Russian military says the air forces of Russia, the United States and Canada will hold their second round of anti-terrorism drills from the 8th of this month. Russia's commander in chief of the eastern military district, Mr. Igor Muginov, on Monday said Russian Air Force will cooperate with the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), the joint air defence command of U.S. and Canada, in improving their capabilities to fight terrorism in the air. He said the three-day exercises will strengthen working relationships and promote joint detection, tracking, identification, interception and escorting of aircraft that trespass national airspace. The drills will involve AWACS surveillance planes, refueling aircraft and combat planes from both sides. The first Russian-NORAD joint anti-terror drills, dubbed Vigilant Eagle, took place in 2010.
