You may laugh, but that sound struck fear into the hearts of Russians for centuries.

Their march look rediciolus but I get the point of it. The sound of that - Imaigne a thousand of troops marching like that. That the sound is scary as hell and it says that something big is comming for you. But that run rediciolus...

[TheXinforel]

Im Swedish but I must agree that looks rediciolus

@SpisadKoTunga Even if DK had a navy ship sailing into SWE waters we would be escorted out aswell. The Russians are testing the defense all over Europe. But they do not pose a threat

@SpisadKoTunga Almost happed again last week. They had to lower a specialist down onto the ship just to find the captain drunken.

@SpisadKoTunga What gas blockade?

No I havent served my country yet because Im busy studing as a smith. And our defense are cutting down heavily these years do economic crises. But when Im done with the smithing the military should start to recruit more and then Ill give it a shot - probaly in the navy.

The Russians arent very good sailers. In the past few years Ive seen quite a few Russian captains arrested because they grounded their ship into our islands.

@Blackie3391 Just Denmark and Norway? Oh so the gas blockade against eastern europe was friendly then?

Iam just gonna assume then that you havnt served your country yet.

Me and my ship was called out atleast 12 times to escort some russian cruisers from our waters.

And everytime the reason was "we had a GPS malfunction".

Oh no, they have always been a threat and they will ALWAYS be a threat to europe.

Thats one of the major reasons why i work in the military, so ill be ready.

... red alert intro?

Don't you understand? We have some dangerous poisonous snakes in the forests of Sweden, and everybody knows that Sweden is one big forest.

You can easily scare the snakes by stomping, because they are very sensitive to movements in the ground.

It's only to not be attacked by snakes that they 'stroll' like that.

Lol Reminds me of Monty Python

@SpisadKoTunga I think the only countries in Europa that could consider Russia a threat would be Denmark and Norway due to arctic territories - Norway already has their chunk right next to Russia and Denmark is trying to claim a chunk out of the northpole via Greenland. Its a area Russia is very interrested in and there is a small arms race going on(not sure if its still going) - Russia creating a new arctic navy and troops and (DK) us making an arctic reaction force and new arctic patrol ships.

@SpisadKoTunga Aggression from the east? Russia has done nothing to any European country and Russia has stated they dont want a war and many countries have good relations with Russia - In the past few years our queen has visited Russia and their president us - we have returned the remains of some Empress and think it was last year they sent a warship to CPH to discuss anti-pirate warfare. There is no threat from Russia what so ever. And no threat against Sweden either.
