Do we need refueling ships in Spain?

12
Russian warships of the North fleet, which are now sailing into the Mediterranean, will not call for refueling at the Spanish port of Ceuta. The Ministry of Defense emphasized: initially such an opportunity existed. But the crews of only a few ships were going to use it. And certainly not the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov.

      According to my conservative estimates, it’s not necessary if you go at a speed of 18-20 knots.
      At a speed of 18 knots, Kuzi has a cruising range of 8000 miles. The route must not exceed 6000 miles.
      That is, in places it was even possible to set fire.
      But even if he went at maximum speed (29 knots - 3850 miles), the squadron includes three tankers with fuel oil (the large sea tanker Sergey Osipov, the medium sea tanker Dubna and the tanker Kama,). It should probably be enough for everyone.
      I do not think that the group was sent without proper security, thus putting it in transit dependence on "partners".

        It was a check for lice. Based on the results, it will be possible to draw conclusions

    They probably decided to deflect the blow from the Spaniards .. These NATO "opportunists" will probably also come in handy.

    Need, do not need ... along the way nafig was not needed. Are they empty that went on a hike?
    But to throw a stone into a European swamp ... why not. That's how the dermis rose. So, slowly, we will make our contribution to the collapse of the EU.

    If there is a possibility Th not to refuel? There will be no opportunity - we will think! By the way, it was a good idea to remake the nuclear submarine pr.667 into strategic refueling ...

      Quote: By the way, it was a good idea to remake the nuclear submarine pr.667 into strategic refueling ...

      What is this idea? Submarine tankers have been used since WWII.

        And the idea (if you do not like the word idea, let it be the word idea) is that you do not need to re-design, but use the ready-made hulls of old ships. Here, by the way, there are voluminous compartments of these strategists, as well as ready-made infrastructure, and trained crews ... And a nuclear power plant is another huge plus in ensuring autonomy and, accordingly, radius of action, which would make them, unlike tankers of the 2nd World War strategic ...

    Vaughn and Malta pulled themselves into the OSShI row ... saying that it will not refuel the Russian ships following to Syria (?) .... That's the question ..... And what, someone asked them about it? Do we need it?

      Where in Malta is so much diesel fuel then. She herself is a little more than Kuznetsov. By the way, the Ministry of Defense should be instructed that they wouldn’t go near, otherwise the wave will wash away the fuck this Malta again we will be to blame ...
