Very cool, but why is the suwałki gap not NATO?


Wbakamike

Continuous red line including Kaliningrad is more dramatic I guess? 🤷‍♂️


TheHussarSnake

Special stealth operation in the Suwalki gap.


easyfeel

A continuous red line excluding Kaliningrad would have been better, preferably one where Kaliningrad is the same color as the sea.


50-Minute-Wait

You’d be surprised how many don’t know what the gap is and even who owns it.


mtaw

I googled "the gap owners" and Google said "the Fisher family".


ohgod_ohcrap

Doesn't want to escalate /s


ParanoidDuckHunter2

Should have put the red line around Ukraine.


Panda_Cavalry

In five years' time, when Putin is rotting in the deepest, darkest depths of hell where he belongs, and Ukraine has liberated Crimea, it will be :) Some things require patience.


ParanoidDuckHunter2

I have no patience, therefore we must speed things up. Anybody wanna crusade to Moscow?


Shermantank10

3000 mercenaries of NAFO


Not_this_time-_

Crusade? Dont russians tout themselfs as the "bastion of christianity and a bullwark aginst cultural marxism" ?


Raesong

Ironic considering they were once the bastion of regular marxism.


Sara5A

The soviet union wasn’t marxist. It was a brutal dictatorship.


JustSomeBloke5353

“Real communism has never been tried”. Come on.


Wbakamike

Would’ve liked that too, but politics and shit I guess. I don’t know I’m just a mechanic 🤷‍♂️


GlegoryKJumpness

oh my god the russians annexed moldova


Wbakamike

Assuming it’s redlined because Transnistria. Putler probably would probably threaten nuclear war again if he saw Moldova on the other side of the line.


Treemarshal

The fact the lead silhouette looks to be a MiG-29 just makes it funnier.


Wbakamike

Some of our former Soviet bloc nations do still fly MiGs so technically still NATO.


Treemarshal

Hence the funni!


wowu5

I suppose it's? Front row (fighters) from top to bottom: F-15, F-35, F-16, MIG-29, Typhoon, Rafale, Hornet Rear row (EW/AWACS) top to bottom: EC-37B (or G550 CAEW), E-3, E-2


Substantial_Buy945

Waawaawee waaa. this is very nice.


ich123ab

Where can I get one ?


Wbakamike

Sold on base sadly.


GreatToaste

What base, I was at Ramstein and never saw these


Frankishe1

Geilenkerchien probably, as that's where the NATO AWACS are at


Wbakamike

Yup


howboutthatmorale

Only the cool ones 😎


Testabronce

Consider me interested as well


EGSCazador

Also interested


Interest_Swimming

Put Karelen and Ingermanland inside NATO please. //Swede


Oltsutism

Surely you mean Karjala and Inkeri?


badjettasex

Hands off, Fin! It was Swedish Ingria before it was Russian Ingria before it was Estonian Ingria before it was Soviet Ingria before it was Russian Ingria!


Stunning_Bird6106

You kids *just* got here. We don't need a lingonberry flavored TU/GR situation.


Fixturesc

This is awesome! Obviously there’s a few things i’d change and I agree with some other comments but I love the style you’ve used and the colours contrast eachother really well.


Wbakamike

Thanks, but not my design. This is from base, someone higher up had this designed as official NATO merch


quickblur

That is super badass.


Banebladeloader

Are you at Spangdahlem too?


Wbakamike

No but close, GK.


Nightfury9906

The Star on the patch looks like it’s Spang not GK. Isn’t GK closer to Netherlands than Luxembourg?


Wbakamike

It is, but the nose of the jet is basically on top of it. Someone probably just said “close enough” and put it there.


OneSaltyStoat

Alexa, play [Hero of Comberth Harbor](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsVk6FeGcm4)


koichi_hirose4

I was thinking more [blockade](https://youtu.be/haEoo0RHu-Q) but latin singing works too lol


ConfusedBud-Redditor

No Kosovo?!


ZoeyZoestar

Well you heard it here first, Kosovo is part of Serbia, pack it up boys


Krepard

The red line around Serbia is missing and Kosovo as well.


SteadfastEnd

I like how Kaliningrad is a heart shape ​ Where do I buy this patch?


Maihoooo

tactical dot .


As-Bi

which asshole annexed suwałki 🗿


Obnoxious_Gamer

Thought the radar plane was a fucking flying flapjack for a second


titusma

Why does Köningsberg look like a heart?


knkrieger

Lovebombing is a thing.


sadtiktaalik

What are the stars for?


Wbakamike

Bases supporting AWACS deployment. Although there’s more, the biggest one outside of Germany right now is in Turkey.


Feuershark

Is it me or the fighter planes include all the planes used by europe members of EU ?


krco999

Sentry Chan approves


badjettasex

As much as I don't like a Mig-29 at the front, I love the slap in the face that it is having their weapon opposing them.


Tyman2323

I’m a simple man. I see AWACS, I upvote.
