Η πρόσφατη κούρσα εξοπλισμών μετά τον πόλεμο της Ουκρανίας, φέρνει ξανά στο προσκήνιο μια κατάσταση που θυμίζει εποχές Ψυχρού Πολέμου.
Η εισβολή της Ρωσίας στην Ουκρανία έχει φέρει τη Μόσχα σε μια -λεκτική ακόμη- αντιπαράθεση με το ΝΑΤΟ που δεν είχαμε δει ποτέ ξανά να φτάνει σε τέτοια επίπεδα έντασης στη νεότερη ιστορία.
Οι συγκρούσεις μεταξύ των ρωσικών και των ουκρανικών δυνάμεων στα μέτωπα του πολέμου έχουν αναδείξει πολλές από τις δυνατότητες αλλά και τις αδυναμίες του ρωσικού στρατού σε στεριά, θάλασσα και αέρα.
Μπορεί, μεν, το ΝΑΤΟ να έχει επαναλάβει πολλές φορές ότι δεν πρόκειται να εμπλακεί στρατιωτικά στον πόλεμο της Ουκρανίας -η οποία δεν είναι μέλος του- όμως ήδη κινητοποιεί εδώ και πολλές εβδομάδες στρατιωτικές δυνάμεις στην ανατολική Ευρώπη, για να αποφύγει ένα πολύ σοβαρό «ατύχημα».
Ιδιαίτερο, όμως, ενδιαφέρον έχει και η καταγραφή της στρατιωτικής ισχύος της Συμμαχίας, έναντι αυτής της Μόσχας. Ας δούμε τα τελευταία φετινά στοιχεία, όπως τα έχει συγκεντρώσει η ιστοσελίδα globalfirepower.com.

epa06441066 A handout photo made available by the British Ministry of Defence (MOD) showing two Russian Blackjack Tupolev Tu-160 long-range bomber after a British Royal Air Force (RAF) Typhoon aircraft (not pictured) was scrambled from RAF Lossiemouth, Scotland, 15 January 2018. The MOD report that the RAF Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) Typhoon aircraft scrambled from RAF Lossiemouth to monitor two Russian Blackjack Tupolev Tu-160 long-range bombers approaching British airspace. The RAF worked closely with NATO partners to monitor the jets as they passed through a variety of international airspace, before they were intercepted by the RAF in the North Sea. Subsequently, our fighters escorted the Russian Blackjacks north, out of the Britains area of interest. At no time did the Russian bombers enter British sovereign airspace. The Russian Military aircraft did not talk to air traffic control making them a hazard to all other aviation.
