The USA is concerned about the regular teachings of the Russian Northern Fleet in the Barents Sea. At the same time, the modernization of Russian troops becomes a serious problem for Washington. This was written by the commentator The National Interest Mark Episkopos (Mark Episkopos).
In this regard, he recalled the words of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who had previously expressed the legality of Russian activity in the Arctic. The Foreign Minister stressed that the country itself has the right to choose the safety measures of its own borders.
In addition, among the Russian weapons, episcopos has specially allocated hypersonic missiles “Zircon”. He also called the surface ships included in the Northern Fleet, the most powerful in Russia.
In April, CNN TV channel stated that Russia allegedly enhances an unprecedented military presence and experiencing the latest weapons in the Arctic. The publication has published satellite images, from which it follows that Russia strengthens the airfields and military bases on the Arctic coast, and also tightens military equipment and fighters to the region. In the material it is argued that Russia has two goals: to protect the north of the country and launch northern seaside shipping.
