Britain and NATO are launching their biggest war games on Russia's doorstep amid growing tensions over Russian President Vladimir Putin's military aggression, the Telegraph (British) website reports today (May 5, 2015).
The largest-ever NATO anti-submarine exercise -- including the Royal Navy -- is under way off the coast of Norway just weeks after reports of Russian submarines encroaching into foreign waters.
At the same time, British troops are taking part in the biggest military exercise seen in Estonia since that Baltic nation regained its independence from Soviet Russia more than two decades ago.
The war games come as tensions grow with Russia over its aggression in Ukraine, and fears that the Baltic nations could be next in President Putin's sights for aggression.
