Admiral of the U.S. Navy in the defense plan advised to take an example from the Russian

The American admiral cited the Russian Federation as an example. The case is not ordinary.

We are talking about the US Navy Admiral James Foggo, who spoke about building an effective system of protection of maritime borders.
For reference: James Foggo - Commander of the U.S. Navy in Europe and Africa.

According to Foggo, which leads the publication Business Insider, if you need to protect your shores, then for this it is not necessary to have huge resources.

The American commander noted that if resources are limited, then we can take an example from the Russians.

James Foggo, referring to the allies of the United States:

Pay attention to what the Russians are doing. Use similar weapons: cruise anti-ship missiles, coastal radars, smart sea mines.

As a concrete example, the American admiral cited Russia's defense of the Crimea, where, in particular, advanced air defense systems, including the S-400 Triumph air defense system, are located.

These statements by James Foggo were made against the background of the statements of individual countries, US allies, about the lack of resources to ensure the protection of their borders at sea.

Previously, Pentagon officials said that Russia has built updated systems for protecting maritime borders in all directions: from the Black Sea to the Arctic.

This is bad when the enemy has bright thoughts.

There are only problems with these smart American admirals! He’d better not say anything.

Admiral of the U.S. Navy in the defense plan advised to take an example from the Russian

"An example always has a stronger impact than a sermon."

This is bad when the enemy has bright thoughts.

Much worse when the enemy does not have bright thoughts. Like Hitler’s example.
At least professionals of this level, like this admiral, understand that Russia is a serious opponent. And this understanding will keep them from stupid things.

There is an agreement on the prevention of incidents at sea with ships and aircraft above it, in my opinion as far back as 1972. This is guided by the Yankees and we. Therefore, minor misunderstandings-incidents can still be in the everyday practice of navigation ...
But the "nonsense" at sea, with far-reaching consequences, the military can create only on the orders of politicians, or rather politicians, such as Bolton or McCain, who finally died.

The admiral understands this, but politicians make decisions. And in this regard (adequacy), recently, some problems have been traced by Western politicians. On the other hand, if the Americans were to defend only their own country, then they would have had enough money with a large excess. But no, you need to shove your huge army and navy around the world. So don't let them complain. For what, as they say, they fought, as they say, and expenses.

[Hagalaz]

I think it makes sense in your words. But I also think that those who make decisions understand perfectly well that no threat comes from Russia (and all the scarecrows are purely for propaganda). Hence, there is no desire to spend extra money against a fictional enemy.

[knn54]

HE IS NOT THE FIRST TIME to issue warnings about an increase in the level of perfection of Russian weapons and tactics of the Russian Federation.
T. E:
-it is proposed to adopt the experience of Russia;
-, the allies NEEDED to acquire (EXPLAINLY WHO) clever mines, anti-ship missiles and coastal radars that should operate in a complex;
- the growth of the level of defense of the Russian Federation says ("voice-over", hint) about the need for additional appropriations.

Fig yourself 0_o anxious admiral! Damn good that they have few ...

The fact is that this voice is crying in the wilderness. No one will hear this admiral. By the way, it’s not one of them who has such bright thoughts in his head, but there’s no sense in it.

As a concrete example, the American admiral cited the defense of Crimea perfectly built by Russia

Well, in the original, not only about the defense of Crimea, but about the defense of the entire Black Sea coast, Kaliningrad and Syria.

As for the defense capabilities, as I say to allies and partners, if you are limited in the amount of resources available to you and want to protect your shores, think about what the Russians are doing with A2 / AD and look for similar systems, "Mr. Foggo said. He believes that such systems in conjunction with the s-300 and S-400 SAMS, coastal defense radar systems, and anti-ship cruise missiles protect Crimea well. The same systems, according to him, work on the black sea coast, in Kaliningrad and in Syria

The admiral praises our "s-300 and S-400" with might and main and calls on allies "look for similar systems for yourself"

The fact of the matter is that "like" ... like Petriot ... Yeah.
But when they buy the S-400 (Turkey, UAE), then immediately begins a tantrum that flows into sanctions and threats.
It's good that the Sultan has iron Faberge, so he resisted. But the gentle guardians (under the socialist François Hollande) did not sell the Mistrals to us, although they took 4 billion euros ... Probably the striped ears are hoping for this, advising the satellites to buy "such systems".

[cost]

Greetings, Alexander
So his speech is designed for that. While the admiral pushes a speech from the rostrum, his subordinates cheerfully distribute to the audience in the hall the brochures of Petriot

[Mountain shooter]

And what should we, look at their cruisers that periodically enter the Black Sea, what is there to "show"?
Crimea, Crimea .. whoever owns the Crimea, he owns the Black Sea ... Which was called Russian in the time of Byzantium.

[smart ass]

Coastal complexes from the Crimea cover the entire Black Sea, any enemy ship in the Black Sea lives exactly as long as Russia allows

[bessmertniy]

However, we do not invite them, and they come in with their provocations.

Right.
They are invited by Romania, Bulgaria, brothers from the independent ...

[akribos]

In Crimea, indeed, the air defense was well built up.

Only there is one big minus! If the site’s commentators saw with their own eyes how the batteries are actually located, they would be discouraged.
It is enough to separate the DRP in order to disable the C400 battery.
The location is extremely paradoxical, but characteristic of the general ... relation to business.
It is depressing.

[KVU-NSVD]

And what is wrong with their location specifically? And what kind of mysterious branches of the DRP, and what is the ease of incapacitation by them of military equipment in the RPD or PRakh?

[akribos]

Smart ass. Go and see.

As Panikovsky said in The Golden Calf: "No, you go to Kiev and ask .., no, you go and ask! There everyone will answer you ..." Can you tell it yourself? How will you answer for the words? And it turns out that it is not me who is "clever" here ...

[akribos]

In contrast, you are a lot of letters from us. I write about what I see with my own eyes.

[rocket757]

Admirals may have different thoughts, opinions .... with politicians, it is much more complicated, the situation is worse! And it is the politicians who "rule", the admirals do it!

[Boris55]

His words would be yes to Roman in ears

[SVD68]

Here the American admiral did not so much urge to take an example from the Russians, as he tried to refute the excuses of the NATO countries who did not want to spend money on military needs.

[don-1500]

Lelik is not hegeenic. But cheap, reliable and practical

[asbond]

In the original - "Lyolik, this is not aesthetic!"

[Lena Petrova]

How much can you save by protecting only the American coast. Democracy around the world is worth a lot.

[shinobi]

The general politely explained to the partners where they should go with their complaints, and also made it clear that in the event of which the United States did not hope for help. The obvious things, in general, are nothing new. There are no close smells of bright thoughts here.

[Nuclear_winter]

The admiral seems to have forgotten to add what other weapons NATO countries urgently need to acquire from the United States
