HUNDREDS of British troops will come face-to-face with Russia's nuclear weapons when Vladimir Putin completes the transfer of a terrifying arsenal of missiles to an enclave deep inside Europe. Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon warned on Sunday the world was seeing "a much more aggressive Russia".

He said: "We hoped Russia would become a partner to us in the West, but clearly Russia has decided to be a competitor.
Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon warned on Sunday the world was seeing "a much more aggressive Russia".

Moscow has confirmed the army is moving the nuclear-capable Iskander-M missiles into Kaliningrad - bordering Poland and Lithuania.

At the same time, 650 British troops are being deployed to eastern Europe to repel Russia's expanding dominance in the region.

The Kremlin said in a statement they were being stationed in the Russian enclave "as part of military training of the Russian armed forces".

The move is being interpreted in the West as a retaliation to increased activity by NATO along the border with Russia.

Lithuania, neighbouring Kaliningrad and a member of NATO, has said the government will protest to Moscow, while Germany and Poland are also expected to react angrily to the missile deployment, particularly as the Iskander can hit targets 450 miles away, putting the German capital Berlin in range.

NATO is readying a fast-reaction force of several thousands troops in the east of Europe alongside Britain's commitment to an additional 650 soldiers.


you're right about the paper, though.....sleee zeeee
