The Pentagon spoke about the upcoming Russian exercises in the Mediterranean

28
In the US, they decided not to go past Russia's preparation for large-scale exercises in the Mediterranean. Recall that in the exercises of the Navy and the Russian Aerospace Forces it is planned to use 25 ships and vessels, as well as about three dozen aircraft, including the Tu-160 missile carriers and the Tu-142MK anti-submarine aircraft.

The Pentagon spoke about the upcoming Russian exercises in the Mediterranean




The head of the Pentagon’s press service, Eric Paihon, stated that the United States “is closely watching the preparations for the exercises,” and added what hope Washington has in this case.

Paehon added that the United States is traditionally present, including in the Mediterranean, freely acting in international waters.

From the statement of the head of the press service of the US military:
We expect that the Russian ships in the Mediterranean will act for everyone safely and professionally. This is the way to act in order to comply with international standards in terms of safe shipping.


Earlier, Russia warned about upcoming exercises in the Mediterranean. They will start tomorrow (1 September) and will last until 8 September. At this time, several squares of the Mediterranean are closed to civilian shipping as unsafe, which is fully consistent with international practice. The Marshal Ustinov missile cruiser that arrived in the exercise area will be involved in the exercise.

        I prefer to relax in Russia, but it’s not from lack of money, well, it doesn’t pull me there and that’s it. You can open your mouth from surprise and admiration on every corner, and you don’t have to hunt for positive emotions for a long time, everything is at hand, the country is big, because a man is a blacksmith of his own happiness and relaxation. My opinion is pure, and the knowledge of distant lands is natural and has been inherent in people for a long time. smile As well as an adventure search on your ass.

          Once we went to Egypt as a team. Booked the hotel in advance. And then suddenly the excitement began (2011) We handed over the vouchers, bought for 50, bought again in the same hotel for the same dates, but for 000)))) "Well, in fact, you can't postpone your vacation because of such nonsense "- we thought then. They offered excursions to Cairo "to see the revolution", but we didn’t go. Everything ended well. But I don't want such an attraction anymore.

    We expect Russian ships in the Mediterranean to operate safely and professionally for everyone.

    The phrase "safe and professional", from the mouth of the mattress, just jarring. When our pilots, or the military in general, act "NOT safely and NOT professionally", it is immediately clear that they acted correctly, and the penguins got burnt.

      The last time, on 14.04.2018/03/30, the showman Trump with his warriors, in my opinion, predicted the time of the strike under prime time on TV. Friday evening Eastern Standard Time, around XNUMX:XNUMX Moscow time. It will be difficult to predict whether this time.

      when all the terrorists' plans to prepare for the chemical attack were announced in Russia, they had to urgently come up with reasons for postponing it or inventing a new provocation. And here - here's the reason for you! There is an excuse for their wards in Idlib: "Well, I didn’t shmogla ..." If during our exercises, the Syrians suddenly accidentally take Idlib, so they will generally have a "good face" in front of the whole world.

    Exactly and not otherwise.

    Otherwise, we do not know how.

    But to the United States, questions remained.

    As much as we expect this from the American fleet, and most importantly, not to shoot with "axes" at sovereign states.
