Russian bombers fired off an attack on the Norwegian radar
The topic of Russia's accusations of what it is doing within its territory has long become a trend among countries within the NATO bloc.
European media have reported that Norwegian intelligence chief Lieutenant General Morten Haga Lund, speaking in Oslo to members of the military community, said that Russian airborne forces simulated an attack on the Norwegian radar Globus II near the city of Verde.
According to the Norwegian general, in February 2018, an imitation of the attack was carried out by Russian Su-24 aircraft in the amount of 11 units, which are based on one of the airfields not far from Murmansk.
The scout said that Russian aircraft carried out an attack on the radar without entering the airspace of Norway, and then returned to their airfield.
He also noted that such “exercises” are held by Russian pilots annually, and 2017 was no exception.
I don’t want to upset the Norwegian intelligence officer, but Russia has the right to use its airspace as it sees fit. This can be not only an imitation of an air attack on the Norwegian radar, but also an imitation of a nuclear strike on the territory of Norway.
After all, Norway, at one time, considered it possible, having stepped over the opinion of Russia, to place a radar near its borders, which could soon become part of the American missile defense system.
