NATO Holds Biggest military exercises Since Cold War with 90,000 Troops, faces
Russian Backlash
Jan 21, 2024, 04:10PM ISTSource: TOI.in
In a pointed response to NATO's announcement of the Steadfast Defender 2024
exercises, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister, Alexander Grushko, has vehemently
criticized the military maneuvers, indicating heightened tensions on the global
stage. Grushko contends that the scale of these exercises marks an "irrevocable
return" to Cold War strategies, setting the stage for a geopolitical clash. The
exercises, involving approximately 90,000 troops, are designed by NATO to rehearse
scenarios where U.S. troops reinforce European allies in countries bordering Russia
and respond to potential conflicts on the alliance's eastern flank. The
participation encompasses a formidable array, including over 50 ships, 80 fighter
jets, helicopters, drones, and a substantial number of combat vehicles. These
drills aim to implement NATO's regional defense plans, the first of their kind in
decades, outlining responses to potential Russian threats. The critique from Russia
underscores the broader geopolitical confrontation, particularly in the context of
the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. NATO's strategic document
identifies Russia as a primary and direct security threat, reflecting the
escalating concerns surrounding regional security.
