Russia may send more of its most advanced missiles to its Kaliningrad region in response to U.S. military deployments on NATO’s eastern flank, a prominent Russian lawmaker said.
Retired General Vladimir Shamanov, who heads the defense committee in the lower house of parliament, said on October 12 that Russia could deploy additional Iskander missile systems in western areas including Kaliningrad, an exclave on the Baltic Sea between Lithuania and Poland.
Shamanov said the move would be a response to the stationing of a U.S. armored brigade in Poland, which he claimed was “categorically forbidden by international agreements.”
