In a significant display of military might, over 2,300 British and NATO troops, including the British Army's 16AirAssltBCT and 3rd Battalion, are participating in Exercise Swift Response near Russia's border. This exercise, described as part of the larger Exercise Steadfast Defender and as NATO's largest since the Cold War, involves various operations including parachute jumps, assaults on simulated Russian positions, and the use of Apache helicopters. The exercise aims to showcase the readiness of NATO forces to respond to potential threats. This comes amid reports of Russia recruiting far-right extremists for attacks in the UK and NATO countries, and engaging in covert operations like sabotage to disrupt Western support to Ukraine.
