“the Forces and means of the black sea fleet have begun to monitor the activities of the permanent mine countermeasure group forces primary involvement of NATO as part of a floating supply base “Aliakmon” Greek Navy (flagship), minesweepers seekers min “Tambre” of the Spanish Navy, “Gaeta”, the Italian Navy, who visited 7 July 2020 in the Black sea”, – has informed the correspondent “RG” in the Ministry of defence.
In the language of naval commanders such campaigns are called diplomatically a demonstration of naval flag. Experts on international security to speak out more frankly: NATO is again trying to exert psychological pressure on our country. But at the same time carry out electronic reconnaissance from the Russian coast.
In what direction will the radars of NATO ships are easy to guess. It is the coast of the Crimea. Early Western admirals at least tried to disguise his interest in the Peninsula and neighboring Ukrainian territory participation in naval exercises. Now even do not. For example, when in these waters be American ships in the U.S. their appearance is explained by the fact that the black sea fleet sent to “maintain peace and stability in the region.”
a sly wording by the Americans was covered whenever sent their military in various peace – whether in the Persian Gulf, the Adriatic coast of Yugoslavia or the Black sea. It ships United States and NATO are constantly appearing. Destroyer “Ramag”, the flagship of the 6th fleet “mount doom”, the destroyer “Donald cook”, the frigate “Taylor” missile cruiser “Vella Gulf” – this is not a complete list of military units of the naval forces of the United States, entered the Black sea in recent years. “The increased presence of the U.S. Navy in Europe allows us to work with our allies and partners to increase the preparedness of naval forces capable of maintaining security in the region”, – say the Americans.
What this all often ends in well known events in the former Yugoslavia. In 1999, to restore there the “world” NATO members, including, was sent to the Adriatic the aircraft carrier three, six percussion submarines, two cruisers, seven destroyers, 13 frigates and four large landing ships. In the course of combat operations, the Americans fired on Yugoslav territory 218 cruise missiles of sea basing. And the American cruiser “Gonzalez” massively ironed Serbian towns and villages a powerful “Tomahawk”.
by the way, these missiles are also on Board other ships. Not casually the command of the 6th fleet of the USA in the characterization of their ships indicated that they are able to conduct exercises with one or more participants to support NATO operations and to deploy anywhere in the region. In addition to the winged “Tomahawk”, say, to��of asera USA equipped with anti-submarine missiles ASROC, as well as interceptor missiles SM-3, combat information and control system “aegis” for their guidance, powerful air defense, artillery and torpedo armament.
it is Unlikely that NATO members will dare to use all that power against the ships of our black sea fleet. Direct military confrontation between fleets, of course, should not wait. The black sea fleet in Crimea for a long time a reliable missile defense, and the flagship of the black sea fleet missile cruiser “Moskva” will instantly react to any provocation by NATO. This ship is not accidentally called the West “the killer of aircraft carriers”. 16 anti-ship complexes “Volcano” is able to put on the bottom not something that one ship but a whole group of ships.
However, remain indifferent to other people’s flags in the Black sea in Russia, of course, will not. The Ministry of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation will certainly assess the presence of warships nachimovsky countries within the Montreux Convention. The document in 1936 he established the mode of finding ships in the Black sea. For warships of non-black sea powers provided for significant restrictions on class and tonnage. Their total tonnage in the Black sea should not exceed 30 thousand tons, and the duration of their stay is limited to 21 days.
According to the Montreux Convention, such ships should leave the coast in three weeks. To trace the duration of their stay in the region – it is superfluous. Wrong water NATO members, as a rule, to leave in a hurry and not to delay using any excuse.
as for psychological pressure, and our military have an excellent command of these weapons. Suffice it to recall how a few years ago the crew of the Russian plane su-24 hard nerves of the team of the American destroyer “Donald cook”. The Russian pilots for about half an hour maneuvered around the ship, sometimes decreasing over the Board up to 150 meters. In principle, it is normal practice, with the aim to open the ship’s air defense system. The Americans, of course, called flying provocative, what then for a long time trumpeted in the Western media.
