For fifteen years, or maybe even twenty, after some, even seemingly minor incidents with aircraft, skirmishes between Russia and NATO, the topic of an open conflict between Moscow and Brussels is being accelerated in the press and especially in social networks. A lot of materials appear about the power of the Armed Forces of both sides, about the economic strength of the Russian Federation and the EU, and so on.
Today, after the recent attack on the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, this topic is again in trend. “Indisputable evidence of the preparation of an attack on Russia” has already appeared. Like concentrating NATO units in Poland or stationing a US light airborne division in Romania.
I was surprised to read that the 101st Airborne Division is the elite of the US Airborne Forces. Strange, but when she was an airborne assault, there was somehow no talk of her elitism. The 101st Airborne Division is truly the most combat-ready unit of the US Army in Europe. 15 thousand personnel (almost 100% deployment).
But, like all airborne forces, including Russian ones, the division is designed to quickly capture a bridgehead and hold it until the main forces approach. At the same time, in this connection there really are units that are trained according to the same methodology as the units of the MTR. It’s the divisions. But the maximum they can do is to temporarily destabilize the situation in our rear, and then they will be eliminated.
