Russia has reacted to North Koreas increased nuclear and ballistic missile testing and has moved to the border.
Vladimir Putin has sent missile attack defences to its border with North Korea.
President Trump reached out to the Kremlin to do more to help put a stop to Kim Jong-uns nuclear programme, but Russia accused the US of antagonising the rogue state.
In the footage, the huge systems can be seen being unveiled on the border with North Korea
Alexei Morokov, Commander of Air Defence regiment, said: Regular S-400 air-defence complex is entering into service and putting on alert towards the Primorsky direction, where it will be fully staffed by the newest anti-aircraft system.
Personnel of the regiment have made the big way since first training.
The Triumph missile-defence system can detect objects from up to 600km away and engage a target at 400km.
The new defence systems are aimed at destroying aircrafts, ground targets and ballistic and cruise missiles.

Seems like a good place to defend with a missile system.

Or does Trump back down now that his bluff has been called?
