  3.  @Reichsritter  The Germans were short on other equipment during the NATO drill. The broom antidote was just the funny part.

  5.  @titanlord9267  Newsweek "The exercise took place in Norway and was carried out by NATO's Rapid Response Force (NRF), a high readiness multinational force which is supposed to be capable of deployment at short notice. The battalion reportedly involved in the broomstick incident was the Panzergrenadierbataillon 371 - which is training as part of an even more high ready "Spearhead" force for the NRF, formed in response to the war in Ukraine. There were also reports that 41% of the battalion's soldiers didn't have the pistols they would need for a rapid deployment, with other equipment shortages including MG3 machine guns and night vision goggles."
