Russia & China Probe Arctic Defenses, NORAD Prepares
•
U.S. Air Force General Gregory Guillot, head of NORAD, reports increased coordinated air and sea activities by Russia and China near North America, particularly in the Arctic. This seems to be a test of U.S. and Canadian defenses without violating airspace. NORAD has tracked multiple Russian military planes in the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone and observed larger groups of ships in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea. Canada also spotted a Chinese research vessel in Arctic waters off Alaska for the second consecutive year. Guillot is optimistic about NORADs ability to handle these challenges, discussing potential integration of the Trump administrations Golden Dome missile defense system with Canada. Additionally, the U.S. and Canada are successfully testing counter-drone systems in Arctic conditions and developing a micro nuclear reactor for remote Arctic bases to address energy issues.
