NATO continues to stubbornly insist on the "probable invasion" of Russian troops in the Baltic States, trying to justify the concentration of forces on the border with the Russian Federation. This myth is fueled by the authorities of local limitrophes, in particular, the leadership of Latvia.

Two years ago, the number of active military personnel in this country was 6,600 people. Currently, there are 7870 contract soldiers in the army, the number of soldiers in Zemessardz [National Guard] has increased from 1,200 soldiers to 10,000, and another 38,000 people are in reserve.

The reason for this increase in military power is obvious. Latvia is one of the countries that Russia has threatened since the beginning of the Ukrainian conflict, and Latvians have taken their defense seriously.

- it is said in the local press.

The army is represented by only one mechanized brigade (without tanks), consisting of 3 infantry battalions, 2 support battalions and one artillery unit armed with 47 M109A5Ö self-propelled guns (also in 2023, 6 HIMARS MLRS were purchased).

This brigade posted online materials showing, according to the local press, "preparations for a possible invasion of two hostile neighbors: Russia (in the east) and Belarus (in the southeast)":

Latvians are preparing to meet them with fire and steel.

As noted in local media, in the 1918-1920 war, "Latvia was able to defeat the Red Army with the support of Estonian and Polish troops.":

Today we have more powerful forces and more allies to counter a Russian invasion, which NATO would consider an act of war.

Footage from the exercise shows the use of 84mm Carl Gustaf M4 anti-tank grenade launchers and M109A5O self-propelled guns.

Today it is the iron fist of the Latvian army in the fight against foreign aggression.

- the command explained confidently.
