NATO to give Russia early warning
NATO members Norway, Poland and Turkey are to set up a radar system which will give Russia early warning about possible threats from abroad. In return, Russia will provide NATO with information of similar possible threats against NATO.
A spokesman for the Polish defence department says the headquarter for the new radar system will be located in Warsaw.
According to the Polish newspaper Dziennik, the new radar network will gather information from the three nations' radar stations and inform Russia about possible threats from the air.
