«Elements of the NATO Rapid Reaction Force demonstrate their ability to defend every inch of Allied territory. Over 2,000 men from seven member countries participate in the Noble Jump exercise in Sardinia, Italy.

Tomorrow, May 12, is the date of the finale with a bang for the war simulations of the Alliance in the Teulada range: it is the day of the firing exercises and NATO has also intensified videos and messages on social networks. Everyone can read them, it is to be assumed that there is a particular addressee and that he sits in the Kremlin, the palace of power in Moscow, Russia.

The videos and photos posted on social channels look like commercials for the firepower expressed through the available armaments.

Tiger helicopters and Stinger rocket launchers will be used in the military area of Sulcis. And the Leopard 2 tanks, whose characteristics are sponsored: 10.97 meters long, they are 1.2 times faster than a real leopard and their projectiles are capable of penetrating 750 mm armor plates with a shot from a distance of two kilometers .

An advertisement for killing machines. And of defense. Depending on your point of view.
