Russia has deployed three new fighters armed with nuclear-capable missiles to its European enclave in a fresh threat to NATO.
The MiG-31 jets landed at Chkalovsk airbase in Kaliningrad - which borders NATO members Poland and Lithuania - on Thursday, Moscow's defence ministry said.
The jets are specially modified MiG-31K variants meaning they can carry Kinzhal or 'Dagger' hypersonic missiles, which can be armed with nuclear warheads and fly at 12 times the speed of sound which Putin says makes them 'unstoppable'.
