US moves soldiers to Alaska island amid fears of Russian military
Daily MailAn increase in Russian military planes and vessels near American territory has pressured the US to relocate 130 soldiers along with mobile rocket launchers to a desolate island in Alaska. Eight Russian military planes and four navy vessels - including two submarines - have come close to the 'last frontier' in the past week as Russia and China have conducted joint military drills, beginning on September 10. The North American Aerospace Defense Command tracked and detected Russian military planes operating off Alaska over a four-day span with two planes each day beginning on September 11. The U.S. Coast Guard said Sunday its homeland security vessel - the 418-foot Stratton - was on routine patrol in the Chukchi Sea when it tracked four Russian Federation Navy vessels about 60 miles northwest of Point Hope, Alaska.
