[quote:>S<:MV8zNjIyMjU3XzY0NjcyOTY5XzkzRUZGQTYx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 75407393:MV8zNjIyMjU3XzY0NjcyOTUzXzU4MTc0MEJD] I could add that each of those Army groups has an Iskander brigade attached, and they will certainly have a role in Zapad 17, and a brigade may very well be flown into Kaliningrad for the exercise. Each Iskander brigade has between 12-18 tactical nuclear warheads. So that is up to 72 tactical nuclear weapons available for a first strike against NATO forward positions. [/quote] Good times ahead.

On the move are the 1st Guards Tank Army, the 20th Army, the 6th Army, the 11th Army Corp in Kaliningrad, the Belarus Army and most of the VDV airborne.
That's 2 tank divisions, 3 motorized divisions, 3 airborne divisions and 13 brigades. About 130,000 combat troops with 1,500 tanks and 70,000 support troops.
