Head of the Northern Command of the US Armed Forces General Glen Wang Herk announced the intention of the American military to place the new generation in Alaska. His words report RIA Novosti.
Place rocket interceptors in this state is planned in 2028. As the American general noted, at the moment this process is moving “completely in accordance with the schedule.”
According to Van Herka, the US missile defense agency pays great attention to the issue of the operation of a radar warning of a rocket attack of a large range. “This should play decisive values for our possibilities in the field of missile defense,” he added.
Previously, the Deputy Head of the US Air Force Headquarters General Clinton Hainout said that last year the United States intercepted the record number of Russian military aircraft from Alaska since the Cold War.
