Geoeconomics: CIA Chief Ratcliffe in the Kremlin – the Secret Warning to Putin
A few days ago, an exercise took place next to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. With military capabilities that are only shown if you want to tell the other side something. A guest post.
In recent days, NATO conducted a large military exercise near Russia's Kaliningrad exclave, which came as a surprise to many. The exercise was not heavily publicized, with no grand announcements or dramatization. Instead, NATO simply and professionally conveyed the message: Standard. Normal. Routine. However, the package of this exercise was far from ordinary routine.
It was a highly complex air-ground maneuver being showcased directly adjacent to the Russian Kaliningrad exclave. Advanced NATO aircraft performed precise, tight turns near the Kaliningrad border, visible to Russian air defense systems and analysts within Russian forces and intelligence. Equipped with transponders, these flights were visible to the entire world.
This was not just an exercise; it was a clear, unmistakable message. At the center of the operation was the new American aircraft EA-37B Compass Call, a technologically advanced platform for electronic warfare. It can disrupt communication, blind radars, and shut down control systems for air defense systems and missiles. With the Compass Call, NATO demonstrated what it could do in Kaliningrad if necessary.
