Report: Pentagon to Put Heavy Weaponry in Eastern Europe 
---------------------------------------------------------


 
The Pentagon is set to store heavy weaponry including tanks in Eastern
Europe for the first time since the end of the Cold War. The New York
Times reports the plan would see enough weaponry for as many as 5,000
soldiers stored across several countries, from Estonia to Bulgaria and
Poland. It's seen as a deterrent to potential Russian aggression amid
the conflict in Ukraine. The plan still requires approval from the White
House and Defense Secretary Ashton Carter.
