Kaliningrad is a historical rarity. This piece of land which was called Königsberg until 1945, ended up becoming a kind of Russian island in the middle of the European Union. A small semi-exclave surrounded on land, sea, and air by NATO territories but which has nevertheless become Russia's largest military base and the spearhead of Vladimir Putin's policy of pressure on Europe.
Nearly 20,000 soldiers, an entire fleet, almost 200 warplanes, and helicopters and more than 800 tanks form just one part of its huge war inventory. Even more dangerously, since 2014 Russia has deployed its powerful Iskander missiles on this territory. Tactical missiles with nuclear capability and whose launch systems are capable of attacking simultaneously with 32 such missiles in a single salvo.
In other words, Putin could launch dozens of nuclear warheads from Kaliningrad against NATO positions that would barely have time to react. The Iskander missiles are considered one of the critical systems in Russia's powerful nuclear deterrent arsenal. And now, for the first time in decades, such systems are deployed in the heart of Europe.
