Russia's Navy will equip its Baltic Fleet with high-precision weapons over Polish plans to station U.S. Patriot missiles closer to the Russian border, a high-ranking source in the Navy said on Thursday.

"Primarily, surface, underwater and air components of the Baltic Fleet will be reinforced," the source said.

He added that new corvette class warships with long-range high-precision cruise missiles on board would join the fleet.

The Russian naval spokesman's statement came a day after Poland announced plans to deploy a battery of U.S. Patriot missiles just 100 kilometers (60 miles) from the Russian border.

2. Over missiles in Poland? Guess what, Russia has been planning the upgrade of their
fleet for some time. Nothing new here, but spin.
