Two french soldiers had to be rescued. They were cold and called the HQ for help. A rescue-chopper picked them up. Sissy "soldiers". Ok, it was close to minus 40 degrees celsius many places in Norway but still.

A car crashed with a Leopard tank. They stopped the car when they saw that the road was too narrow. The tank didn´t stop and just drove over one side of the car. Two people had to be taken to the hospital but survived. They describe it as a miracle as the car was crushed. A woman crashed into another tank and was taken to hospital. Some military vehicles almost crashed with a train on a railcrossing. Lots of action these days...

Wow, this looks like a cool operation. I'm glad some Europeans are still concerned with having an effective military.

The U.S. Marine Corps site is working now.

I was just thinking...I wonder if this some kind of response to recent Russian training exercises? Who else would NATO fight in such in an environment?

Unlike other previous multinational exercises in Norway, this is not a NATO operation...

OK, this is not a full or official NATO operation but appears to be a subset of NATO member states including several European nations and the United States. I think my observation/question still stands.

Very cool stuff. Always cool to see training ops like this.

Wait, if they invaded and hostile forces are in the cities they are entering - who are playing the the enemy forces? And what kind of rounds are they using? Blanks?

-wD

If I ever get such a nice car, I'll remember to not take it out in the street during military exercises! Do you know which country's forces did this?

The guy was in the car when the tank went over it? WTF I thought that only happened in Iraq (got a video of it).

Looks to me like they are practicing to invade Canada! Similar terrain! Maybe they want to free Canadians from the Liberal dictatorship that has enslaved conservative canuks.

I was thinking the same thing! People here have talked of Denmark and the U.S. going into Canadian waters...maybe this is a joint Scandinavian-American exercise in prelude to a takeover of Canada!

Eh enslave? Okay Batoche I hope you were joking cuz if you aren't then I am questioning your sanity

Yes. It's a conspiracy!

The excercise is actually a prolog to the New Viking World Order!
The plan (This is very hush-hush) is that Europe has agreed to attack with the US in Canada. But while the US messes around Way Up North, the United European Military Forces Pushes through, downwards and annect tha United States of North America.
Since the Canadian Authorities already concede to this plan, they will gladly upheld resistance against the US Forces, until The US Government Flag their whites...

Then, in the Great Spirit of Victory, the Canadian-European Community can deport the republican votees of the US into the old, but still functional Russian Gulags, for a symbolic trade-agreement fee.

It looks to me that the Mercedes is very nicely crafted.
Regard getting hit/run over by a 32 tonne heavy Leopard A1, it actually looks as if the suspension still works. -Although slightly bend, perhaps. To bad we cant see it's wrecked side. It woud be fun to see if the tires are still on!

The Germans can still make panzer, I see!
