The arrival of the missiles to the 115 air defense brigade have made this unit twice as powerful as it was before. The nearness of the missiles to the Polish border has given rise for concern since Poland’s troublesome eastern neighbour, Belarus, has received a very modern and powerful defense tool. snip

In line with the declaration last year made by the Russian defence ministry on modernization of the Belrus armed forces the deployment of the missiles completes the arrangement. The issue which in Poland can be speculated on is whether this country is in possession of equally modern equipment.

And according to reports Poland has no such powerful anti ballistic missiles. Thus the deployment of the S-300 on the Polish Belarus border is a challenge to Poland, says military expert Wojciech Luczak.

The range of the missiles reaches far beyond the Polish capital and they are good enough to destroy almost everything flying over Poland. In declarations the Belarus armed forces officials say that it is purely a defense system but in case of any crisis it can destroy the AWAX planes flying over Poland as part of the NATO air defense system.

Perfect timing too. Dr. D is regularly in Poland, Russia, India, and China. Should I worry? I know the answer.

4. Russia fears a powerful European military force like NATO

They fear any power emerging from Europe that can project itself onto Russia. In the last 200 years, Russia has been assaulted by Napoleon and Adolf Hitler, and they'll be damned if they're invaded again for some reason in the next 100 years from the same corridor. They are not interested in making it three for three.
