It is reported that the United States will send two nuclear aircraft carriers to conduct joint exercises with three aircraft carriers from Britain, France and Italy. The location of the exercise was in the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and other seas.
Shortly after NATO announced the exercise, the Russian Ministry of Defense mentioned in a statement that the Russian military sent two Tu-160 strategic bombers to conduct routine flights in the Barents Sea and other areas. In addition, in response to NATO's military provocations, Russia brought out a second card. A nuclear-powered icebreaker from the Russian side was officially launched. Speaking about such ships, Putin stressed their "strategic" importance.
