北約展開自冷戰以來最大規模軍事演習大綱
About 50,000 NATO personnel from 31 NATO and partner countries are springing to action Thursday at the start of the alliance's Trident Juncture exercise, its largest drills since the end of the Cold War.
The massive exercise takes place in and around Norway and involves about 65 ships, 250 aircraft and 10,000 vehicles.
演習在挪威及其周邊地區進行，有大約65艘船隻、250架飛機和10,000輛車參加。NATO's Command Senior Enlisted Leader for Allied Command Operations, Command Sgt. Maj. Davor Petek, told VOA in an exclusive interview that the large-scaled defensive games send a "very simple message."
北約盟軍作戰司令部指揮官Davor Petek少校在接受美國之音獨家採訪中表示，這次大型防守性演習發出了一個"非常簡單的信息"。
"We are ready, and we are capable to meet any possible security threat coming to our NATO borders," he said. "Nobody's willing to mess with an alliance that has so much potential, so much capability."
他說，"我們已做好準備，我們有能力應對任何對北約邊境的安全威脅，"他說， "沒有人會願意給擁有如此大的潛力和能力的聯盟惹麻煩。"NATO said the drills are not an act of aggression, and the exercise's commander said the alliance has invited Russia to observe.
北約表示，這次演習不是侵略行爲，演習指揮官稱北約邀請俄羅斯作爲觀察員參加。"I'm happy that we have observers because they're going to see that we're very good at what we do. And that will have a deterrent effect on anybody who wants to cross those borders, but one nation in particular," U.S. Navy Adm. James Foggo, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Europe and NATO's Allied Joint Force Command Naples, told reporters at the Pentagon earlier this month.
美國海軍歐洲司令部及那不勒斯盟軍聯合部隊司令部司令、海軍上將詹姆斯·福格戈本月早些時候在五角大樓告訴記者說："我很高興我們請了觀察員，因爲他們會看到我們非常擅長我們的工作。這將對任何想跨越這些邊界的人，特別是某個國家，產生威懾作用。"The exercise comes with Russia and the West still bitterly divided over Russia's illegal annexation of Ukraine's Crimea peninsula, with some NATO countries worried Moscow may try to encroach on their sovereign land.
俄羅斯和西方世界仍然對俄羅斯非法吞併烏克蘭克里米亞半島一事存在嚴重分歧，一些北約國家擔心莫斯科可能會試圖侵佔他們的主權領土。Trident Juncture is expected to run through Nov. 7.
"三叉戟2018"演習預計將持續到11月7日。
