For example, satellite images from May 2025 show the Russian base in Kaliningrad, where nuclear weapons can be stored. In recent years, the base has been undergoing development and modernisation.
New buildings, a triple fence and new equipment have appeared on the territory. According to the Polish government, about 100 tactical nuclear weapons are stored in Kaliningrad.
At the "Asipovichy" base in Belarus, the Soviet nuclear weapons storage facility is also being updated, including a new loading platform for rail transport and air defence.
New buildings have also been spotted at the Novaya Zemlya base, which experts call a key Russian nuclear test site.
On the Kola Peninsula, which borders Finland and Norway, about 50 warehouses-bunkers for ballistic missiles used from submarines have been built. A special pier for loading missiles onto submarines has also been spotted.
Swedish Defence Minister Paul Johnson said that the country is closely monitoring the situation.
"We are aware of this, and we have been following it for a long time. We are talking about Russian investments in nuclear capabilities and the implementation of the new doctrine," he said.
