00:11 North Fleet ships have carried out practical fire during air defense exercises
00:17 in the Arctic.
00:18 The Russian Ministry of Defense reported this, a demonstration of unprecedented strength
00:23 in this strategic region.
00:24 In this special report, we dive into the heart of these military maneuvers that arouse
00:30 the attention and concern of the international community.
00:32 These exercises took place as part of operations aimed at strengthening the Russian military
00:38 presence in the Arctic, a region more and more convoyed due to its natural resources
00:42 and its geostrategic position.
00:44 Several North Fleet warships, including the famous 50-lead Pobedy nuclear icebreaker,
00:50 have been mobilized for these maneuvers.
00:52 The Russian Ministry of Defense stressed that these exercises were aimed at testing
00:57 the ability of ships to protect Russian territorial waters in the Arctic against any
01:01 air threat.
01:02 High-speed anti-aircraft defense systems have been used, thus demonstrating Russia's
01:08 determination to secure its interests in this crucial region.
01:11 The Arctic has become a major issue on the international scene, with several
01:16 riverside countries, including Russia, Canada, the United States, Denmark and Norway, claiming
01:22 shares of the Arctic cake due to its hydrocarbon resources and its new navigation routes
01:27 opened by the ice melt.
01:28 This situation has aroused concerns as to a possible escalation of tensions in the
01:34 region.
01:35 Russia claims that its activities in the Arctic are in compliance with international law
01:39 and mainly aims to guarantee the security of its borders.
01:42 However, these massive military exercises have been criticized by other countries, which
01:48 perceive them as a provocation.
01:49 The United States and Canada, for example, have already expressed their concerns about
01:55 Russian military expansion in the Arctic.
01:57 The nuclear dimension of these exercises adds a layer of complexity to the situation.
02:02 The 50-lead Pobedy nuclear icebreaker, one of the ships involved, is the largest
02:08 nuclear icebreaker in the world, capable of breaking the Arctic's thick ice to
02:12 allow navigation throughout the year.
02:14 Its presence during these exercises demonstrates the strategic importance that Russia gives
02:19 to this region.
02:20 In parallel with these military maneuvers, Russia has also strengthened its military
02:25 infrastructures in the Arctic, by building new bases and modernizing the old ones.
02:29 These developments have aroused concerns as to a possible militarization of the region,
02:35 which could further destabilize the situation.
