 Poland to station Hymars near Russian border US made Hymars rocket launchers will be stationed on the border with Russia's westernmost Kaliningrad region Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak announced the American multiple rocket launchers will be stationed with Poland's 16th Merchandise Division in the northeastern city of Olsztyn Blaszczak revealed during his visit to the region he boasted that Washington had already approved Warsaw's order for 500 more Hymars launchers noting how important they were to the Polish army. Blaszczak also said that Russian President Vladimir Putin was building an evil empire and would attack his neighbors. The deployment of the American weapons on the border was decried as Sabre Rattling by Kaliningrad government spokesman Dmitry Liskov in a comment to TASS. He added that disregarding the clear offensive nature of the Hymars launchers the people of the region are under the protection of the Baltic fleet detachments and Russia's army in general. The build-up of American weapons around Kaliningrad has increased as the Pentagon in December approved $28 billion worth of arms deals with Poland and the Baltic states being the biggest buyers. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Oleg Syromolotov also said in January that the UK had been modeling cyber strikes specifically against the Kaliningrad government. Moscow has continuously warned NATO against increasing their military presence on Russian borders and almost becoming part of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine due to the frequent weapons shipments. Kaliningrad region is Russia's westernmost territory and the headquarters of Russia's Baltic fleet. The region is an exclave not sharing a land border with the rest of Russia and instead flanked by Poland on the west and Lithuania on the east. Formerly East Prussia it was incorporated by the Soviet Union at the end of World War II.
