According to the Russian satellite news agency, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on December 5 that the Russian Pacific Fleet "Bunker" shore defense missile system has been deployed on the Kuril Islands' Palamushir Island and has begun to carry out its mission. According to the report, the Russian Ministry of National Defense said: "The Pacific Fleet 'Bunker' shore defense missile system has been deployed on Paramushir Island in the north of the Kuril Islands and has begun to carry out its mission. The Pacific Fleet's coastal missile force will be on duty 24 hours a day to control the adjacent waters and the Strait." According to the satellite news agency, the "Bungalow" shore defense missile system team will start to work on Matua Island in the middle of the Kuril Islands in December 2021. According to CCTV, in September this year, the Russian Ministry of Defense released a video showing that the Russian Pacific Fleet on the island of Matua used the "bastion" shore defense missile system to launch anti-ship missiles at sea targets for the first time to attack hypothetical enemy ships. The Kuril Islands are located between the Kamchatka Peninsula in the far east of Russia and Hokkaido, Japan. The four islands in the south of the archipelago, namely Guohou, Chofu, Tooth Dance and Sedan, are called the South Kuril Islands by Russia and the four northern islands by Japan. After World War II, the four islands were actually controlled by Russia. Russia believes that Japan's request for the return of the four northern islands is a request to redefine the outcome of World War II defeat. Due to the serious dispute, the two countries have not been able to conclude a peace treaty. (Outlook New Times)
