World War 3 preparation: Russia moves HUGE missile defences onto North Korea border

RUSSIA has moved gnarly defence systems onto the North Korea border as World War 3 fears reach boiling point on the Korean peninsula.

Russia has reacted to North Korea’s 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-un’s nuclear programme, but Russia accused the US of antagonising the rogue state.

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?
