Military.com: Russia Is Testing US Military for Weaknesses Amid Pandemic, General Says

Russia is testing whether the U.S. military has developed any weaknesses during the novel coronavirus crisis, a top general said, noting three run-ins with that country's planes over a two-month period.

"We just want to make it very clear to them ... there are no vulnerabilities as a result of COVID-19," Air Force Gen. Terrence J. O'Shaughnessy, head of U.S. Northern Command, told reporters Tuesday. "We are postured and maintain that ability to respond at a moment's notice."

There is "no degradation in our ability to defend the homeland," O'Shaughnessy added.
