The Russian embassy in the United States called it extremely dangerous to regional stability.
According to TASS, with reference to the main headquarters of the Estonian Defence Forces, members of the 41st Field Artillery Brigade of the U.S. Army in Europe will conduct combat firing from the MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) at the Estonian Defence Forces central firing range in Tap.
“On Monday, the 41st U.S. Army Field Artillery Brigade in Europe will present and demonstrate the MLRS system. They will also integrate aiming and aiming exercises”, – it was reported.
The Russian embassy in the USA stated earlier that the Russian Federation considers these joint exercises in Estonia with the U.S. Armed Forces using multiple rocket launchers provocative and extremely dangerous for regional stability. Diplomats underlined that these maneuvers are conducted in close proximity to Russian borders – 110 km. Russia has repeatedly suggested that the U.S. and its allies limit their training activities and move away from the “line of contact” between Russia and NATO, the embassy said.
