To the shores of Syria, sent to the Russian patrol ship "Sharp"

The watchful ship of the Black Sea goes to the Syrian port of Tartus fleet Of Russia. Safety of the “Shrewd” during passage of straits and stops at ports is ensured by a special anti-terror group from the marine brigade of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

Last weekend the ship left Sevastopol and headed for the Bosphorus and Dardanelles. It is reported that the ship will perform tasks off the coast of Syria. It should be noted that the logistics center of the Russian Navy is located in Tartus.

Earlier, the captain of the 1 rank, Vyacheslav Trukhachev, head of the information department of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, reported that "Sharp-witted" was heading for the Mediterranean.

Trukhachev noted that according to the cruise plan, the crew of the ship will perform tasks in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. During the long voyage, which takes place in the framework of international maritime activities, calls for foreign ports are planned for the “Sharp”.

Earlier, Russian warships, including one aircraft-carrying cruiser, arrived in the Syrian port of Tartus. The Syrian media called the entry of the Russian ships "an act of solidarity" of Moscow with Damascus.

In December last year, a group of ships headed by the Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov, headed by the aircraft carrier cruiser, set off on a long voyage. To date, the North Sea sailors are successfully engaged in solving problems as part of the inter-fleet grouping in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

I am glad that our ships began to go more and more on long trips. Nothing to forget our flag! Seven feet under the keel!

Greetings, Vladimir. Despite the numerous tales of heroism, for example, of the very same British Moreman, they are not our opponents. But, the presence of our watchdog also demonstrates to all enemies the unflagging attention of Russia to the situation in Syria. And then, something NATO has flashed and quietly conducts some foul preparation.

The Black Sea Fleet patrol ship Smetlivy recently left Sevastopol and headed for long-term military service in the Mediterranean Sea. During it, it is planned to replenish stocks at the PB of the Russian Navy in Tartus (Syria) and conduct exercises off the Syrian coast ... It is obvious that Russia continues to demonstrate its support for Assad with available means. 13:32, April 2, 2012 Russian Navy ship headed for the shores of Syria The Russian Black Sea Fleet patrol ship Smetlivy, which last weekend headed for the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, will carry out tasks near the shores of Syria, a military-diplomatic source said.

I am especially pleased that this time we went without a tug

[fktrctqxbr]

Not funny! () () () ()

[sazhka0]

Well, almost an aircraft carrier .. And what is he going to do there ?? Show Flag?

[Sergh]

Maybe some small weapons in the holds are lucky for the Syrians.

[sergo0000]

sazhka0,
Our flag in the Mediterranean is not so small! Even if nothing of the cargo for Syria and the base is on board. Our flag is our presence in this region!

No, well, when ours will begin to adequately respond to the situation.

Our military base is there, ...is.
It must be protected ... necessary.
Drive 2 good boats and a barge with additional BK .......and that was
And say: "In order not to damage expensive equipment and classy specialists, we will shoot down everything within a radius of 100 km." you never know what can fly by mistake. Amer will resent, remind them of Grenada.

[fktrctqxbr]

Amer can be indignant, only in a rag. And for everything else they are not entitled.

[YARY]

The fact that at least something was sent is already not bad! (although THAT was sent as an excuse for irony) after all, loshars do not eat bread beyond the hill.
And the lads are seven feet, good luck!


PS If this is just the beginning, it will do. And to the lads from MP, my special greetings and wishes will return without loss!

[viktor_ui]

YARYY - "The fact that at least something was sent is already not bad!" ... causes an ambivalent feeling ... and agreement (in the sense that at least it is mutilated) ... and he is very old, at least burst "(although THAT sent, a reason for irony) ... to represent the interests of Russia in terms of supporting Syria is pathetic, but in terms of chasing pirates it seems just right. I agree with you.
If you want to morally support with show-offs, then you could send the bark Sedov.

[Bashkaus]

Here is the USA - a real pirate!

[YARY]

On the Black Sea (which on the old maps even of the British Empire is called the "Russian Sea"), there is a fleet. The fleet is not weak, there is an MP. It was possible to send a more serious group with Assad to be the same and agree on supply (in his interests). And when on the abeam of Tartus something like "Glory" loomed and in a company like "Azov" MRK, then "Sharp-witted" would come to court.
Then the seriousness of intent would be clear completely!

[Alexander Romanov]

Our fleet today, when the amers are not bored, must be there constantly. On the one hand, this is a demonstration of the flag, and with an arc feeling the support from Russia, this will support the fighting spirit of the Syrian soldiers! It is important in my opinion

[Odinplys]

The Russian flag off the coast of Syria ... Everything is worthy in the framework of international relations ...
Yes, and the Syrians .. feel ... some kind of support ...

[Veter]

Quote: OdinPlys

Yes, and the Syrians .. feel ... some kind of support ...

What kind of support? ONE (!) Ship against the whole US fleet and their sixes from NATE. At least the connection of ships, as a whole fleet at most !!!!

[Bashkaus]

Once in the middle of the earth during the Soviet era, our ship began to "fight" with the American connection, well, the amers broadcast to ours, I am the captain of such an aircraft carrier, the 6th US fleet is behind me, like make way. And ours replies to him "I am the captain of such and such a patrol" I am alone in the mid-terrestrial sea, but I have all the power of the nuclear forces of the Soviet Union ... Unfortunately I do not remember what kind of ship was and what kind of captain.

[Veter]

Bashkaus
Well then a bike, a joke

[Bashkaus]

Well, I don’t know, this was shown once in a documentary)))

[Vanek]

The Russian flag at sea is good.

Guys, there’s a question. There is our tanker in Tartus, yes. Remember the versions and talk about it? What kind of tanker, what is in it, well, etc. etc.

Here's how they boil up when the "smart" will go there?

[limon]

Pretty boy!!!

[TRex]

Once upon a time, a squadron was kept in the Mediterranean and no one blundered. The guys in military service until nine - eleven months went ...
The ship is of course old and the armament is rather weak - for pirates - enough above the roof.
I would like to quickly see in the Black Sea Fleet new, modern corvettes, destroyers, etc. etc., to snap as it should ... if that ...

[Alexander Romanov]

You misunderstood the wind, what is it about, and there is only one ship, but there is a country like Russia behind the ship. The Syrians understand this, and even more so the Amers!

[Veter]

Quote: Alexander Romanov

but behind the ship is a country like Russia.

Why are the amers dragging their fleet all over the world, one corvette would float, because behind "him" is a country like the United States, but no, because the power is felt when looking at more than one ship, even though the country is behind it.

[Bashkaus]

As you say, the United States will not impress us with its fleets, 20 minutes of serious conversation and these ships have nowhere to return, we understand that this is just the case when one unit represents all the power of Russia. But a gop-stop by a large company to take away ice cream from the kids (like attacking Iraq, Yugoslavia, Libya) - that’s it.

[Veter]

Quote: Bashkaus

Who is this us?

20 minutes of serious conversation and these ships have nowhere to return

????? Apparently an atomic strike on the bases of the US Navy? Why 20 minutes? In this case, where will our ships return?

Quote: Bashkaus

unit represents all the power of Russia

You seriously believe that our Navy = US Navy ??

[Bashkaus]

You yourself answered your own question.
We are referring to the Russian Federation, of which I personally am a citizen (I can show my passport)
And so:
????? Apparently an atomic strike on the bases of the US Navy? Why 20 minutes? In this case, where will our ships return?
1 For what purposes to strike, engage in the General Staff, they know better.
2 Why 20m? estimated time of flight of the rocket.
3 Will our ships return to where is not the most important question, although the answer suggests that there really is nowhere to return
Thank God, Russia still has a nuclear shield that guarantees mutual destruction, and thereby abolishes any kind of aggression against the existence of the Russian Federation. Thus, the last punt with the Veterok motor and the Andreevsky banner on it as a unit of the navy, given the political will, is capable of reflecting the interests of the state as a whole. And then we read the doctrine of the use of nuclear weapons and everything else and think, more precisely, the Americans think what to do with this punt. So, as you can see, at a certain disposition, the US Navy really does not play any role.

[Veter]

Quote: Bashkaus

Us-refers to the Russian Federation

No wonder the military of the Russian Federation are concerned about the state of our fleet and are trying to strengthen it, rather than hiding behind a nuclear shield, unlike civilians.

Quote: Bashkaus

What are the goals to strike at the General Staff

Quote: Bashkaus

Will our ships not return where is the most important question

Thank God you are not serving in the General Staff.

a nuclear shield that guarantees mutual destruction,

In the same situation, the Russian fleet.

I want to believe that this is the beginning.
But something tells me that window dressing

against the backdrop of the collapse of the fleet as a whole, that they say everything is calm, you can continue to saw and roll away
Here in this I sincerely wanted to make a mistake

[APASUS]

Not a guard there, but a real AUG!

[TRex]

But where can I get her? Rent? Leasing
There was nothing left in the region except Tartus ...
If it weren’t for anyone ... if someone, maybe other airdrome bases had ...

But tell me, ARASUS, why did they abandon Cam Ranh and Cuba? Was there really no dough in the country so much that the state abandoned such "trump" points?

[altman]

I think that it’s not too late to return .. Kubu for sure .. the question is what will be there .. I mean the ships ..

[APASUS]

Quote: TRex

But tell me, ARASUS, why did they abandon Cam Ranh and Cuba? Was there really no dough in the country so much that the state abandoned such "trump" points?

It is practically impossible to answer such questions. How to answer the question of why they cut a tank stand at the Kirov plant for metal or how did the traitor get to his post like Gorbachev ??? And there are hundreds of such questions ..........

[Goga]

Colleagues, the Americans are dragging around all the oceans in full combat gear, because they are trying to fight here and there. Russia is clearly not interested in getting involved in the war, and in order to "emerge" the patrol will be enough. Well, there is a boat on the roadstead in Tarsus, who dares to fire at this port? And God forbid you hook the boat? It is even difficult to calculate the "turnover" (and it is not at all necessary a military one, the Russian Federation is able, at least economically, to ruin Europe), so next to this "funny" boat, hardly anyone will have a desire to shoot.

[sergo0000]

Goga,
+100500 Igor! That's what I wanted to say! Plus moral support!

[Veter]

Goga do not tell my sneakers. What to designate when such a “designation” makes others laugh, to say the least. Well, yes, to maintain our own importance, there will be shouts from across the ocean that a Marine division is sailing on 1 boat and everyone seems to be afraid. I repeat once again, to demonstrate the strength of the flag, the number of ships must be different from the number 1 and better by several times.

Quote: Gogh

And God forbid you hook the boat? It is difficult to even calculate the "turnover"

Yes, no one will cling to it, because it doesn’t really bother him.

[Goga]

Veter - Colleague, I can’t say how competent your slippers are, but even finding a simple supply vessel - a tanker - in the port of Tarsus raised such a squeal of Europeans and Americans - it was nice to listen. The point is not the real strength of the ship, I repeat, getting involved in an armed conflict is clearly not in Russia's interests, the point is that this is just a sign - we are there ...

[Marat]

[quote = Goga], the bottom line is that this is just a sign - we are close ...
Goga said well! Even if we are still weak and cannot, like the USSR, cover up our friends "in full" - but the fact that Russia at least shows solidarity is worth a lot. Syrian soldiers and officers fighting the bandits will at least see that they are not alone - that there is someone in addition to Iran who sympathizes with them at least morally support

The Chinese bastards of course - they could at least send a boat to Iran and Syria besides diplomatic support

[Alexander Romanov]

Gog about shooting you are right, and about getting involved in the war when we wanted to? Europe and their ilk are constantly slammed in .... oh, and Russia is raking

[Goga]

Alexander Romanov - Colleague, you are right, historically Russia regularly cleans out (as a rule with a lot of blood) the shit in which Europe gets stuck. But there is experience, and now there is absolutely no need to get involved in a meat grinder. There are other methods - the Ministry of Foreign Affairs works brilliantly, the same naval "demonstrations" of the flag near the Syrian shores, the convoys of the Ministry of Emergency Situations (how many have they brought there?) Here it is not a "gift" that is important, attention is important.

[Spartach]

Good day to all. I'm new. I read, I decided to comment :). So hello to you. I myself am from Siberia, I live in Nsk - I am ill for a nickname - and not for Nalchik, to call Peter.
According to this article, I am glad, and I appreciate that the visit of "Kuzi" that "Sharp-eyed" is not only as a moral support for the Syrians, but also that most importantly I consider the INDEPENDENT radar station for detecting CC, NC and LC and, as a consequence, the ability to work Syrian air defense in a possible conflict possibly Iran) on target designations from our patrol ship and not "fire" your radar + possible relaying of data from our orbital constellation of satellites. I would also put this to the Iranian shores (if we are friends of course :)). Such is the IMHA.

[Goga]

Spartach, Hello, colleague, our chronically "pirates" are caught near the Iranian coast, and who do ours think of as "pirates" ...?

[Spartach]

And hello to you Goga. The fact that we catch the "pirates" and monitor the general situation is buzzing. Only with all due respect to you and our radar station, is it not far from the patrol route to Iran?

Remember, not forgotten. The main thing is that the palundra would not grind in us (((

[Cripple cross]

We need to catch more ships at our base, and let at least one shrapnel from the shell accidentally fall into our port - the territory of the Russian Federation.

[patriot2]

Yes, I would like for SKR to go in the company of a pair of eyeliners, albeit diesel ones. All the same, 3 is better than 1. Again - it would be calmer for our guys to work out the task. News +

[PSih2097]

Safety of the “Shrewd” during passage of straits and stops at ports is ensured by a special anti-terror group from the marine brigade of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

But isn’t it easier to call everything by their proper names - underwater saboteurs, combat swimmers, sea devils ...
