iHLSRussian and North American military officials have held a first planning meeting for next year’s joint anti-terrorism drills involving the Russian, US and Canadian air forces, a Russian Defense Ministry spokesman said Tuesday.
According to RIA Novosti the Vigilant Eagle 2014 drills will take place in August. The drills will practice coordination between the Russian armed forces and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) in the event of a terrorist attack on a passenger airliner, said Lt. Col. Alexander Gordeyev, a spokesman for the Eastern Military District.
The simulated mission will involve the detection, identification and interception of an airplane hijacked by terrorists, Gordeyev said. Russian and NORAD military officials will hold a meeting in the US in February to finalize the scenario and details of the exercises.
Vigilant Eagle 2014 will be the fourth cooperative live-fly air defense exercise between NORAD and the Russian Air Force, based on a 2003 agreement between Moscow and Washington to strengthen their military relationship.
Misspelled “Russia” there in the title. lol
Who are they planning to anti-terrorize next?
Funny how China is not involved in the drill.
Also funny how, once again, we are involved in another drill with Russia when we are supposed to be practically at war with them in the Middle East.
Does anyone else think there are like two Russias or two Americas going on here in two different alternate realities or something? One in the Middle East and one in the Pacific. It never ceases to amaze me of the bizzaro world we are living in and no one in the MSM questions it. I feel like one part of the world is living in a completely different reality than the other part of the world.
I guess the Russians in the Pacific are the good Russians and the Russians in the Middle East are the bad Russians. Similar to that of Al-Qaeda. I guess Russia thinks the same way about us.
Who knows. I’m always completely confused on this and no one in the MSM nor any of my former co-workers could give me a straight answer. It’s absolutely mind-boggling.
Many years ago someone told me that bad Russians lived just about everywhere in Russia…except Vladavostok, where good Russians lived…the Dr. Zhivago Effect…..
