NATO calls Russia's ability to disable allies across the Atlantic a challenge

He recalled plans announced by Moscow last week to create a new strategic missile-carrying submarine for operations in the Arctic. 

"Russia's ability to disable allied reinforcements across the North Atlantic is a strategic challenge for the North Atlantic Alliance," Stoltenberg said.

Thus, at the international forum "Army-2022" for the first time, a model of the strategic missile submarine cruiser (SSBN) "Arctur", adapted for combat duty in the waters of the Arctic, was demonstrated.

The product is located at the site of the High Command of the Navy.

Navy Commander-in-Chief Admiral Nikolai Evmenov said earlier that the Russian Navy would receive 46 warships and support vessels in 2022.
