Russia sends an entire BRIGADE to NORWAY'S border | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 21853831 Norway 12/02/2012 09:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I understand it is an island...but, being on the edge of Norway makes the Russians that much closer to the island. Svar you May not know is that the Islands of Svalbard Are shared by Russian and Norway. You can't get much closer than "already there!!" You can't just "go" there either. I do not believe you at all...if you could assign a beautiful Norwegian lady to escort me into the area...I am sure I could be convinced to believe you ;-) Just kidding! Thank you for the information! If they wanted sole possession of the islands...then maybe they would use a brigade of soldiers to do this? Yes, the ladies here are lovely in all directions! Svalbard is special type of DMZ. There is normal people there who work and send their children to school. Never been there myself, but it is last outpost that's for sure, better for armies to stay on the fastland and neither freeze or starve. Not Seed Bank. Defending northern frontier. |

Please help me understand. As an American, if I think of a DMZ - I think of the DMZ between South and North Korea. The war between South and North Korea never really ended...there is only a war stoppage. Is the DMZ between Norway and Russia similar to that - is there still some sort of declared war between Norway and Russia? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 24011342 United States 12/02/2012 09:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Svalbard Treaty of 1920 recognizes Norwegian sovereignty, and the 1925 Svalbard Act made Svalbard a full part of the Kingdom of Norway. This act also established Svalbard as a free economic zone and a demilitarized zone. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21853831 Thank you for the information. So, let me ask this: Why do you think the Russians are moving a brigade to the border with Norway? |

Why is this strategically important? The entire country of Finland borders Russia and Sweden is on the other side. |

This kind of brigades are ideal for peacekeeping or defensive operations, having little to no value in offensive operations (low to no recon elements, and limited mobility artilery, with long setup times). |

Quoting: N3m3s1s Norway's border with Russia is only about 50 miles across and it's in the middle of nowhere. Why is this strategically important? The entire country of Finland borders Russia and Sweden is on the other side. The only strategic thing in this area (to my little knowledge) is the gas pipeline project to the Shtockman field.
