NATO country orders tactical radios

Posted on by

ROCHESTER, N.Y., March 26 (UPI) -- An unidentified country belonging to NATO has ordered secure tactical radios for its military from the Harris Corporation of the United States.

The order is worth $25 million, Harris said, but no details were given as to the number of units to be supplied or their delivery schedule.

Harris Corporation said it will provide the customer with two variants of its Falcon III communications systems -- Falcon III AN/PRC-117G manpack and AN/PRC-152A handheld radios. Both feature the company's adaptive networking wideband waveform, which enables military forces to leverage advanced battle management applications such as collaborative chat, streaming video and intelligence collection.

"Harris' field-proven Falcon III products and systems continue to meet the growing demands for wideband data and tactical networking in countries around the world," said Brendan O'Connell, president, Tactical Communications, Harris RF Communications. "Our radios seamlessly connect NATO and allied forces by making it easier to securely exchange voice, data and situational awareness, even while on the move."

NATO Chief Dismisses Latest Russian Allegations as More Propaganda

Posted on by

The head of NATO is dismissing the latest allegations by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who accused the West of trying to undermine his rule and destabilize his country.

Its just another example of the type of propaganda that Russia is doing in many different frameworks, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told VOA during an interview in Washington.

The truth is what NATO does is a response to the aggressive actions we have seen by Russia in Ukraine, he said. We are doing that in a defensive and proportionate way, totally in line with all our international obligations.

Stoltenberg also called on Russia to lower tensions by meeting its obligations under the February Minsk Agreement, which he insisted was still the best basis for finding a peaceful solution to the conflict in Ukraine despite numerous violations.

The NATO Secretary General also criticized Russia for holding what he described as a pattern of snap military exercises, increasing tensions across Europe.

For us it is important to avoid situations, misunderstandings, accidents that spiral out of control, Stoltenberg said. And a large number of snap exercises is not contributing to stability.

Earlier Thursday, Putin told top security officials with Russias Federal Security Service (FSB) it was imperative to counter Western efforts to weaken Russia.

The situation will change for the better not because we will always be giving in, bending, or talking baby talk with someone, Mr. Putin said.

Russia and Ukraine signed the Minsk Agreement in February following months of fighting in eastern Ukraine between Ukrainian forces and Russian-backed separatists.

Still, a NATO military official told VOA earlier this week that Russian troops, including special forces, continue to operate in Eastern Ukraine.

NATO Chief Backs Slower US Exit From Afghanistan

Posted on by

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has applauded the U.S. decision to slow down its military withdrawal from Afghanistan, while rejecting the notion that ties between the alliance and Washington have become strained.

I welcome the flexibility which is now shown by the United States and President [Barack] Obama, Stoltenberg told VOA during an exclusive interview Thursday in Washington. That just once again confirms and shows the strong commitment the United States and NATO have when it comes to supporting the Afghans.

Obama announced the change in plans Tuesday, saying the 9,800 American troops stationed in Afghanistan would remain there until the end of the year. Earlier plans called for the number of troops to be cut almost in half.

Stoltenberg said the change would have an impact on NATO, which has maintained a presence in Afghanistan through Operation Resolute Support. That program aims to provide training and assistance for Afghan security forces.

We went into Afghanistan together and we are going to leave Afghanistan together when it comes to the current military presence, Stoltenberg said, promising NATO would continue to support Afghanistan and help fund the countrys security forces.

Despite coming to Washington to meet with officials and congressional leaders, Stoltenberg did not meet with Obama, raising concerns about the relationship between NATO and the Obama administration.

Stoltenberg downplayed any possible strains, citing excellent, very good cooperation between NATO as an organization and the United States.

The United States has once again proved that they are a strong, committed ally, he said.

Stoltenberg did meet Thursday with Obama's national security adviser, Susan Rice, who conveyed Obama's invitation to visit in May.

Rice meets with NATO chief, one day after reported Obama snub

Posted on by

National Security Advisor Susan Rice met Thursday with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, one day after President Obama reportedly snubbed the alliance chief after he requested a meeting.

The two discussed transatlantic security issues, progress on commitments from the 2014 Wales Summit, and plans for the next NATO Summit in 2016, the White House said in a statement Thursday afternoon.

Bloomberg View reported Tuesday that Stoltenberg's office requested a meeting with Obama in advance of his scheduled visit to Washington this week, but did not receive any response from the White House. Instead, Bloomberg View reported that Stoltenberg had to settle for a last-minute meeting with Defense Secretary Ashton Carter.

The White House on Wednesday dismissed the report about the snub as inaccurate.

"Those reports are entirely false," Press Secretary Josh Earnest said.

Rice conveyed Obama's invitation to meet with Stoltenberg in May, the statement said.
