how Putin could attack NATO forces in a chaotic and brutal war mapped an
interactive map produced by a u.s. think tank has given a terrifying glimpse of
how a conflict between Russia and the West could play out as tensions between
Putin and London soar tensions are rising in Europe in the wake of
allegations that President Vladimir Putin's regime was responsible for a
nerve gas attack on double agent Sergey scribal and daughter Yulia which left
both fighting for their lives in Salisbury and the map published by the
washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies offers a
timely reminder of the risks should things escalate the map reveals the
ranges of various Russian land attack air defense and naval strike weapons
close to its borders with vast numbers of weapons located in Kaliningrad the
Russian enclaves sandwiched between Lithuania and Poland it demonstrates how
the Baltic states Lithuania Latvia and Estonia are all well within range of
Russia's Eskander and ballistic missiles which carry devastating 1 comma 500
pound high-explosive warheads these weapons are also capable of reaching
hundreds of miles into Poland with NATO's strategically important base at
saggin just within reach points of reference for naval weapons are fixed in
these would obviously vary in the case of a real conflict with NATO the map
details the range of the Alliance's land attack naval weapons and air defenses
together with the location of key ports of demarcation x' pots where it could
land reinforcements by air and sea in 2014 a series of simulations undertaken
by the us-based research & development corporation Brend concluded that as
things stand nato was incapable of defending the Baltic States in the event
of a military conflict the war games suggested that in such circumstances the
longest it would take Russian forces to reach Tallinn in Riga the capitals of
Estonia and Latvia respectively was 60 hours
an article by analyst Robert Beck Heusen on the nad onal interest ork website
concluded in the event of a military conflict over the Baltic States Russian
missiles in Kaliningrad could target NATO troops heading from Poland that
could slow reinforcements were Russia to invade Latvia Lithuania and Estonia the
Baltics would need those NATO reinforcements to have a chance slim as
it would be to stop a vastly more numerous Russian army mr. Beck Heusen
added air defenses ring russia's western periphery s 300 and s 400 anti-aircraft
missiles cover half of poland and overlap in concentric circles over the
Baltic States requiring NATO to neutralize these sites during a conflict
before its aircraft could provide cover for Lithuania Latvia and Estonia but the
map also displays Russia's clear vulnerabilities NATO warships with
Tomahawk missiles could easily reach Russia's biggest cities and strike the
center of government power from considerable distance away in short a
war would be chaotic brutal and terrible thanks for watch please share like
