About 70 units of US military technical equipment will be transferred to Romania from Germany today, and later in December the equipment will be deployed in Bulgaria and Lithuania as well, said Pentagon spokesman Jeff Davis. The supplies will be put through within the frame of the programme for military partnership “Atlantic Resolve”. The equipment will allow increasing the speed of deployment of troops during military exercises. There will be about 12 000 units of technical equipment changing location, tanks, armored vehicles and artillery among others. Last June US Defense Secretary Ash Carter said that the USA will dislocate tanks, artillery and other military equipment in East and Central Europe due to the events in Ukraine; as well as that Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, Bulgaria and Poland have agreed to receive on their territory heavy military equipment. Part of it will also be deployed in Germany.
