MOSCOW, May 29. /TASS/. Russia’s Defense Ministry has voiced concerns over the At Sea Demonstration-2015 military drills planned for this autumn that will involve the US and will simulate interception of Russian ballistic missiles.
"The drills will be conducted in the north-eastern part of the Atlantic and this can signal only that there are plans to practise intercepting Russian ballistic missiles. Such drills cannot but concern us," Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov told reporters .
The key goals of the drills, which besides the US will also involve Norway, the UK, Italy, Canada, the Netherlands and France, are to practise joint actions in air defense and antiballistic missile defense, and also the tests of the US SM-3 missile interceptor.
