The US and NATO don't like the "domination" of the Russian Federation in the Arctic. In particular, the Northern sea route belongs to Russia. Arctic waters will become an important tool for rapid deployment of the armed forces if the period and wetlands possible operation of vessels increased.
In this regard, the United States launched a program of the Arctic weapons and develops military aircraft, ships, and submarines for operations in the far North. The budget for 2017 includes funds to complete the designing the new American icebreaker. The construction should begin in 2020. It is also planned the additional commercial vessels for the Arctic.
The US not only declared this region a zone of its vital interests, but also divided Arctic region into "military zones of responsibility". There is a military base of the United States in Greenland for more than half a century. At the end of last year the armored vehicles were placed in the area Daggers in Alaska. It is planned to place the F-35 in Alaska. The US Navy is negotiating to place the anti-submarine aircraft in Iceland.
In addition, NATO is conducting joint maneuvers in the region. In March 2016 Ice exercises – 2016 have been conducted under the auspices of the U.S. Navy in the Arctic Ocean. The UK, Canada and Norway took participation in it. About 200 soldiers, two nuclear submarines, two Autonomous apparatus, drones and satellites were involved in the Beaufort Sea maneuvers. During the exercise one of the submarines broke through the ice and appeared on the surface of the ice. Last year the large-scale exercises of fighter aviation of the armies of Europe and the United States held in the North of Europe.
While NATO is trying to impose the North Atlantic Alliance the logic of joint operations in the Arctic region.
Moreover, since Sweden and Finland not part of NATO, it is proposed that cooperating with NATO military sub block of the Northern powers, whose task, according to the Americans, will "look out for polar bears and Russians".
Thus, in recent years, NATO is active in the Arctic region, creating military infrastructure, threatening the national interests of Russia, that she was forced to react.
For the Russian Federation in the defense against the Arctic is extremely important, because through the Arctic coast have access to nearly all parts of the country, many of which are of exceptional importance for the existence of Russia as a civilization and as a nation. Therefore, the restoration of Russia's military presence in the Arctic, which is very intensively for the last few years, is warranted and necessary. The goal is to show neighboring countries that the Russian sector of the Arctic belong to the Russian Federation not only from the point of view of international law that Russia has its military potential in the Arctic, to repel the aggressor, which must not go unpunished.
Thus, reliable protection of Russia from the Arctic areas makes it almost impossible to start against her large-scale military conflict.
