Military exercises in the Bering Strait have frequently seen renewed friction between Russia and the United States, and ＂backyard offensive and defensive warfare＂ has escalated.

CCTV News:The United States and Russia never lack topics! Recently, the Russian army used the nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser "Peter the Great" and a nuclear submarine to hold maritime military exercises in the Bering Strait and launch missiles. The Bering Strait is located between Russia and Alaska, and the situation of "backyard attack and defense" between Russia and the United States is getting worse.

The Bering Strait is located between Russia and Alaska, and the narrowest place is only about 37 kilometers. In the past two months, exercises have been going on here.

The latest one came from Russia. The Russian army used the nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser Peter the Great and a nuclear submarine to hold a maritime military exercise in the Bering Strait and launch missiles.

Just over a month ago, the United States just held a multinational joint military exercise codenamed "Red Flag-Alaska" in Alaska. This military exercise was divided into two sides, and actual combat simulation exercises were conducted, mainly including air interception, emergency target attack and close aviation support. Some public opinion believes that Russia’s intention to challenge the United States this military exercise is obvious.

The Bering Strait connects the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean and is of great military value.

The geographical position of the Arctic is unique, and it is a highland for deploying military strategic weapons and conducting military reconnaissance. As an important military passage connecting the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, the Bering Strait holds the right of entry and exit of military equipment and personnel in this area to a certain extent, and its military strategic value is quite prominent. In recent years, the competition between the United States and Russia in this region has gradually warmed up.

In August this year, two Russian Tu -160 strategic bombers flew over 8,000 kilometers to a city in the easternmost part of the Russian Arctic — — Anadel, it’s across the Bering Strait, opposite Alaska.

It is reported that Russian pilots have been flying continuously for nearly 10 hours without stopping. This is the first time in recent years that a Russian strategic bomber landed in Anadel near the Russian-American border.

Alaska is America’s first line of defense against Russia.

Then on September 1st and 11th, Russia sent two Tu -95 strategic bombers to Alaska. In response to these two cruises, the US military dispatched F-22 fighters for tight surveillance. Alaska is America’s first line of defense against Russia. There are Elmendorf Air Force Base and elson Air Force Base here. Not only the most advanced F-22 fighters of the US military are deployed, but also a large number of F-16 fighters and E-3 early warning aircraft are deployed to deal with Russia.

The strategic position of the Bering Strait is so important, but the number of frictions between the United States and Russia here is relatively less than that in the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea.

Russia and the United States compete in multiple sea areas to upgrade their warships.

9 meters, 3 meters, 1.5 meters, in recent years, the contest between Russia and NATO led by the United States has gradually escalated in several sea areas, and the distance between US and Russian military aircraft and naval aircraft is getting closer and closer.

On the 5th of this month, in the night sky of the Black Sea, a Russian Su -27 fighter plane flew at high speed in front of the EP-3E Aries II electronic reconnaissance plane in the United States. According to American officials, the Su -27 fighter plane flew over the US EP-3E at close range twice. When the second flight was out of date, the Su-27 fighter plane also opened the afterburner during the turn and tilt flight.　

In January this year, the Russian Su -27 and the US EP-3 reconnaissance plane once made a move over the Black Sea. At that time, the closest distance between the Russian Su -27 fighter plane and the intercepted U.S. EP-3E reconnaissance plane was less than 1.52 meters. The high-temperature gas emitted by the engine of the Su -27 fighter plane was directly sprayed on the EP-3E reconnaissance plane, forcing the U.S. reconnaissance plane to end its mission early and return home.

In September this year, in the Mediterranean, due to the still tense situation in Syria, the US Navy’s Burke-class destroyer approached the Russian military exercise area. After the Russian military plane found it, it passed over the US warships at close range.
