RT: NATO jets have changed war-game tactics, now routinely simulate MISSILE STRIKES against Russia – Defense Minister Shoigu

The air forces of the US-led NATO military bloc have not only boosted their surveillance activities along Russia’s borders, but are now also increasingly training for potential strikes on the country’s soil.

That's according to Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu. Speaking on national TV on Sunday, he noted a sharp uptick in foreign surveillance and training flights testing the country's borders and air defenses. Last month, such activities increased by some 30 percent compared to August 2019.

Moreover, the bloc’s aircraft have been actively training to conduct air strikes, routinely performing mock missile launches on targets within the country, Shoigu revealed.
