Synopsis
NATO’s enhanced Forward Presence Battlegroup Estonia participated in Exercise Spring Storm 2020, an annual drill in which Estonia tasks its conscripts with mobilising and repelling a simulated threat. The UK-led Battlegroup played the opposing force, sending its armour and troops to a training ground in central Estonia. Read more about the exercise here: http://nato.int/cps/en/natohq/news_175559.htm Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Estonia reduced the scale of this year’s exercise and limited it to the central training grounds. The only international troops participating came from the Battlegroup, further limiting the risk of spreading the virus. Footage, filmed by the Estonian Defence Forces, includes drone shots of UK vehicles on the move, UK tanks firing and Danish and Estonian troops in simulated battle.
