Lithuania's BIG Armed Forces Day Parade (2023)
I think big events like these are typically well-covered ANYWAYS and people tend to get the BEST views by watching on television… BUT I guess I changed my mind and thought I would AT LEAST share with you my experience of the day - well, perhaps more the night before with some behind-the-scenes footage.

Lithuania's Order For UH-60M Black Hawk Helicopters
Просмотров 7 тыс.12 часов назад
Continuing to look at the current and future capabilities of Lithuania’s armed forces, today i thought it would be interesting to look at the country’s order for 4 UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters and related equipment. The choppers are supposed to begin arriving this year and I’m sure it will keep Lithuania’s air force busy. Join this channel as a Patreon patron to get access to perks: www.patreo...

How Are Lithuania & Poland Defending The Suwalki Gap?

One POLITICO article calls it “the most dangerous place on earth,” while others have called it NATO’s weakest point. It’s not hard to see why the Suwalki gap has these names.

    Lithuanians' brains are as big as a bowl. They only know that the name of Taiwan is the Republic of China, and the name of the mainland is the People's Republic of China. Although the name is different, each other's constitutions stipulate that their respective territorial sovereignty, including the mainland and Taiwan, are essentially one country, but the country's name is different.

    Vilnius would benefit of a real tramway now. Build a tramway on those streets with several trolleybus routes, such as Stotis-Sauletekis and Valkininkų st.-Žirmūnų žiedas. Leave the rest of the lines served with renewed trolleybus network. My hometown (Tampere, Finland) is half the size of Vilnius and we just built a brand new tramway with two lines. Vilnius has no excuse to not have trams, you don't need to build it inside the the Old Town either :)

    I'm from Poland, and I never ever thought anything bad or disrespectful about Lithuanians. To be honest, I don't understand why on the other direction there is so strong resentment against Poland. I know that the PL-LT Commonwealth was described or perceived as a "Polish colonization" of Lithuania. But can you please give me an example when the Duke of "colonized" country became a king of the country, which "colonized" his country? This is an absurd, this is not even close to logical thinking. It's a pity that none of Central and Eastern European countries didn't want to join Intermarium Federation proposed by Piłsudzki. What is the European Union or the NATO right now? Very close to that idea. That led to conflicts instead of alliances, and in the end, the growth of the Soviet Union influences: poverty and tyranny shared by them in our countries. From my perspective, strong resentment against Poland was established by Russians to create anti-polish resentment in the Lithuanian society, to justify that "Russians are better than Poles because Poles were bad to Lithuanians". Lithuanian brothers, nobody has nothing against you in Poland. We need each other like a family. Together, we stand, divided we fall.

    From someone who moved to Kaunas from a small town 7 years ago, hated it at first, wished I was in Vilnius instead, but has grown to love it very much: It is way smaller than Vilnius, which can be seen as both a pro and a con. I see it as the former. It’s cosier The nightlife is not as vivid and active as it is in Vilnius, but I don’t mind The architecture is different. Kaunas is mostly known for its modernistic, Lithuanian art deco buildings, but you have to kind of know what to pay attention to. And various small and big churches. Vilnius has a more historical feel to its old town buildings. Kaunas old town is easier to navigate. Ofc Vilniaus street and the old town surrounding it with little shops and cafes and stuff. Then you got Laisvės avenue and its parallels: Putvinskio, Donelaičio, Kęstučio streets. All of them lovely to walk around, beaded with galleries and museums, many of them about Lithuanian history or art, which I miss in Vilnius. From Kęstučio you can choose to go the science island and Žalgiro arena and sports complex, the Akropolis mall, or, like me, pick any of the one hundred hidden stairs from Putvinskio/Laisvės up to Žaliakalnis, and explore the cosy neighbourhood,Perkūno alėja and the neighbouring streets with 20th century apartments, or the holy grail, my haven and consolation - Ąžuolynas, the meaty oak park in basically the middle of the city, with its lovely paths and hidden treasures. Around it’s perimeter you’ll find the lovely Ąžuolynas library, zoo park at the other end, the student town/campus, another, wilder grove with a small creek, lovely food trucks at both ends, Žalakalnio neighbourhood with traditional lithuanian houses in half circle streets (gėlių ratas and minties ratas). It’s a lovely place to live in, I think. Both Nemunas and Neris shores are walkable for long slow strolls or bike rides. But what I enjoy the most is the art scene, the giant graffiti, poetry, hidden gems like the Yard Gallery (a used to be ghetto turned neighbourhood turned fluxes art nook). Countless small artist residence museums, several galleries. It is lovely.

    That’s exactly right. This christmas was the first time i went to Riga to spend some time walking around on foot, as opposed to driving to the airport at night. It really did feel like slightly more german lithuania in terms of architecture, or a mix between Klaipėda and Vilnius maybe? And it’s almost like you’re in another country but not exactly? Truly a liminal space feeling. Slightly exhausting and confusing. I’d love to spend more time in Latvia and maybe learn some of the language

Is it due to inflation, or maybe because the U.S. government is assisting with the purchase only to a certain price point, which allows Lithuania to only purchase what the U.S. supports them to purchase? I have many questions but I’m happy Lithuania will have this. I hope more pilots are repairpeople are trained in the future too! Also I love the new vlog channel! All your content has been great.

      Sure. The problem is to get few hundreds of additional billions.

      The Baltic states are better served by focusing their resources on things like armored vehicles and artillery and working with allies to provide air support.

      ​​​@@cm275I have said it before, but it would seem like a good idea to establish a common or mutually reinforcing layered air defense system for the Baltic countries if they have a need to have their own finger on the trigger, so to speak, when it comes to responding to violations of their airspace or defending against air threats against their countries during wartime. It would help each of these these small countries stand a little more firmly on their own feet if it ever comes to the worst and their sovereignty becomes contested. Their biggest weakness, the geographical smallness of the Baltic countries makes ground based long range air defence systems relatively more cost-effective compared to fleets of combat aircraft, since a relatively few number of batteries could be able to cover the entire airspace.

    Probably the best choice to buy the UH-60. I can't wait for them to be delivered. It's a shame they've been delayed again.

      Since Latvia and Denmark already have them in the Baltic region, it’ll be interesting to see Estonia ends up acquiring some at some point as well.

      Short of escalating into a total nuclear war, Russia stepping into the Baltics would see all of its fleets annihilated by the U.S. within a day. The rest of its forces would be gone within a week.
