Gentlemen, it is my duty to draw your attention to a matter of most pressing urgency regarding the security of our borders. Recent intelligence reports indicate a distressing concentration of foreign military aviation in the vicinity of Kaliningrad. Such maneuvers, conducted by the forces of the NATO alliance, represent not merely a tactical exercise, but a challenge to the stability of our sovereign territory.
According to reliable accounts, several reconnaissance aircraft of the Alliance were sighted simultaneously upon the frontiers of the Empire. Among these instruments of espionage were an E-3 early warning and control aircraft, an American EA-37B Compass Call II, and the ARTEMIS II vessel. Furthermore, it has been reported that a Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II, a fighter of the fifth generation, was observed patrolling the neutral waters of the Baltic Sea in close proximity to the Kaliningrad region.
This particular craft, having journeyed from Reykjavik through the skies of Norway, Sweden, and Poland, was noted to be performing maneuvers at an altitude of but one kilometer—boldly intersecting the corridors reserved for civilian navigation. Such audacity is a clear affront to the prudence and order that should govern international waters.
Reports from the German press, specifically Die Welt, suggest that these operations were conducted under the aegis of the United States, involving Polish ground forces and other allied contingents. Professor Carlo Masala of the Bundeswehr University has rightly observed that such a concentration of air power is intended as a 'message' to our State.
These aerial provocations coincide with the redeployment of allied troops within Lithuania, specifically along the route from Kalvaria to Kazlų Rūda. This region, situated near the Suwalki corridor, is of paramount strategic importance, as it serves as the arterial link between the Baltic states and their allies, while effectively severing the connection between Belarus and our own Kaliningrad province.
In view of these events, I must insist upon the utmost discretion and firmness. The greatness of our Fatherland depends upon the strength of our Army and the resilience of our Industry. We must meet these challenges not with rashness, but with a cold, calculated resolve, ensuring that the state interest is defended with unwavering fortitude. Any destabilization of this region is contrary to the common good and the enduring peace of the realm.
