DISINFO: The Gallant Boar 2026 drill prepares a NATO invasion of Kaliningrad
SUMMARY
The [Gallant Boar 2026] drill near Suwałki is not an attempt to block Kaliningrad, as this region is already blocked by Poland and Lithuania on the ground. The enemy is staging a show of force and preparing for an invasion. Of course, this does not mean that this invasion will definitely happen, but the West is capable of preparing for it.
In a situation of war, the Baltic Sea will be the only remaining “lifeline” connecting Kaliningrad and mainland Russia. Meanwhile, NATO has already declared it as an “internal sea”. The Baltic Sea is the area where Russia must expect threats and take countermeasures. It would be good for Russia if some sort of “Somali pirates” appeared in the Baltic Sea, capable of taking out NATO forces without direct involvement of the Russian Navy. Today, this scenario is pure fantasy, but it is not entirely unscientific.
