Ich habe eine kleine Verständnisfrage. Wie kann man "by gunpoint" übersetzen?

"(...)
Russia's Foreign Ministry says there are "whole segments of the Russian world" that may require Moscow's protection, and has singled out Baltic states by saying that Russia will not tolerate an "offensive" against its language there. (...)"

"And third, Dolgov openly encouraged ethnic Russians and Russian speakers in the Baltic states to become more active, promising that Moscow will support them. While some might be inclined to dismiss this as nothing more than a propagandistic exercise, there are unfortunately compelling reasons to think that it is more than that."

Exercise Watch: NATO spielt Verteidigung Estlands durch

Vladimir Putin's aggression in Ukraine and other intimidating shows of force have created a "very different kind of scenario" for NATO, according to the defense alliance's top commander in Europe. (...) In its latest move to reassure nervous allies that border Russia, NATO leaders met in Germany this week to analyze the results of Exercise Trident Lance 2014. Its training scenario dealt with the hypothetical invasion of NATO member Estonia and included everything from missile strikes to cyber attacks. It was the first NATO exercise of its kind since the end of the Cold War.

The Baltic States Are Not Serious About Defending Themselves
News stories in the West contend that Russia's increasingly aggressive behavior is causing the Baltic states and other NATO members in Eastern Europe to become far more serious about national defense.

Genauso ises ja auch. Die Eurofighter in den Alarmrotten die für das Baltikum zuständig sind, sind nicht einmal bewaffnet. Wäre das eine strengvertrauliche Information, die der Allgemeinheit nicht zur Verfügung steht, wäre die abschreckende Wirkung ja trotzdem noch da, aber dass die Alarmrotten ohne scharfe Munition fliegen, wird selbst auf dem Youtube-Kanal der Bundeswehr gesagt.

Das ist nicht nur eine schlechte Verteidigung, das ist gar keine, sofern im Notfall nicht auf Kamikazeflieger gesetzt wird.

Wo auch immer du deine Informationen her hast bezüglich der Bewaffnung, sie sind einfach falsch.

[Cally]

Ich sehe auch gerade, dass das nicht stimmt. Ich bin mir aber ganz sicher im April oder Mai ein Video der Bundeswehr auf YouTube gesehen zu haben, in dem genau DAS gesagt wurde.
