As learned, from diplomatic sources, Albania has ordered a large batch of heavy artillery batteries from Great Britain...
In the midst of a season of investigations into the "big fish" of corruption by SPAK, an important news has arrived that creates real concern.
Amid a feverish arms race in the Balkans, from the countries of Tito's former Yugoslavia; Albania, until now, was one of the countries that had not 'put water on fire'.
The game between Serbia and Croatia, which are arming themselves to the teeth, seems not to have caused any problems in the Albanian army, which for years has been under the patronage, almost directly, of the Pentagon.
Apart from some Bajraktar drones and the famous Himars missiles, there were no rumors that Albania will increase its strategic weapons capacity.
Our country, after the destruction (1997), of a massive warehouse of Russian and Chinese weapons and ammunition of every level, was quickly disarmed, so much so that today Albania no longer even has a strategic military force.
But recently, as learned from diplomatic sources, Albania has ordered a large batch of heavy artillery batteries from Great Britain, which cost 150,000 euros per unit, not to mention ammunition and maintenance. A fact that is not only military in the narrow sense of military needs, but also has a strategic and political aspect.
Why does Albania need heavy artillery batteries, when the Albanian army removed all the old installations of medium and long-range artillery, with howitzer cannons that were deployed towards Greece and Yugoslavia by Enver Hoxha's regime?
Did NATO really ask Albania to remove artillery, land and sea installations?!
According to documentary data, there is no request for Albania to withdraw from its defense capability. Even other countries of the communist East; like Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, etc., did not give up, but modernized their military arsenal.
However, it does not seem that we are dealing with a clientelistic logic to help the British war industry, since this happens with expensive aviation equipment such as bombers or helicopters, but not with artillery, which, in all likelihood, the British army is replacing and sells them below their original price.
It seems that we are dealing with an important change of strategy, when practically Albania is a NATO country, and totally surrounded by its allies.
Then why is he arming himself?
The declarations of the heads of the EU, who are afraid of a return of Donald Trump, which could change the strategy of NATO, have caused that all European countries are arming themselves and getting ready for war.
But with whom can Albania have a possible conflict?
We are surrounded by Albanian territories; in Kosovo, Montenegro and North Macedonia, where in all probability that territory is a buffer zone that in case of conflict is the best defense.
The only endangered territory remains the land border with Greece, or even the part of the sea that faces us with a strategic ally, both members of NATO. Greece, on the border with Albania, has a large arsenal of forces that has never diminished.
As learned, from military sources, the British artillery will be placed in the mountain installations of the Labria that are targeting precisely the north of Greece and the coastal border with the southern neighbor.
What is really going on?
Even the unbridled arming of Greece is not a sign, since everything is done for the balance of forces.../ Pamphlet
