"Growing Concern: Russia's Military Buildup on NATO Borders"

Estonia's Foreign Intelligence Service warns that Russia is likely planning to double its forces on NATO borders, creating a new corps of up to 45,000 troops at NATO's northern borders in northern Europe, with the 44th Army Corps likely based near the Finnish border. The report also indicates that Russia is undergoing significant military reform, and if successful, NATO could face a Soviet-style mass army in the next decade. This military buildup poses a major concern to the alliance, particularly after the inclusion of Finland in NATO, which added 800 miles of NATO border with Russia.
