Kremlin claims NATO increased the number of high-precision strategic weapons near Russian borders
NATO countries, especially the USA are building up their military activities near Russian borders and deploying high-precision, strategic weapons systems, said Admiral Vladimir Korolyov, Commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy, reported the RBC.
Korolyov said the Russian Fleet’s development plans will be implemented next year, considering “the deployment of missile defense systems, strategic non-nuclear systems of high-precisions weapons, and military infrastructure facilities in the adjacent waters of Russia.”
“In this regard, in 2019, the Navy General Command’s efforts will be focused on further creating and developing new combat capabilities that are balanced in their composition and capable of integrating with other armed forces to ensure strategic nuclear and non-nuclear deterrence and protection of the national interests of Russia,” the Admiral said.
Korolyov claims that Russia now positions its fleet in the most important areas of the world “to prevent any threats from oceans and seas.”
