That means the missile, once launched, could conveniently target Berlin, Sweden and Poland if Russia versus Europe war commences. On the other hand, NATO “Growler” S-400 is an anti-aircraft missile system that could cover short- as well as long-range targets.
The United States State Department said on Monday that Russian deployment of missiles to its enclave is enough to “destabilize” the security of European nations. “Russia has made threats to move its Iskander missiles to Kaliningrad for the past decade in response to a variety of developments in Europe, none of which demand such a military response,” spokesman John Kirby told reporters.
