Within sight. "Yaroslav the Wise" established surveillance of "Harry Truman"

British television channel ITV reports that the frigate of the Russian Navy Yaroslav the Wise, equipped with the Uran anti-ship missile system, monitors the US Navy aircraft carrier Harry Truman (USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75)), which is located in the eastern part of the water area Mediterranean Sea.

Frigate of the Russian Navy "Yaroslav the Wise", view from the aircraft carrier




Journalists from the British television corporation ITV visited aboard the US aircraft carrier Harry Truman in the Mediterranean. They managed to photograph the frigate of the Russian Navy "Yaroslav the Wise", which watches the actions of the Americans.

At the same time, according to the American naval sailors, the ships of the US Navy strike group "Harry Truman" maintain regular communication with the Russian frigate, the TV channel notes.

The report also notes that the “Yaroslav the Wise” has already developed something like a “reputation”, since this ship is not the first time watching the “Harry Truman”. An ITV article mentions a two-year-old incident when one of the destroyers crossed the course of the frigate Yaroslav the Wise on the nose at a dangerous distance. The US command then considered that the Russian ship had gone for a dangerous rapprochement, trying to prevent the actions of the aircraft carrier group.

The US Navy carrier strike group, which also includes a missile cruiser, four destroyers and a German frigate, must head from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf. However, the Pentagon decided to detain it in the Mediterranean for an indefinite period.

                And what are his qualities there? He simply has the means of hitting an aircraft carrier and doesn’t have one. No, of course there are Uranus, and there are torpedoes yet. But against an aircraft carrier with an escort, this is simply not serious.

                  Of course, an aircraft carrier cannot be fired with rockets from Yaroslav, they are designed for a vessel of up to 5000 tons of displacement, but karma can be spoiled seriously, especially when it starts to burn and explode on the deck, what was cooked up

                This is KNS - a direct tracking ship. The main thing for him at the hour “H” is to give out the Shir-holes, the course and speed of the AMG. Well, shoot until they drown. To do this, select the appropriate distance and KU tracking position. Closer to the 20 KBT it is impossible to approach in peacetime, and so climb overboard and unload the BZ through the barrel of the "hundred", because other weapons simply will not have time to be cocked ... You can still shoot from RBU-6000 for fun ....

            Impudent and treacherous Englishmen. On the contrary, they completely rearranged them from their feet. AUG consisting of the aircraft carrier Harry Truman, a cruiser, four destroyers, a frigate and an atomic submarine is observing our patrol ship Yaroslav the Wise on a peacekeeping mission in the eastern Mediterranean.

    Yaroslav the Wise is following Harry Truman? Our prince is behind their president? What is it like? Just kidding, of course. But some “interesting little things” “slip”. The British zhurnalyugi pinned on the American aircraft carrier, accompanied, among other things, by the German frigate to capture the "aggressive" actions of the Russian warship? I wonder how! Does a civilized geyropa serve his master? “On a click” the “British little dogs” came running to “yap,” and the German “goldmen” on their frigate “take out impurities” behind the master? Well, well ... Just kidding ...

    Father served in the Navy in the 70s, he told. If the NATO ship was right at the heading, or the courses intersected, the NATO team was told: "we lost control, so we are heading for full BC." NATO left.

      It seems to me that this is the parade of 2015. There, SSR Yuri Ivanov is standing in the ranks without a flag. It raised the flag just in the 15th. I was there on the spit at that time and was puzzled by the name of the communications ship. The fact is that there was a famous Kaliningrad writer, the marine painter Yuri Ivanov, I considered that in honor of him. This was remembered, and the scout, even after death, led me astray!

    I believe that there is only one "work" for the guard - to keep the AOG in sight and constantly broadcast its coordinates. And what to hit, there.

    Well, such a killer from him aircraft carriers. Unless the intelligence about the location will transmit.

    ---------------------------
    So I was also surprised, an entire aircraft carrier with an escort group is afraid of some kind of frigate. Absurdity is simple.

    By the way, whoever did not see Gravely’s Amer destroyer “cut” Yaroslav a couple of years ago. Insolent!

    -----------------------------------------
    So even if they did, the United States has more destroyers than we have frigates. From the point of view of mathematics, everything is correct.

    do you think Truman is eager to test defenses? Yes, and I would like to see how they take the “Uranus", with or without an escort.

    Frigate of the Russian Navy "Yaroslav the Wise", view from the aircraft carrier

    The look of death, the killer of aircraft carriers ...! And there I’m sure the submarines are still swimming quietly and waiting for an order to finish off! soldier

    There, the order is one: “in no case provoke the Americans” guarantor policy! Just that we were not here! Hit wherever you want and whom you want, dear partners ...

    Against AUG? The frigate of the Russian Navy "Yaroslav the Wise" will be destroyed in the very first seconds of the conflict, the United States has more opportunities for the last air show ...

    I think that the role of Yaroslav the Wise to divert attention to yourself, so that our submarines come to a shock position ... And the satellite can transmit the coordinates ...

    And so destroy the aircraft carrier most likely will be a simple ballistic missile, so that guided warheads would fall vertically down on him ... with great speed ...

    The conversation of Harry Truman and Yaroslav the Wise

    I, Harry, I am Harry! I'm coming for you
    But I can’t see almost ... nothing).
    EW jammed navigation
    In short. I am almost blind.
    Go fight honestly, Yaroslav,
    And then something I was completely weak.
    I’m badly spoiled in the system
    I'm sick of fever
    Here my reactor will flow
    Here the plane crashes on board ...
    Don't win me
    Fight with your shadow
    Stop mowing ... under the ghost! ....
    "Hello" to you, Harry, I am Yaroslav
    Dolgoruky sent me to you
    He hands did not become morale
    About you and your rat "army"
    There is me for you
    And for your tins
    Yuri and I saved a couple of “Varshavyanka”
    Not worth you
    Get close to us
    And then, as it were, you would not have to be offended.
    If life is dear to you
    You better not leave your shores ...

      Nothing will survive when the AUG will graze a couple of Leader type destroyers, with 5-7 Admiral Gorshkov type frigates and a couple of Ash-type submarines. Then they will sing and dance! Per Fleet Bro drinks

    I look, some here seriously believe that an aircraft carrier should be wary of a lonely ship? So behind him, alone, in turn, he observes a huge number of eyes and ears, armed with various equipment. He is unlikely to even be allowed to try to undertake at least something threatening.
