[RusOnline] The American military reacted very strangely to the recent maneuvers of strategic bombers of the Russian Aerospace Forces near the US borders, analysts from China say.
In the publication of the Chinese edition of NetEase it is said that Russia has decided to give a decisive response to the provocations of the American military at its borders.
Moscow for a very long time turned a blind eye to the audacious antics of its opponents, but its patience ran out. Several days ago, the Russian Aerospace Forces sortied several Tu-95MS strategic bombers, sending them to the waters of the Bering Sea near the US borders, PolitRussia reports.
The unexpected reaction of the Pentagon to the maneuvers of Russian aircraft off the coast of Alaska raised questions from the Chinese.
According to experts, Washington did nothing to drive the Russians out of their "backyard." It is possible that the American military was taken by surprise, so they simply did not have time to raise their fighters to intercept. “What the world community did not expect at all was the Pentagon's reaction.
After the Russian planes approached the US territory, the US military did not take any retaliatory action, ”the article says. It is noted that the Russian counterattack turned out to be really effective, and the United States experienced a deafening failure. The Pentagon was not ready for such decisive action on the part of the opponent.
Earlier it was reported that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation records the growing activity of the strategic aviation of the US Air Force near the borders of the state. It is known that the Russian Armed Forces are currently in a high degree of combat readiness and are strengthening the defenses in the Arctic region, reports RT.
