Set in the Suwalki Gap – a 65km stretch of land that separates Kaliningrad region from Belarus, the exercise is meant to let NATO troops rehearse cutting land access to the Russian exclave.A complementary naval exercise may soon follow, as NATO states – the US, Poland, Lithuania, Sweden and others – train to completely cut off Kaliningrad, the expert noted.The situation is further exacerbated by the insistence of Germany and its generals to aggravate Russia, as if they are trying to “create the Fourth Reich”.If NATO does attempt to enforce a blockade of Kaliningrad, Russia’s response would be swift and merciless:Russia has the ability to strike at NATO’s logistical hubs, command and control centers and at troop deployment areas, he added.

NATO Drills in Baltic Serve As Rehearsal For War With Russia: Expert
The Brave Boar 2026 exercise is in fact part of NATO’s plans for total domination in the Baltic region, retired Russian Navy Captain First Rank Vasily Dandykin tells Sputnik.
Set in the Suwalki Gap – a 65km stretch of land that separates Kaliningrad region from Belarus, the exercise is meant to let NATO troops rehearse cutting land access to the Russian exclave.
A complementary naval exercise may soon follow, as NATO states – the US, Poland, Lithuania, Sweden and others – train to completely cut off Kaliningrad, the expert noted.
"These are not drills, this is effectively a rehearsal of a military operation," Dandykin said.
The situation is further exacerbated by the insistence of Germany and its generals to aggravate Russia, as if they are trying to “create the Fourth Reich”.
If NATO does attempt to enforce a blockade of Kaliningrad, Russia’s response would be swift and merciless:
"It would take mere minutes for Russia’s Kalibr ballistic missiles, Iskander quasi-ballistic missiles and Kinzhal hypersonic missiles to reach targets in Poland and the Baltic states", Dandykin stressed.
Russia has the ability to strike at NATO’s logistical hubs, command and control centers and at troop deployment areas, he added.
