20-30 aircraft whether for Assault support of amphibious operations or as a dedicated strike platform launching sories for CAS and deep strike missions [the re retiring Garibaldi is an example] aviation assets (a joint Navay/Air Force procurement for fighters and attack planes especially in Tactical Transport operations for Airborne and Air Assault Forces. In today's environment a force of that nature building up from the combined contributions of three nations as opposed to one is essential for smaller Sovereign States,creating a professional balanced (quality and quantity) Armed Service.
Note the difference between these videos of NATO forces on maneuvers and those of the Russian "maneuvers". No masses of tanks charging in line, rocket launchers blowing up the countryside or low flying airplanes popping flares, but rather small groups of infantry and vehicles manuevering in woods, etc. Which is more realistic?
