Russian Navy conducts massive drills in Pacific before Biden-Putin meeting: report
Fox News
The Russian Navy has been conducting military exercises about 300 to 500 miles west of Hawaii prompting the U.S. on Sunday to scramble F-22s to respond to long-range bombers, a report said.
The U.S. Pacific Fleet and the Defense Department did not immediately respond to an after-hours email inquiry from Fox News. The exercises come just as President Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin plan to meet on Wednesday during the highly anticipated summit in Geneva. The Russian Defense Ministry said the drills involved "up to 20 surface combatants, submarines and support vessels."More Related News
