War 2.0
US military hardware, including
M1A2 Abrams battle tanks and Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, have
arrived in the northern Estonian town of Tapa as part of continued US
efforts to counter the alleged Russian threat.
More than 50 units of US military
equipment, including four battle tanks and 15 infantry fighting
vehicles, were delivered to Tapa, the Estonian Defense Forces said in
a statement. The personnel of the Charlie Company of 68th Armored
Regiment's 1st Battalion from the US Army 4th Infantry Division
arrived in the town two days earlier, on January 30.
The company commander, Captain
Edward Bachar, said that the US troops would take part in the
Estonian Independence Day parade. Earlier, Bachar also said that his
company would begin its expert marksmanship training this week.
The unit would replace a
paratrooper company of the 173rd Airborne Brigade's 503rd Infantry
Regiment, which was deployed to Estonia in September. The paratrooper
company would then go back to its permanent base in Italy.
