"FOR BALTIC DEFENSE, FORGET THE ‘FOREST BROTHERS’"

Thanks to the Internet web site War on the Rocks and the article by KEVIN BLACHFORD AND RONALD TI. Further input from You Tube and additional thanks to same.

BALTIC DEFENSE FOR THE NATO MEMBER-STATES OF LATVIA/ESTONIA/LITHUANIA IN CASE OF  RUSSIAN ATTACK.

"Given the power, depth, and scope of modern offensive firepower coupled with the sophistication of intelligence, surveillance, and target acquisition capabilities, the overwhelming lesson from recent asymmetric conflicts is that only an urban environment can enable a much weaker force to operate in the face of increasing asymmetries. Urban terrain is more likely to provide a weaker force the ability to move below the threshold of detection, and only urban terrain provides sufficient hardness and friction to negate the advantages of modern firepower and surveillance. The forests and wooded terrain typical of the Baltics provide none of these mitigations, which can tip the balance in the favor of a weaker defensive combatant."

THINK GROZNY THE TWO CHECHEN WARS!! STAY-BEHIND LITHUANIA/ESTONIA/LATVIA. GLADIO BALTIC STYLE URBAN WARFARE!

You Tube video The Forest Brothers. Continued fighting in the Baltic nations post-1945. Guerrilla warfare resistance to the Soviet occupier. Suppressed only by great difficulty.

Russian controlled [?] media Russian Times response to the video. 

Armed resistance to a Russian invasion of the Baltic states best combatted by urban warfare? Destructive in the extreme for all sides including civilians. Preparations Gladio style being  made even as we speak? NATO front-line nations as the ready? Russians must realize the gains are far out-weighed by the debits.
