Title: The United States strengthens its military layout in the Arctic, and Russia faces a new round of confrontation.
Introduction: The world situation is turbulent, the relationship between the United States and Russia is tense, and the United States' move to strengthen the military layout in the Arctic has attracted attention. Two U.S. B-2 Phantom stealth strategic bombers and two B-1B Lancer bombers recently carried out long-range integration missions at high northern latitudes, a move that almost heralded the full-scale start of a new round of military confrontation between the United States and Russia.
Body: In recent years, the United States has been stepping up military suppression and economic sanctions against Russia. After Biden's defeat of Trump, the Democratic Party continued to actively woo European countries and further deteriorated relations with Russia through various instigations. Recently, the United States has once again escalated its military provocations against Russia, which has attracted the attention of the international community.
According to a report by the United States**, on March 17, the U.S. Air Force formed a formation to carry out a long-range integration mission at high latitudes in the north. Two B-2 Phantom stealth strategic bombers and two B-1B Lancer bombers conducted joint operations off the coast of Iceland. These two strategic bombers almost heralded the full-scale start of a new round of military confrontation between the United States and Russia.
The B-2 Phantom stealth strategic bomber has strong stealth capabilities, making it difficult for most air defense systems in the world to fight. As early as the Kosovo War in 1999, the B-2 Phantom bomber successfully deceived the air defense radar of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and dropped a large number of joint attack ammunition, causing great losses to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
The B-1B Lancer bomber, on the other hand, can carry up to 22 2,000-pound joint attack munitions, as well as anti-ship missiles and air-to-surface missiles, posing a threat to Russia's Northern Fleet in the region, as well as to facilities on land.
However, Russia has also demonstrated its strength. Immediately after the arrival of US strategic bombers in Norway, the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy sent ships to launch a number of anti-ship missiles in the open sea between mainland Norway and an island. The Russian Navy's Northern Fleet is the most powerful of the Russian Navy's four major fleets, with a number of nuclear submarines, cruisers, and dense air defense and anti-missile facilities.
The United States' move to strengthen its military presence in the Arctic means that it has shifted its strategic focus in Europe to the Arctic Circle. However, taking advantage of the Arctic, Russia's traditional sphere of influence, is not an easy task.
Analysts believe that the move of the United States to strengthen the military layout in the Arctic will further deteriorate US-Russian relations and also exacerbate geopolitical tensions. This move shows the United States' military deterrence intentions against Russia, and the Russian side has made it clear that it will take corresponding measures to maintain it
Conclusion: The United States has strengthened its military layout in the Arctic and carried out long-range integration missions at high latitudes in the north, which has attracted the attention of the international community. The joint actions of the B-2 Ghost stealth strategic bomber and the B-1B Lancer bomber almost heralded the full-scale start of a new round of military confrontation between the United States and Russia. The move will further worsen US-Russian relations and exacerbate geopolitical tensions. In the face of US military deterrence, Russia will take corresponding measures to maintain ***
