British troops deploy into Kosovo by testing new strategic Nato corridor

Soldiers from Catterick have made history by becoming the first Nato troops to be deployed along a new strategically significant road route through the Balkans.
Corridor 8 is designed to allow Nato to deploy forces quickly, and connects the Adriatic and Black Seas while running through Albania, North Macedonia and Bulgaria.
Soldiers from 1st Battalion The Royal Yorkshire Regiment have "proven the route" as the battalion deployed to Kosovo, where it will remain as part of Nato's KFOR operation until next year.

And Germany now establishing a permanent brigade based in Lithuania ,& Poland to build defense/ line facing Belarus ,and kaliningrad, that line extending to extend south from the Baltic Defense Line ..also Poland and Lithuania been on exercises to hold the Suwalki Gap , and Nato itself as part of Steadfast Defender exercises,with almost 100,000 troops, practicing plans to fight in that theatre if needed , to reinforce the Poles Balts etc
