Around 8,000 British Army troops and dozens of tanks will take part in exercises across eastern Europe to combat Russian aggression in one of the largest deployments since the Cold War.
Tens of thousands of Nato troops will join the British forces that will be deployed to countries ranging from Finland to North Macedonia this summer under plans that have been enhanced since the invasion of Ukraine.
The Joint Expeditionary Force alliance, which includes Finland and Sweden, will also be taking part.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said the purpose behind the exercises is to demonstrate how the British Army has modernised into a 'lethal, agile and global force'.
The action had been long planned, but that it had been enhanced in response since Russia invaded its neighbour in late February.

NATO holds exercises every year. My question is this one any larger then those in the recent past?
We want war with Russia so bad we can taste it.
Who’s “we”?
That's getting ever more obvious.
We baited Russia into attacking Ukraine the way we baited Iraq into attacking Kuwait - then sat back and watched it unravel.
I could almost say our Afghanistan departure fiasco was the fuse that lit this war.
We are at war with Russia. We have always been at war with Russia.
The globalists who want to enact the Great Reset.
Failing tyrants always turn to war.
The West is nothing but a collection of failing tyrants.
Agreed…but I just don’t understand why we want war so much. To cover up and distract from Joe’s incompetence and senility, to benefit the defense industry and somehow had a few more millions to the Biden bank account? To cover up the Biden corruption in the Ukraine and make it sound justifiable?
I have never ever in my life seen such a level of propaganda and such efforts to stir up war fever in this country, not even after 9/11.
Afghanistan may have lit this fuse but it certainly wasnt planned.
And “baited Iraq” is nuts. Saddam did what he wanted to do since the 1970s. He had what he thought was the most powerful army he was ever going to have, after it beat Iran.
As for baiting Putin, thats also nuts.
There are conspiracies in this world, but the real ones are conducted by flawed men with human incompetence and no better foresight, or ability to plan a decade ahead, than us groundlings.
Never forget it's the Biden Republicans who are driving this.
Okay, so they’re sending 8000 troops to eastern Europe. That’s the wise thing to do considering what’s been going on in Ukraine. Deployments help get soldiers ready in case they’re needed down the line.
And “baited Iraq” is nuts. .... As for baiting Putin, thats also nuts.
***Yup. It had me shaking my head.
Ahh, shades of Woodrow Wilson.
The desire for nuclear war by these people is for the purpose, if nothing else, the total and absolute destruction of the USA.
I was around and following the news back then. Do a deeper search into our "nod, nod, wink, wink" by the HW Bush crowd.
Sure Sadaam made the final decision, but not till after we indicated we had no dog in the fight.
And do you think Putin would have been this aggressive with a Donald Trump in the White House?
We'll never know - and neither do we know if we enter WWI with a president other than Wilson.
We want war with Russia so bad we can taste it.

Some Russian smartass broadcaster was joking about nuking Britain. This is the right response.
Ditto,,,,,,
Had they done this a year ago the war never would have happened.
