General Nikolai Makarov, of the Russian Armed Forces confirmed reports today that the Russian Armed Forces have deployed Missile Defense assets to the Russian far east border with North Korea and this move was to counter and engage any missiles that North Korea may launch that might suffer mishaps that could cause them to pose a potential risk of falling into the territory or Russia. Among the systems deployed is the S-400 air defense system that is one of Russia’s current most advanced air defense systems. This move also indicates an increasing unease by Russia on the actions of the neighboring country of North Korea.
