According to the minister, for the European Alliance it will be necessary to damage its own defense capability. It will be very important for NATO to undergo another test in response to these exercises, notes Fallon.
Fallon is confident that we should not rule out a variant of a new escalation of the conflict on the Ukrainian-Russian-Belarusian border, since 100 thousand Russian military personnel will take part in the exercises.
Possible variants of violation of the airspace of the Baltic States by the Russian Air Force.
Poland also responded to the exercise "West-2017" strengthening the defense of its borders for the period from September 14.
As reported in the "URA-Inform", the leadership of the military-political block of NATO will send several observers to the Russian-Belarusian military exercises.
