The US military doesn't have the icebreakers to compete in the Arctic and is 'severely outnumbered' by Russia, commander warns

• The US is falling behind Russia in the number of icebreaker ships available for Arctic operations.
• NORTHCOM commander Gen. Guillot warns of limited maneuverability in the region due to an icebreaker 'gap.'
• Amid growing foreign threats, the US has been increasingly investing in Arctic training.

The US does not have enough icebreaker ships to compete in the Arctic the way Russia can with its much larger fleet, a US military commander warned.
