Russia plans 'Arctic Air Defence" with S-400 missiles
By EUobserver
Russia plans to create an air defence 'dome' across its polar region by arming all of its Northern Fleet's Arctic divisions with S-400 missile batteries, a Russian naval commander said on Russian TV. In September Russia already deployed its S-400 air defence systems to the Novaya Zemlya archipelago in the far north. "This means that the Arctic will be protected from any kind of enemy aerial attack" he said.
