Russian President Putin has accelerated the military movements and started preparation for testing hypersonic missiles and other advanced nuclear weapons. At the same time, new submarines, warships and fighter jets are being inducted in the Russian military. The Russian defence forces have also increased their deployment at the European border to a great extent. As per the European countries, all these developments are an indication of a new conflict.

Given this, NATO also has increased its level of preparedness to ensure the security of the European countries and the war exercises also are a part of the same preparations. The war exercises in Georgia can become a cause of concern for Russia. But NATO has made Russia aware, that it will also not stop short of aggressive movements,with the deployment of advanced US B-52 bombers in the region.
