Enigmeless missile about grim: harmless air weapon training exposes!
Grimmen, Deutschland - A Facebook post at the weekend caused a lot of excitement: “reddish missiles” were spotted in the sky about Grimmen. Many users from the region reported on their observations, and rumors quickly dealt with rockets and marching missiles. But now there is an all -clear: The tactical air force squadron 73 in Rostock has made a clear position and would like to calm down. One knew when a rocket fly over Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and they would not have sighted them. In addition, a theory of a NATO maneuver in the Baltic Sea was rejected so that the concerned citizens can breathe a sigh of relief
The Bundeswehr made it clear that there is no sharp ammunition in the event of current exercises. The aviation office announced that the airplanes so often viewed from the Swiss Air Force come-specifically, the Pilatus PC-21, which can reach speeds of up to 685 km/h and fly heights of 7620 meters. The high speed of the aircraft probably explained the misunderstandings, because from a distance they were incorrectly considered rockets. Experts emphasized that there are no rocket activities in the region.
NATO maneuver Baltops in front of Rostock
The annual NATO-Marine maneuver Baltops in the Baltic Sea, which will be coordinated from Rostock this year, takes place in parallel to these horror reports. Around 50 ships, 25 aircraft and 9,000 soldiers from 17 nations take part in the exercises, which primarily aim to improve the shared skills in maritime operations. This includes submarine defense, mining and air defense. Vice -Miral Jeffrey T. Anderson described Baltops as a "keystone" for transatlantic security. The exercise, which lasts until June 20, leads to restrictions in civil shipping traffic, and the navy asks leisure captains, sailors, anglers and paddlers to keep away from the warships.frigate captain S. observes a Russian ship, the "Vasiliy Tatishchev", which follows NATO exercises from about three nautical miles away. These observations are done against the background of increased tensions with Russia, which makes the exercises all the more important. Special safety precautions apply on board the German frigate "Bavaria": cell phones are prohibited on deck to prevent a location of the ship.
participation of the German Navy
The German Marine is involved in the Baltops exercises with several ships, including the corvettes "Braunschweig" and "Magdeburg", the frigate "Bavaria" and various support ships. The "Bavarian" specializes in the fight against submarines and has already successfully carried out shooting exercises against target drones. This is done in the context of a comprehensive upgrade program and increasing defense spending. With this, NATO wants to strengthen its presence and show a clear deterrent to potential threats.
While the military exercises are in progress, the left in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is critical of the militarization of the region and describes the exercises as "saber rattling". Despite the different perspectives on NATO activities, the big challenge for Rostock remains the logistical coping of the increased ship and troop traffic in the region.
Overall, the situation is an exciting interplay of military exercises and unsettled citizens. While the security -relevant aspects are in focus, it remains essential that the population is well informed - and best without alarmism.
