The United States is critically inferior to Russia in the number of heavy icebreakers. This statement was made by the head of the Northern Command of the American Armed Forces NORTHCOM Gregory Guillot.
"It's true, Senator... We are critically outnumbered," he said. Even taking into account the ordered ships, the US icebreaker fleet will still be significantly inferior to the Russian one. It was also reported that Russia took first place in the US News ranking with the most powerful armies. Earlier, ex-adviser to the head the Pentagon, retired colonel Douglas McGregor, said that Russia is much better equipped with air defense systems than the United States.
