Russians would be attempting an amphibious crossing over the Narva River in that area if they were making a go. Only a pair of bridges existing, one a rail bridge and another from Ivanogorod onto Narva the only bridge suitable for vehicles.
I’m sure that the Estonians will have drones up looking for any signs of bridging equipment being hidden a few ons from the border.
The Germans/Estonians held Narva for months and months the last time the Soviets/Russians tried to move into this area.

Water crossing, I hear they are tough.
Important note.

Lots of talk about Russia being up to something!
Hearing talk of them positioning and will move after the US mid terms.
I read something yesterday about multi prong coordinated attack:
Russia -> Baltics
NK -> SK
China -> Taiwan
Line that up with activating sleeper cells and cartels that have already permeated our countries and city's and you would cripple the west for a very long time... Ever ?
But that's A LOT of coordination... And coordination to keep secret.
Invest wisely, hard times are coming.

Unless Poland is threatened with complete nuclear destruction, I don’t see how don’t go into Kaliningrad and Belarus. The size of their army right now would be move then enough of a match to undertake both of ventures. The would free up the Ukrainians northern flank and allow to use those extra troops to push the Russians hard elsewhere. I also would see Transnistria being eliminated once and for all.
The Russians would have to threaten a full nuclear attack in order for them to pull off an attack on the Baltics.

Are you proposing Poland unilaterally invade Kaliningrad now ? Or are you proposing it as a response to the scenario above ?
If those three powers did coordinate all three moves, I do not think we (NATO and the West) could respond to all three.

If the Russian moved on the Baltic, crossed the frontier, Poland would not sit on their hands.
Unless the Russians threatened complete Nuclear War if attacked in return, I am of the belief that the Europeans and what US troops are already in Europe, would be more than capable of defending and removing the Russians from any territorial gains inside the Baltics.
The US would have to deal with NK and China with whatever Allies they could gather in those areas.
It looks like the US has run down their AD stocks so low that Taiwan would be the most vulnerable.
All 3 adversaries are nuclear armed and all 3 would be going up against non-nuclear defenders, outside of the US. The writing should be on the wall for all to see that the nuclear club is going to grow, it’s just a question of how big and how comes out first.
