The US Army plans to deploy about 150 tanks and armored vehicles to NATO countries next year and some of the heavy armor may be stationed in Eastern Europe, a top American general said November 25, 2014. The move is part of a US effort dubbed "Operation Atlantic Resolve" in the Baltic states and Poland to reassure allies anxious about a resurgent Russia, with American troops deploying for several months at a time to conduct joint exercises. Nearly 50 armored vehicles are already in place and another 100 M1 Abrams tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles will be "pre-positioned" in Germany and possibly elsewhere for the US troops conducting drills with NATO partners, Lieutenant General Ben Hodges told AFP in a phone interview from Estonia.

WASHINGTON - Američka vojska predviđa razmjestiti oko 150 tenkova i oklopnih vozila u više europskih zemalja članica NATO-a, od kojih će neki biti smješteni u istočnoj Europi kako bi sudjelovali u vježbama, rekao je američki general u utorak.

Taj plan dio je operacije "Atlantic Resolve", čiji je cilj uvjeriti baltičke zemlje i Poljsku, zabrinute zbog ruskih manevara u Ukrajini, da je NATO uz njih.

Osim razmještanja tih vozila, kopnene snage bit će slane redovito na nekoliko mjeseci kako bi sudjelovale u zajedničkih vježbama u tim zemljama.

"Pritom će snage dolaziti i odlaziti, a oprema će ostati na licu mjesta", rekao je general Ben Hodges.

To će biti puno ekonomičnije nego da se prije svake vježba transportiraju tenkovi i vozila preko Atlantika.
