In fact the North-Western operaional-strategic axis has the lowest priority for forming new units or rearming existing units - for example the missile brigade in the area is going to be the last one to switch from Tochka-U to Iskander-M.

And that's why only token NATO forces are deployed. 4,000 men and 80 MBT´s certainly wouldn't stop a Russian invasion. This is just to keep the eastern NATO members happy and isn't nearly enough to make Russia feel threatened and peed off.
