A radio station in Poland has reassured its citizens that the increased sightings of United States-built armor moving to the center of their country was not due to “any current events.”
Knewz.com has learned that the operation follows on the heels of a recent announcement by the Russian military authority, indicating that it planned to launch a mega naval operation in the Northern Pacific Ocean.
The military equipment being moved is said to comprise 87 Abrams tanks, over 150 infantry fighting vehicles including Bradleys, along with 18 self-propelled gun-howitzers.
According to the Polish outlet, the war machinery started their cross-country trek at a military storage depot in Mannheim, Germany, and will end their journey at a base in Powidz near Poland’s geographical center.
Said storage facility is located next to a military airfield, which according to observations by some sources, will allow for the armor to be rapidly redeployed should the need arise.
The local authority has since weighed in on the activity saying: “The movement of convoys between the American military and Polish regional authorities in this area is coordinated by the Polish Center for Coordination of Military Movements.”
The operation is expected to continue until the end of September 2024, and despite reassurances that the transfer has nothing to do with current international events, the appearance of these vehicles follows a pledge by NATO to strengthen the Russian-facing borders of its far-eastern member states.
The pledge was triggered by the start of Vladimir Putin’s so-called Special Military Operation in Ukraine.
Notably, the news of American armor creeping across Europe towards Russia comes just over a day after the latter announced its plans to launch a 300-ship naval exercise in the northern waters of the Pacific Ocean.
“Units and formations of the Russian Navy have begun conducting planned exercises in the operational zones of the Northern, Pacific, and Baltic Fleets, as well as in the area of responsibility of the Caspian Flotilla,” the Russian defense ministry announced.
“The main purpose of the exercises is to check the actions of the military authorities of the navy at all levels, as well as the readiness of the crews of ships, units of naval aviation, and coastal troops of the Russian navy to perform tasks.”
Knewz.com reported recently that anti-submarine and aircraft weaponry, along with ship-based artillery, was expected to be deployed in the exercise.
The announcement followed a diminished Navy Day parade in St. Petersburg and an ongoing outcry from Putin’s henchmen at the U.S., about its plans to plant long-range missiles in Germany.
Putin touched on the latter during an address, saying that the “flight time to targets on our territory of such missiles, which in the future may be equipped with nuclear warheads, will be about 10 minutes.”
“We will take mirror measures to deploy, taking into account the actions of the United States, its satellites in Europe, and other regions of the world.”
