Moscow Threatens Response to NATO Military Buildup in High North
Russia’s Foreign Ministry has declared that the deployment of a US Navy containerized missile launcher in Norway has become a focus for Russian strategic deterrence forces. The statement, issued by spokesperson Maria Zakharova, claims that the deployment destabilizes European security and negates the conditions for a strategic stability dialogue with the United States. The US Navy launcher was delivered to Trondheim as part of Operation Atlantic City 26, a NATO exercise in the High North. The development was first reported by AeroTime.
