News website: The United States intends to flex its muscles in an area it has neglected recently

News website Business Insider wrote that the United States is trying to restore its military capabilities in the Arctic region to confront Russia and China.

He said: “After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent expansion of counter-insurgency operations in the Middle East, the army found itself preoccupied and its skills in the Arctic deteriorated. Now (US) forces hope to regain their Arctic muscles that atrophied more than 20 years ago. This move reflects "Growing concerns about the activity of Russia and China, which want to expand their access to the Arctic."

According to the site's information, the United States has once again begun investing in creating forces capable of participating in combat operations in cold conditions with the aim of increasing its presence to make it sufficient to deter conflicts.

She stated that military exercises recently took place in Alaska, which lasted for two weeks, in which 8,000 soldiers from the 11th US Airborne Division and international allies and partners of the United States participated.

Earlier, NBC News quoted Eric Levesque, one of the founders of the information and analysis company Strider Intelligence, as saying that Russia is likely to be ten years or more ahead of the United States in developing the Arctic.
