The Russian Air Force and NORAD, the US and Canadian joint air defense command, will hold a second round of anti-terrorism exercises this month.
“The main aim of the drills is to improve the Russian Air Force’s and NORAD’s capabilities for fighting terrorism in the air,” Igor Muginov, the Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern military district, said on Monday.
The Aug. 8-11 exercises will include airborne early warning and control (AWACS) and refueling aircraft, and combat aircraft.
The first Russian-NORAD joint anti-terrorism drills, dubbed Vigilant Eagle, took place in 2010.
