Provocations by the alliance and the US have legitimately prompted a response from the Kremlin. According to Chinese analysts from Sohu, the Pentagon was spooked by the appearance of Russian strategic bombers off the coast of Alaska
The publication stresses that NATO’s arrogance in the Black Sea has been repeatedly condemned by Vladimir Putin personally, but that Western colleagues have not heeded the warning about “red lines”. Hence Moscow’s logical response followed.
“Continuous provocations by the US and other Western countries angered Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Moscow ended up giving a harsh response”, – analysts wrote.
Two Tu-95MS bombers of the Russian Air Force, escorted by Su-35 fighters, conducted manoeuvres near the US state borders. It is noted that the Russian planes flew just ten kilometres from the Alaskan border.
Military experts previously speculated that the strategic bombers could be practising a conditional plan to destroy the largest US base with nuclear weapons.
