Chinese experts make the assumption that the Pentagon plans to create a bridgehead on the Scandinavian peninsula to combat Russia.
Our western neighbor, the Kingdom of Norway, despite the long-standing membership in NATO, for many years was against the placement on their territory of foreign military bases. Reports "Political Springs".
The Chinese Military Experts of the SOHU edition note the fact that recently representatives of the US Armed Forces have increasingly become in Norway. Based on this, Chinese experts make the assumption that the Pentagon plans to create a bridgehead on the Scandinavian peninsula to combat Russia.
Not so long ago at the Norwegian military base near Trondheim B-1 bombers are difficult to call modern aircraft. In many ways, TTX are inferior to the Russian Tu-160 "White Swan". However, if we take into account the geographical location of Norway and its proximity to the most important databases of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Federation, then there is a well-founded assumption about the intentions of the Pentagon to create a trap on the northern borders of the Russian Federation. If necessary, Lancer bombers may make it difficult to enter the Atlantic to Russian ships.
"The reaction of Moscow on the decision of the Oslo to place on its air base American bombers B-1B was rather uncomfortable for opponents,"
For the arrival of American bombers to Norway, Russia responded with adequate measures. Several strategic bombers Tu-160 were flying over the waters of the North Atlantic. Thus, Russia has provided psychological pressure on its Western opponents. And by all, it was not limited to, in the future there were more cardinal measures.
In addition to the restoration of the old Soviet military airfields for the polar circle, the construction of new take-off areas began. They can be used by MIG-31 fighters and bombers. Thus, the air base of Orland, where American B-1 will be based, it turns out to be a far-safe place for the US Air Force. SOHU experts believe that the North Atlantic and the Arctic become for the American military and their allies with a source of big problems. Moreover, the strategic moves undertaken by them only worsen the situation in these regions.
