#Briefing #Rudskoy: Activity of the #US forces and their allies near the Russian borders has increased sharply. This April, a flight of #B1B strategic bomber was carried out near Kamchatka, and in May five such flights were recorded, one of which – in Ukraine – for the 1st time
#Briefing #Rudskoy: In all cases, our #AirDefence systems detected strategic bombers in a timely manner, established continuous monitoring and implemented measures to prevent incidents. Anti-aircraft missiles were also ready for immediate action
#Briefing #Rudskoy: @NATO& #39;s activities are becoming more active in the #Arctic. For the 1st time since the end of the #ColdWar, on the eve of the 75th anniversary of the Victory over Nazi Germany, warships of the united naval forces of NATO held exercises in the Sea of Barents
#Briefing #Rudskoy: They included 3 #US #DDGdestroyers, which are the basis of the maritime component of the European segment of the global US missile defence system, as well as a universal supply transport of the #USNavy and the #BritishNavy& #39;s DDG frigate
#Briefing #Rudskoy: During the exercise, the tasks of hitting objects on the territory of the Russian Federation and intercepting Russian ballistic missiles were worked out
#Briefing #Rudskoy: We regard such actions as provocative, despite the fact that the #US side has notified these ships in the Sea of Barents in the shortest possible time
