Moscow will take into account the upcoming transfer of US nuclear-capable F-35 fighter jets to the United Kingdom, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told RIA Novosti on the sidelines of the Eurasian Economic Forum.
He noted that the move in Russia is considered for trying to increase pressure, and in general there is an increase in the number and scope of NATO exercises, even in the coming months.
“All necessary military-technical measures will be taken,” Grushko said, adding that the steps NATO will be factored into operational plans for military planning and troop training.
Earlier it was announced that US F-35A aircraft capable of carrying nuclear weapons would be based in the UK.
