Thank you very much, General, for your great testimony.
I was listening with great attention, especially when you were talking about the changes in the Russian military doctrine. This is the first time I've heard a witness speak explicitly about the real developments that are happening in the Arctic. I have been speaking for about two years now about these issues and nobody is listening, so thank you very much for your testimony.
You were speaking about how the Russian activities in the Arctic became quite significant. Can you expand on NORAD's Arctic operations? You were speaking about the surveillance, the observation of what is going on, the warning systems, and so on. Are there procedures in place if the intent of our great neighbour in the Arctic really is changing? For example, if you are detecting an enemy aircraft or a missile, are there procedures in place so that you have an answer quite quickly, and also so you not only are detecting the threat coming in, but you have reactions going on to annihilate the threat?
I don't know if you can elaborate on these things, but maybe generally you can. There are certainly other issues that you cannot elaborate on.
