NATO SURROUNDING RUSSIA! NATO allies carry-out military drills in armoured tanks in Latvia.

NATO allies carry-out military drills in armoured tanks in Latvia.
Vice President Kamala Harris vowed to defend 'every inch' of NATO territory Thursday as US troops fired Stinger missiles during military drills in Estonia and as Vladimir Putin's moved within a few miles of Kyiv as their brutal invasion continued.

The exercises were a sign of both defensive might and coordination capabilities, amid concerns about Vladimir Putin's plans as his forces continued their brutal invasion of Ukraine.

The forces carried out air defense drills in cold weather exercises in coastal areas of Estonia, a NATO ally, with U.S., British, Estonian, as well as forces from Finland – NATO partner but not a member of the alliance.
They take place in the winter to demonstrate the ability to operate in harsh conditions,' Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said in late February when announcing the Operation Saber Strike exercises.

During the exercises, allied troops used Stryker armored vehicles Thursday to fire Stinger missiles – the same weapons the U.S. and allies are rushing into the hands of Ukrainian forces resisting the Russian invasion. According to the Pentagon, Ukrainian forces have been using weaponry provided by allied nations to well – and video images have revealed a succession of destroyed Russian armor during the two-week old war.

The exercises are also meant to practice and demonstrate the complex coordinated maneuvers NATO forces have trained for – amid signs of severe Russian problems with supply lines and coordinated air and ground forces during their two-week old invasion of Ukraine.

With temperatures in parts of Ukraine dropping to -10 C, military experts are warning Russian tanks stranded in a convoy south of Kiev could turn into ''40-ton freezers,' given fuel supply issues.

It call comes as Vice President Kamala Harris vowed in Warsaw that the U.S. would defend 'every inch' of NATO territory – while allied nations scrambled to funnel arms to Ukraine in what has become the largest arms effort since the Cold War.

The United States is prepared to defend every inch of NATO territory. The United States takes seriously that an attack against one is an attack against all,' Harris said.

But there are still grave concerns among non-NATO members about whether Russian President Vladimir Putin may be eyeing further territory.

For some European countries watching Russia's brutal war in Ukraine, there are fears that they could be next.
