New satellite images show Russia upgrading four of its military installations in Kaliningrad, where is disconnected from the rest of Russia but is on Nato's doorstep.
Although it was unclear until earlier this year, but now the satellite imagery and analysis confirmed that Russia has significantly modernized a nuclear weapons storage bunker. A set of images shows the upgrade in a base which received nuclear-capable missiles in February. Russia may started it since 2016.
The place has been a focal point between Russia and the West. It is important for Russia because it is their port on the Baltic sea. However, NATO concerns that Russia's presence might decrease its potential freedom to operate the region. Tensions between them have been at highs not seen since the Cold War.
