Army General Yury Yakubov, a coordinator from the Russian Defense Ministry’s general inspectors directorate, was responding to reports that the United States Department of Defense is planning to concentrate US heavy military hardware near Russian borders.
"If US heavy hardware including tanks, artillery systems, or other fighting vehicles does appear in some Eastern European and Baltic countries, this would mark the Pentagon and NATO's most aggressive step since the Cold War time of the past century,” he said on Monday.
“And Russia won't have anything else to do but bolster its forces and resources on the Western strategic theater of operations," the official noted.
Yakubov said the response would be initialized by the reinforcement the forces along Russia’s western border.
