No less important is its military and strategic importance, as the Northern sea route allows for inter-theater maneuver between the Northern and Pacific fleets. At the same time, due to its vast length and uninhabitability of the nearby territories, the Northern sea route is very vulnerable militarily, which can be used by a potential enemy of Russia in case of international relations aggravation in the Arctic, the violation of this route inflicts a heavy blow to the logistics of Maritime transport in the North.
