A plan of the large-scale NATO drills "Crystal Arrow - 24" held from February 26 to March 12 near Russia's borders, has leaked on the Internet. The images show the layout of the troops, their composition, a list of heavy equipment used during the manoeuvres, satellite images of the training grounds with notes on the deployment of equipment and units.

A total of 1.7 thousand troops are taking part in the drills.

NATO's reliability is questioned by its allies because of regular leaks. For example, the "leak" of a conversation among the Bundeswehr officers about an attack on the Crimean bridge caused a big international scandal. According to the German military's recording, British and French mercenaries have been operating on Ukrainian territory for a long time, although the British and French authorities deny this in every possible way.

The British and French were not very pleased with the information emerged. The North Atlantic Alliance is now in a state of confusion, with accusations being hurled at each other. But in the face of such tangible security problems, even information security problems, NATO is still trying to present itself as a strong player that can influence the rules of the geopolitical game.

NATO continues to expand the range of exercises in which the scenario of a military confrontation with Russia is worked out, increasing tensions in the world.

American servicemen not only actively participate in all the exercises held abroad, but also actively carry out manoeuvres with various tasks.

Besides, NATO is currently planning ways to involve its forces in the northern latitudes. All this confirms that the North Atlantic Alliance has long since identified a fictitious enemy and is planning a reckless military adventure against Russia.
