US conducts ‘provocative’ Arctic missile test aimed at Russia
Link: https://www.rt.com/russia/566300-us-arctic-missile-test/
The US military tested an experimental cruise missile launch system above the Arctic Circle on Wednesday. The commander in charge of the test called it a deliberately “provocative” move aimed at deterring Russia. | The operation involved dropping a long-range cruise missile from a Special Operations C-130 transport aircraft, with parachutes slowing its descent until its rocket motor blasted it toward a target. The deployment system – called ‘Rapid Dragon’ by the military – was developed by the US Air Force, and Wednesday marked its first demonstration in Europe. ● The choice of Norway’s Andoya Space Range for the launch was deliberate. Located around two degrees north of the Arctic Circle, the range sits at the far western edge of a region of military and economic importance to Russia. 💬 The test “puts this thing within range of Russia. We are intentionally trying to be provocative without being escalatory,” operation lead Lt. Col. Lawrence Melnicoff told the US military’s Stripes outlet. “We’re trying to deter Russian aggression, [and] expansionist behavior, by showing enhanced capabilities of the [NATO] allies.”
[Editor: The US is not trying to "deter" Russian "aggression". The US is doing all it can to get a war going. Simple as that. No use listening to Pentagon's lies. More fun listening to what the readers are saying about stuff like this. Here are just some of their comments:]
💬 "These A-holes cannot help themselves, they always gotta be stirring the pot. One of these days Putin is going to lose his cool." + "Cursed Devil never rest its damned self from creating mischiefs." + "From Pax Americana to Pest Americana?" + "Seems to me, that's a lot of tax payers money, just for one rocket!" + "To be honest Russia and China need to destroy America. First China destroys the economy by dumping all Americas debt and completely dump the dollar Take Tiwan back and then both country's destroy all Americas military and get the middle east to not give them oil. That should end any threat from the US ever again. The eu have already killed them selves so no threat from them." + "So the whosa can continue to provoke and antagonize other countries with nothing to be heard from the other muppet countries who scream when NK tests a missile in it's own region...."
