Troops from all three services of the British military have taken part in a major Nato exercise in Estonia.
Exercise Spring Storm sees 1,500 British personnel join servicemen and women from 11 Nato countries, the first time the UK has conducted a brigade-sized deployment to the country.
Brigadier Giles Harris, Commander, Nato enhanced Forward Presence, told Forces News the exercise was about “beginning to visualise and understand the planning to pull forward a brigade into Estonia in a time of crisis”.

All the boarders covered an players on the board.
Thankyou all for your services.
From Poole.
Waiting for the "only 1500" Comments by users that haven't even looked into the operation.
You can't even defend yourselves from Albanians in rubber dingys.
Have the British Army ever thought of defending their own country from the mass invasion happening daily on our south coast? Or maybe defending us against the corrupt and traitorous UK government and their relentless attack on democracy and freedom of speech?
NATO should ask Ukraine for some tips. Right now Ukraine is the most experience and battle hardened military in the world.
We may be a small military overall but still well respected across the globe especially in the former Baltic States who feel extremely grateful for our support, the British government needs to wake up though and increase its strengths all-round,
pledge aligence to your feudal lord or be invaded by imaginary despots oh and pay intrest to the oligarchy
Let's get these treyitors tried for tr eason.
Those French parachutes 😱. I mean, wow the pendulum the fast drop, do these guys still have cartilage in the knees?!
I like the cut at 2:37 just before the guy drops a bottle on himself
Damn! Those French parachutes look like something out WW2!
As a UK tax payer, I'd prefer to see our Armed Force's deployed protecting our South-Eastern border, we're being invaded! The fact that they're not, supports the theory that successive UK governments are encouraging illegal migration into the UK?!
What will they gain if they kill all the Russians…..10000 against 1 something fishy is happening
There are similar battle groups in Latvia and Estonia, as well. They are not only there for rapid response, they are "tripwire" forces that will be quickly reinforced if the Russians try anything in that direction. The Russians have stated their intention to re-occupy the Baltic countries but their capacity to do so has likely left the barn.
We need more troops
Its crazy how years ago the consensus was that the baltics couldn't hold their territories against an invasion, when nowadays the possibility of Russia even crossing the border became almost impossible.
The Russian military is incompetent.
The last thing Putin would want to do is start a war with NATO.
The Russian can't even win against Ukraine.
Estonia is safer now than it has ever been.
Always nice to see the Brits and French together!
1500? bit overkill innit?
I just hope that all the lessons learnt from the Ukrainians massive successes are being integrated into this exercise and skills further honed. E.g. extensive use of drones with associated coordination, portable antitank weaponry etc. The narrative here gave me the impression it was old tactics and equipment.
It's going to be a wonderful thing working with Estonia and UK together in the event of any residual Russian aggression
Another good video by Forces News. Thank you.
We are determined to not lose any more countries to a dictator. NATO is strong, we are ready. We don't wish to invade, we wish for peace. Russia needs to calm down. Counter insurgency is much different from invading a European country. Russian people are one of 3 things. Purposely oblivious. Anarchists, or like many countrymen around the world: dedicated to the success of their motherland. Putin needs to retire, and the structure he created needs to reevaluate its position in the global scale of things.
Why do we always have less personel than literally everyone??wether we either assist or attack.. Sort it out uk government,but its OK we have the best trained military in the world.. that's true and great,but they ain't the best if we run out!! Stop cutting,you cut police,nurses,fireman,military,cut cut cut cut,but pay yourselves ridiculous wages uk government,are you making us weak on purpose??
Train, arm, supply Estonia now!
Not when they are under a 'Military Operation ' by Russia
LMT rifle is better tban that sa 80 lighter and options of 762.
so 1500 troops is now a brigade?
quick bbc cancel it… it looks like blackface!
I'm really starting to question the need for NATO, in 2023 we found out the Russian military was second best IN Russia
RETREAT!!!!
RubleZ are coming in your town, shortly
To our allies in (and outside) NATO, thank you for being here. We appreciate every single allied personnel here, be it a cook, a fighter pilot or a second lieutenant.
Those thermal imagers would be very spooky to be on the wrong end of. I'm glad that I'm not Russian lol
1:34 firing a huge burst with his friends head so close to the muzzle like that 😨 he needs to get well out of the way

NATO forces are show peace. Russia is not blind to know ur acts.
They will be massacred like u tested in Bhakmut.😂
