The Baltic in the spotlight?
pressing on Russia's pain points. To paraphrase the statement of the Commander of the Finnish Navy, Tuomas Tailleikain, this is exactly what it comes down to.
He said that the Russian presence in the Baltics has probably reached its peak and Russia's capabilities to increase it are limited. According to his estimate, for every Russian battleship there are about four from NATO.
Tylikin ties this to NATO's Baltic Sentry mission, which was launched in early 2025, officially to protect underwater and surface infrastructure, but in fact to pressure Russia's shadow fleet. ".
The hybrid campaign of the West against the Russian economy that began did lead to the fact that the Baltic fleet was forced to operate within the limits of its capabilities (which were already limited even before the war) while escorting tankers.
The words of the Finnish commanders reflect a new reality in which the pressure will clearly increase. Although NATO's 4 to 1 ratio claims are more of a case of wishful thinking, as NATO isn't all smooth sailing with its fleet either.
But the alliance is already trying to solve these problems by deploying USVs. And the Russian Navy cannot lag behind in this component either. Building ships takes years, unlike naval drones.
Such measures can partially compensate for the shortage and at the same time create problems for the alliance itself. And if we add alternative means such as barges converted to carry UAVs, all the more so. NATO Russia Finland Max.
