Thank you for your question, sir.
Russia's long-range aviation command is doing a lot of exercises. The way they exercise their bomber force, which is capable of carrying nuclear and non-nuclear weapons, is to launch from their sovereign territory, head into international waters, and land in the Arctic.
One issue is that they don't announce the exercises and they don't file flight plans. If aircraft come towards our territory and don't announce themselves or file flight plans, it is our responsibility to go and see who's approaching and try to detect what their intention is as they fly towards our land mass. We would go out and inspect less if they would communicate their intentions more and say exactly what they are doing and what their objectives are in doing those numerous flights towards the Canadian Arctic.
