For all the non Lithuanians here, who supports us, thank you!
I’m American and have an amazing Lithuanian friend,I look forward to visiting!Stay strong!🇱🇹🤝🇺🇸
I'm American and you are welcome. I grew up in New York not far from the towers that were knocked down on 9/11 and still remember NATO invoking article 5.
One for all and all for one❤🇳🇴
Together strong against the invaders. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Ofc! There are few countries id be as enthusiastic as to support. The Baltics always take the lead when it comes to international conflicts, like the ruSSian invasion of Ukraine, the Baltics lead by example when it comes to support❤️
Thank you
You've made my heart much lighter
I was born and raised in Lithuania, in lithuanian family, so Lithuania matters to me
Thanks
When I was in Lithuania in summer, I saw a couple german soldiers grocery shopping in a Maxima in Pabrade. It was quite interesting to see people in such "serious" jobs carrying around bread!
We germans love bread!
To quote Napoleon: "An army marches on its stomach" 😁. The boys and girls just have to eat well 😇
"Even Rambo needs food" old klingon proverb
6:31 "...just 6 Luxemburg soldiers". That's like the 10% of the whole Luxemburg population :D
Luxembourgs population- 640064! (2021) 10%- 64000!
@@alfonsas777 Someone has not understood that it's just a joke ;)
Lets say, its 10% of the Luxembourg army...almost...its 900 personell big.
What you don’t know is Luxembourg 🇱🇺 has paid for a400m and a330 mrtt and are taking a larger piece of the work they are small but efficient although not a fighting force with experience they will be a valuable asset in the coming years with Belgium and France
@@alfonsas777bro there's like 8 people on the PLANET!

Let’s hope that all of the time, money and effort that is invested into all of this is never used 🙏
Belgium 🤝 Lithuania
We ( Belgium ) also have our DF 90 and DF30 there :)
Love Lithuania 🇱🇹 from the USA 🇺🇸 ❤
I love all the Baltic countries. You guys know the true price of freedom.. something a lot of my own countrymen have forgotten.
"Tauta" is an interesting word we share with Latvians. Oddly enough it is a cognate to the word "Tuetonic". The initial Latin form was "theodiscus" which comes from Old Germanic "þiudiskaz" which is almost identical to modern Lithuanian "tautiškas" (of the people). Here Germanic "þeudō" means "people" and suffix -iskaz = -iškas (of, from). Such suffixes (albeit without old Indo-European masculine ending) are also preserved in modern Scandinavian and in even more reduced form - in Slavic languages.
It's definitely an interesting word. For me it has always been associated with ethnicity as such, but Lithuanian constitution defines "tauta" as first and foremost political/civic concept that is more in line with the view of citizen's belonging to national idea. So it can mean both ethnic or political nation depending on the context.
I wonder if not for Soviet occupation how would another Lithuanian word, peoples/nation - "liaudis" (which acquired mostly negative associations) would be used. So far in non communist fields I only see it in reference to folk culture or folk traditions.
@@eruno_ Yes, in moden times it got the meaning of nation.
@@eruno_ 😁 Yes it definitelly got some stigma and a negative conotation due to Soviets instaling at as the replacement of "tauta". Yet "liaudis" is also an old Indo- European word. German "leute", Greek "eleutheros" and Slavic "liudi", "ludzie", lidé "ljudi" etc. - are of the same root.
Very cool. Ancient links made relevant again. 👍
Good stuff. My Grandma was Lithuanian, my Grandpa was Polish. The Baltics will be where Putin turns next. He doubts NATO’s resolve to support such small members. But Putin’s missteps in Ukraine have resulted in Finland and Sweden greatly strengthening NATO’s Northern flank. Many thanks to the Finns and the Swedes. Welcome.
Nice video, I like how you make videos on Lithuania military! Also first :D
Good info
I enjoyed the video. It’s timely information that helps me understand the situation in the Baltic region a bit better.
Puck Futin 👍👍
Thank you. God protect you.
I know that Portuguese Marines (Naval Fuzileers) have been deployed regularly in Lithuania. I don't know exactly what are their functions over there. For what I could gather they tend to be from elite groups, Combat Divers and the Special Actions Detachment.
Should be in very small numbers though.
I am guessing port defence and stationed at naval bases for possible mine clearance and coastal surveillance.
I met them, cook beards, but in need for some culture education
Belgian ISTAR has started receiving JLTV OSKOSH . Along with every platoon there is a drone reconaissance section. Later the main part of vehicles will be the Griffon (same as French actual receiived vehicles) and the Jaguar
there are americans with abrams tanks and bradlays in pabrade. thats for sure. There was also a public display of them during an "army" day in Svencionys 2 years ago.
if you're really interested into something it's always good idea to write a letter. I remember once writing to NATO inquiry mailbox and they were glad to answer. (as long as it isn't classified that is).
Great idea, thanks!
interesting channel, carry on please.
For the netherlands the 43 Gemechaniseerde Brigade is currently on station. The unit before this one was the ‘Cobra' compagnie of the 44 Pantserinfanterie bataljon.
Current Czech deployment is one battery of SPGH Danas from 131. Artillery section, 13. Artillery regiment and those TITUS IMVs are actually MKPPs - Artillery command vehicles
Thanks!🙏
Perun just made a video about the military in the Baltics, maybe it's something for you.
Germany together with the Lithuanian authorities is currently setting up 1 permanent Panzer Brigade in Lithuania. 4000 soldiers plus families means 5000 persons will live there with schools and infrastructure etc.
The international eFP will be integrated into the new barracks.
You'll find plenty of videos

That is a really big deal
We Italians have multiple times sent troops in the Baltic republics.
One of my friends was sent there for six months. He's a Bersagliere.

Great video.
Lithuania... the Western world highly prizes your freedom, efforts and support
You have an ugly neighbor... great to have you in NATO
I bet the [erson from Iceland is an expert at IT. This could potentialyy be very handy to the battlegroup at large. Depending on how they employ him.
Proud that NATO can establish a battle group with 6 countries, all working together to protect OUR Europe! Offcourse, the Dutch are the best. But hey, I has nothing to do with me being Dutch haha!
"Pfreimd" was actually pretty close :D
I found something that stated; Iceland supplies one civilian cross trained communication and Public affairs civilian specialist, liaison officer and from 2017 to 2019 Iceland depployed a Coast guard officer for explosive ordnance disposal. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_Enhanced_Forward_Presence#Multinational_Battalion_Battle_Group_Lithuania
Sweden is setting up a reduced battalion of 600 to send to Lithuania
Sweden will contribute to Lithuania’s air policing
portugal is also going!!
Iceland? 🤔 They don't even have an army!
suspend treaty on conventional armed forces in europe like poland
Americans are here as well with their Abrahms, I saw them in 25th November 2023
Iceland? Iceland doesn't have a military it has a coastguard and certain specialist police.
how about just watch the video he explained it
Russia thanks you, Lithuania Explained, for providing this valuable information free.
people have lost their minds. everyone knows what war is
I mean, having both Luxemburg and Iceland providing troops must make Lithutania feel very safe. Its a bit much really.
We appreciate every contribution.
It’s called “ putting skin in the game”.
🇺🇸🇩🇪🫡
No mention of the US troops from Ft Stewart, Georgia in the US who have been deployed at Pabrade training area since September 2023 and will be replaced around June 2024 by another unit. 1st Battalion of the 9th Field Artillery Regiment and 3rd Battalion of the 67th Armored Regiment both from the 3rd Infantry Division, "Rock of the Marne".
Europe need qwickly reinforced borders cuz you never now how Russia and Belarus will act in future...🍃🌱☘🍀🌿🍂🌼🍁🌺🦋🐋🦕🇭🇷🇪🇺🌍❤🍇🍌🍓🥦🌽🌲
Best do not publish research that can be culled by Russian allied intelligence.
NATO: Russia is acting aggresivly
Also NATO just few kilomaters from Russian border:
If only Russia would respect international borders, then NATO wouldn't be needed. Just ask Ukrainians and Georgians how they are doing being outside NATO and a neighbour of Russia..
@@wandeling127 ironically NATO and USA are those who didn't respect international borders for past 60+ years, and nobody sad anything about that
@@wandeling127 ironically USA and NATO are those who didn't respect international borders for past 60+ years, ask Serbia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Vietnam, Cuba, Korea and many other how is it when you are not even close to USA and they still brutally bomb you and comite war crimes and genocides for no reason
None of this makes no difference . Without huge manufacturing base for weapons and ammunition nato cannot sustain high intensity war for more than a few weeks . Russia no such problems
We already are doing it for two years! So stop spewing your nonsense!
@@HedgehogZone This is not high intensity war . America and Russia would be high intensity . Doing what for two years ….? Lose
America has a small manufacturing base nowhere near big enough to supply weapons and ammunition to the front lines for a long period
Also no way of getting men and equipment across the Atlantic with Russian submarines everywhere
That’s just the facts .Russia is not Iraq
@@user-ft2bt9kw7x "With russian submarines everywhere" your whole country has 49 submarines dummy, you think 49 submarines are enough to protect 17.100.000 km² of land? Also most of those are North Korean imports, so goodluck
🤣🤣🤣
@@user-ft2bt9kw7x Did you forget about South Korea my friend? We have almost as big an army as you do yet our country is 100x smaller, you people are so delusional you actually think only the US has a big army, don't forget we are part of Nato too 😉, and here unlike in Russia we have manditory military service for 2-3 years for all males
@@user-ft2bt9kw7x 49 submarines to protect 17.100.000 km² of land, goodluck 🤣🤣
Bad idea now Lithuania a target
Lithuania is always a target for Putin! Whether with NATO troops or without troops🤡
Sooooo, Russia is scared of 1600 nato troops?
@@kolofko3482 Nato is scared of one man
@@kolofko3482 1600 troops with guns can be a threat . But they won’t be there for long
@user-ft2bt9kw7x you are right. They regularly rotate. So in few months there will be different soldiers possibly from different nato nations.
The NATo in Europe is not much. People forget that the NATO is only strong when you count the US army with it. But Russia is way stronger than the NATO troops only in Europe. In case of war the US dont bring their whole army here.. ALaska is also close to Russia, they have to defend their own borders in case of ww3. Russia wil shred Europe, not because they are way better... they have production, we not. The NATo dont have enough weapons and munitions to defend them self for long time against Russia. Thats why the NATO must stop delivering weapons to Ukraine and have to build up own army first. Ukraine can not even handle the modern nato equipment, thats why they have big losses with NATO equipment, thats not because the NATO equipments sucks, its because they can not handle it, its to difficult for them, and a lot of equipment is not even build for full scale war.. The Abram for example, good tank against farmers and fishers in Iraq and Afganistan, but in Ukraine they are garbage. While that tank is designed in the cold war.. A T72 one shotted an Abram.
lol...what a try ruzzki botski....
The troops stationed in Lithuania are not intended to serve solely as a "protective force", but rather some troops from various nations were stationed there in case the Russians or Belarusians come up with the "glorious idea" of attacking Lithuania. That would be fatal for Russians and Belarusians.....they know exactly what such an attack on a NATO country with different militaries from Europe would result in.
Nice story
LOL nice story. Meanwhile russians are getting their behinds handed to them by ukrainian farmers with tractors.
1 million Ruski troops vs 3.5 million Nato troops, guess math is something they never taught in Russia
The EU Combined Armies are larger than anything Russia can muster 🤣
