London plans to deploy tanks on NATO’s eastern border

London, Oct 17 (Prensa Latina) The United Kingdom (UK) plans to deploy its Challenger 3 tanks in countries on the eastern border of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), that is, those bordering Russia, the British press informed on Thursday.

Amid the growing global challenges, the UK is demonstrating its unwavering commitment to NATO, and so we reaffirm our support for Estonia, whose government called for its small country to become an Alliance’s military stronghold, local media reports stated.

Russia consistently rejects the widespread media campaign and statements by European politicians about the alleged threat to Europe from Russia and instead stands by its offer to seek a regional security-sharing agreement.

In addition to the said tanks, the British Secretary of State for Defense also plans to send Boxer armored vehicles to Estonia, an eventual destination for four British brigades in case it may be necessary, to support a country with barely 6,000 troopers.

Estonia, along with Latvia and Lithuania, has become the soundboard against the alleged Russian threat in Europe. The three of them, former Soviet republics, have implemented discriminatory legislations against the Russian minorities residing in their territories, local press stated.
