It may well act as an effective deterrence against Russian aggression against its neighbors. Look at what happened to non-Nato Ukraine.

Ramstein's Role in the US Drone War
DER SPIEGEL
According to classified documents seen by SPIEGEL and The Intercept, Ramstein -. the largest United States military base on foreign soil -- is involved in virtually every US Air Force drone attack.
The documents originate from US intelligence sources and are classified as "top secret". This diagram shows how the US government structures the deployment of drones. The drones are controlled from the Creech Air Force Base in Nevada, but those communications are routed using an undersea cable to the Ramstein Air Base in Germany, where they are then transmitted via satellite directly to the combat drones.
It was already alleged two years ago that the data for all US drone deployments is routed through the Ramstein military base. The base as well as the satellite relay station used in the drone attacks are pictured in this Google Earth illustration.

US A-10s will perform low-level flights in Russia's backyard - Business Insider
According to the information released by the Latvian Ministry of Defense, NATO air assets, namely the A-10 Thunderbolts deployed as a part of the Theater Security Package, are going to use the country’s airspace to conduct low-level flying.
The release issued by the Latvian authorities asks the public not to be worried about the low-flying Hogs.
The missions are going to take place only on specific, agreed dates and times, starting from Jun. 8, 2015.
The low-level flying is to be carried out outside the firing ranges – this is the reason why the event is so unusual. It was said that the training’s purpose is to maintain and refine the pilots’ skills and combat readiness.
All the information pertaining the operations are going to be available on the Internet. It was already said that the sorties would take place in seven districts, namely: Rūjiena, Smiltene, Aluksne – Gulbene, Balvi – Vilani, Madona – Plavinas, Jēkabpils and Preiļi – Līvāni.
