During the Southern Strike exercise in Mississippi, US Army officers conducted an airstrike using weapons similar to Russia's Thor and Osa air defense missile systems.
According to Defense Blog, such exercises help the military hone skills that were forgotten after the end of the Cold War. The portal notes that in recent years, America's adversaries have developed modern weapons, ammunition and technologies with great destructive capabilities.
Defense Blog added that, stemming from the increased tension in relations with Russia, "today, the US armed forces are shifting their focus to preparing for conflicts with major powers"./.
