This is reported by Deutsche Welle.

As noted, Russia, whose border runs 100 kilometers from the coast of Alaska, is making military efforts.

According to Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Moscow is dramatically increasing its armed forces in the Arctic. For example, in April of this year, there were five "provocative" incidents involving Russian four-engine bombers, the senator said..

"As for Russia, we should demonstrate solidarity with it, but also force," he said..



Also in the opinion of Dan Sullivan, in these conditions the US should deploy more troops in Alaska, as well as new icebreakers. At the same time, he stressed that at the moment, another 15 Russian icebreakers are under construction.

It should be noted that Russia's military presence in the Arctic has reached an unprecedented scale since the end of the Cold War.

Recall, as reported by URA-Inform, earlier two CF-18 airliners were raised in connection with the approach to its and the airspace of Alaska two Russian bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons TU-95.
