Chinese website SunNews published a scathing commentary that mocked US publications about the imminent mobilization of US troops in Europe on NATO's eastern flank. According to discover24.ru website, which published the translation of the commentary, in the event of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, the US Command in Europe would first scramble fighter aircraft of the US Air Force to ensure air supremacy on NATO's eastern flank that stretches from the Baltic Sea and Poland to the borders of Ukraine. Afterwards, the 173rd US Airborne Brigade will swiftly be mobilised and landed at key points in the Baltic region. Armored mechanised units of the US Army stationed in Germany will then move to NATO's eastern borders. The US Army did not have one single tank in Europe before 2014, when Russia reunited with Crimea. Nowadays, the US has a tank brigade of M1A2 Abrams tanks. In addition, an army aviation brigade and a long-range missile launcher were stationed in Germany. As soon as security problems in border areas emerge, US troops will be sent there immediately.
