Is another country going to be destroyed, will it become part of Russia? Putin creates 'Mahabharata' maze, satellite image reveals
Russia's military has commenced new building operations on a number of key military bases in northwest Russia. Numerous such bases exist from the time of the Soviet Union, which are now being brought back online.
The Russian military has initiated new building on a number of key military bases in northwestern Russia. Several of the bases were built during the Soviet era, which are being brought back into service. This shows that Russia is preparing a plan to fortify the region after Finland and Sweden became members of NATO.
Greater activity at four significant bases
Four Russian military bases — Kamenka, Petrozavodsk, Severomorsk-2 and Olenya — have witnessed intense movements in recent months, Sweden-based channel SVT reported. These images have been captured by satellite company Planet Labs.
Kamenka: Only 35 miles from the border
Over 130 military tents have been set up since February in Kamenka, only 35 miles from the Finnish border. That is sufficient for a whole brigade i.e. approximately 2,000 soldiers. This region, which was once peaceful, is now teeming with the presence of soldiers.
New warehouses in Petrozavodsk
Building construction is also under rapid progress in Petrozavodsk. Three huge warehouses have been constructed there, which are likely intended to store armored tanks. It is only 100 miles away from the border of Finland.
Severomorsk-2 is activated
Severomorsk-2 airport in the north, which had been closed down earlier, has now come back into service. Helicopters and other equipment of the army can be witnessed here. It is near both Norway and Finland.
Russian attacks on Ukraine from Olenaya airbase
Olenaya airport, some 90 miles from the Finnish border, has been blamed for bombing Ukraine. Kiev says Russian attack planes have been launched from here.
Russia is probing NATO solidarity
Finland's deputy defense chief, Lieutenant General Vesa Virtanen, insists that Russia is testing NATO's cohesion on purpose. He further stated that previously Russia had attempted to exert pressure in the form of cyber attacks and immigration but now it is openly resorting to military action.
More troops will be sent in the future
Virtanen informed that Russia is going to deploy more of its soldiers in the area. As per him, this whole military setup is now being transformed into four to five divisions. He further added that Finland is completely on guard and prepared to face any situation.
