In Norway, announced the development of the Russian Aerospace Force strike on its radar
Morten Haga Lunde, Director of the Norwegian Intelligence Service, reported that Russian aircraft simulated an attack on a military radar stationed at the border.
Speaking to members of the military community in Oslo, Lieutenant General Morten Haga Lunde said that on February 14 last year, 11 Russian Su-24s flew from the airfield in Monchegorsk in the Murmansk region, flew to the Barents Sea and simulated an attack on a military radar in the area populated Verde Point. After that, they, without crossing the state border, turned back, reports the Barents Observer.
Lunde recalled that last March he told the same story about how Russian aircraft rehearsed the attack on the radar on March 24, 2017. However, the difference, according to him, in the number of aircraft. If in 2017, according to his estimates, nine aircraft were involved in such maneuvers, then this time - 11.
The general noted that Russian rhetoric against Norway has become tougher. “And there are no signals that Russia's relations with the West will improve this year,” said Lunde.
In the city of Verde, on the shores of the Barents Sea, is the American Globus II radar, which should in theory track the flight of Russian ballistic missiles. According to the Barents Observer, Russia has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with the fact of the presence of the radar, fearing that it could become part of the US missile defense system on the very border with the Kola Peninsula.
