And that same month, a Chinese spy balloon\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/chinas-spy-balloon-unidentified-objects-shot-down-what-we-know-so-far\/\">was detected<\/a>\u00a0near Alaska before eventually making its way across the continental U.S. and being shot down off the coast of South Carolina.\u00a0<br>Military activity by the U.S., Canada, Russia and China has also ramped up in the Arctic. Just days ago, Moscow said it&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/russia-fighter-jets-intercept-us-b-52h-bombers-barents-sea-arctic\/\">scrambled fighter jets<\/a>&nbsp;to intercept two U.S. military long-range bomber aircraft that approached the Russian border over the Barents Sea in the Arctic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russia has&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/russia-arctic-military-presence-ukraine-war-nears-two-year-mark\/\">ramped up<\/a>&nbsp;military operations in the Arctic Circle, including tests of advanced&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/north-korea-tests-hypersonic-missile-south-korea-says\/\">hypersonic missiles<\/a>. Earlier this month, Canada&#8217;s defense ministry said it plans to acquire&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/v\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">12 new submarines<\/a>&nbsp;capable of traveling under sea ice to bolster the defense of the country&#8217;s vast Arctic coastal region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/u-s-navy-readiness-as-china-builds-up-naval-force-threatens-taiwan-60-minutes-transcript-2023-07-02\/\">expanded its own underwater fleet<\/a>, and Russian submarines continue to collect intelligence in Arctic waters, the Canadian defense ministry said. \u00a0<br>Reprinted from CBS News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. military intercepted several Russian and Chine [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4435,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[4228,1063,1766],"class_list":["post-4434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-usa","tag-bombers","tag-chinese","tag-russian"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.0 -
