Korchunov reminded that this system does not bear any offensive threats.
“as for the appearance of systems s-400 in the Russian Arctic Islands is a logical step after the establishment of continuous radar field over the territory of our country. S-400 system has a purely defensive purpose. Placement – wherever it is – should not cause concern, unless, of course, expressing such concern are not hatching aggressive intentions in respect of the area or object that s-400 is designed to protect”, – the Russian diplomat emphasized.
the Agency notes that the statement of the representative of the Russian foreign Ministry was made on the background of statements of the commander of the U.S. Navy in Europe and Africa Admiral James Foggo, who drew attention to the emergence of new Russian military bases in the Arctic region, which are equipped, among others, and air defense systems s-400.
