Политика није пренијела комплетан чланак у оригиналу, зато сам ставио и енглеску верзију, а она је са енглеске верзије сајта естонског јавног сервиса.
Провукао сам текст кроз гугл преводиоца (естонски на енглески) и то што је у чланску на енглеском је то.
Citat:But, in the future, Russia will not need three years – the time frame suggested by various intelligence agencies across Europe – to prepare for an attack on another country, he said.
"Today's war machine in Russia works so well that if it wants to do just a one-month military operation against Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania, to create very ugly images here, knowing that it would lose militarily – it doesn't need any special preparation for that," Herem said.
Additionally, Russia may not aim to win a war, but to create exploitable tensions.
"The result of this [Russian attack] could be a military victory for us – 20,000 dead on their side and only a thousand on ours. But our military victory could be ugly enough that most of you would say that the commander of the defense forces was stupid, that the politicians did not allocate enough money – we would quarrel among ourselves and we would also blame the Latvians and the Germans for being too slow. This may be a Russian objective that Russia will exploit later," Herem said.
Citat:Estonia, Finland and Sweden can take control of the Baltic Sea from the first moment of aggression by cutting off supply routes, he said: "If we close the Baltic Sea, how are you [Russia] going to get potatoes from St. Petersburg to Kaliningrad?"
Enemy units entering Estonian territory will be stopped by infantry or tanks.
"But all those who want to influence us from a distance of 50 or 100 kilometers, as is happening today in Ukraine, and for which they have no remedy – we will crush them! We will destroy them not in Rakvere or Narva, but in Ivangorod, Petseri or somewhere else there [in Russia]," said Herem.
"If there are rumors that we have bought things from the Americans or Israel that we are not allowed to send across the border, it is not true. This has been clear from the beginning," the general said.
Herem is absolutely certain Estonia would win militarily against Russia, but the victory could be ugly.
