Since the end of the Cold War,
Canadian military activity re-emerged in the Arctic region in 2002, indicated
by military operation
and the presence
of Canadian warships.
In 2001, Russia claimed
a region in the Arctic,
which cause the
territorial dispute with
Canada. Russia also released
the maritime doctrine
in 2001, that
emphasize the strengthening
of Russian naval power in the Arctic region. Under the leadership of
Russian president Vladimir Putin,
and also to
Dmitry Medvedev, Russian
has strengthened its
military in the
Arctic by strategic flights,
balistic misille launching,
military exercises, and
with construction and modernization of
Russian Northern Fleet.
Russian’s policy to
strengthen its military
in the Arctic is
a threat to
Canada, so since
2005, Canadian Government
has strengthened its military in the Arctic.
