The British flotilla entered a large group of ships of the Navy

In connection with the emergence of a large group of Russian pennants, the British Navy sent flotilla into the English Channel, which was tasked with tracking the “unusually high level of activity”.

According to the Royal Navy, frigates of type 23 HMS Kent, HMS Sutherland, HMS Argyll, HMS Richmond, patrol vessels HMS Tyne, HMS Mersey, tanker RFA Tideforce, RFA Tidespring and hydrographic vessel HMS Echo took part in the "large-scale operation". Only nine ships.

Royal Navy sailors and aircraft crews monitored every movement of Russian ships using modern radars and surveillance tools, which made it possible to determine their course and speed when they passed the British Isles

- said in an official statement.

Allegedly, Russian pennants were discovered by HMS Tyne, who stayed at sea for the last week, controlling the country's southern coast. He stepped on three Steregushchy class corvettes, two landing ships of the Ropucha type [project 775] and two frigates of the Admiral Grigorovich project, as well as auxiliary vessels and tugboats.

This is our core business, an unconditional commitment to maintaining UK security.

said Lieutenant Nick Ward with HMS Tyne.

[Shurik70]

The pipe layer is far away.
They are watching how the Britons react to large naval forces in the English Channel.
The opposite is most likely, yes, they will go with a pipelayer. The Britons will have the nerve to "accidentally ram" the ship if not arrested. So security is needed.

I doubt very much that the "large forces" of the Russian Navy will climb into the bottle of the English Channel, rather bypass it south of the Faroe Islands ...

What hurry up?
Since the English Channel is 240 km wide and the Pas-de-Calais is 32 km wide. A real bottle, it’s difficult to just shove it, so as not to yell: "the Russians are dangerously maneuvering" ...)))

Because of the pipe layer, the Britons will not start a war.
Muck to do - they will not miss a chance.
And in peacetime, Russian military vessels pass without problems there

I read highly learned comments. However, I have a purely practical amateurish remark to the boatswain of Her Majesty's ship (HMS) in the second photo above. There is work to do.

Conversely, most likely yes, they will go with the pipe layer.

The pipelayer is already accompanying our patrol ship - TFR "Yaroslav the Wise". The author of the article forgot to add or did not specifically disclose the reason for the appearance of our ships there. According to the Russian Navy, Russian ships participated in the exercises of the Baltic Fleet. The Boiky and Stoyky corvettes, together with the large landing ships Minsk and Kaliningrad, worked out the destruction of the imaginary enemy's submarines.

Two weeks ago on TOPVAR (March 11, 2020) -

According to the data of navigation portals, the pipelayer approached Sri Lanka on March 3, after which he changed the route to the Suez Canal. However, the ship stood at the island for another three days, and on March 6 it simply turned off the automatic identification system (AIS). On March 4, the Baltic Fleet patrol ship Yaroslav the Wise arrived in Sri Lanka, which on March 6, after replenishing supplies, sailed back to the Gulf of Aden on an “anti-piracy” shift.
Moreover, at the same time as the watchman, a pipelayer also came out, who, under the cover of a Russian warship, could safely pass into the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. It is noted that when passing through the Aden Strait, ships traditionally turn off the AIS so as not to “shine” on pirate radars.
Meanwhile, it became known that after the "Academician Chersky" a large anti-submarine ship of the Pacific Fleet Admiral Vinogradov arrived in Sri Lanka, which, apparently, unofficially guarded the ship on the route from Nakhodka to Sri Lanka.

Therefore, whether the AIS turns off or not, whether it changes its name or not, by what strait / which course it will take, it is not very promising business = "fortune-telling on the coffee grounds"

They take the submarines to the Atlantic, see off the English Channel.
And behind the hydrographic vessel, Black Sea frigates could be detached from Tartus.
At least all three.
Directly to the Indian Ocean and from there escorted to the Baltic.
But letting such a vessel around Africa ... is somehow completely strange.

Really mixed up ... ... I thought about the pipe-layer for the SP-2, and wrote about hydrographic. This is not the first time that groups of surface ships have secured the withdrawal of nuclear submarines beyond the English Channel, rustling with screws and providing surface lighting of the situation ... By the way, we have already written about this.

With a hydrograph - already a scientific expedition. And escort so that gulls and sharks do not interfere with scientists.

They are probably trying to detect submarines.
The frigates seem to have completely forgotten how.

Here, yes, the virus doesn’t give a damn. But the seamen will be infected many times less, they are still limited in communication with the outside world. But the sailors of the commercial fleet are more susceptible to this virus than others. Arriving at loading and unloading, without even going ashore, they have to communicate quite closely with representatives of the port, with consignee-senders, with formans, and with movers in all ports of the world. And sea freight was, is and will be; you cannot quarantine them.

Been like that on the same British boat. The destroyer, I think ... came on a visit, on Navy Day. Not to say that it is a particularly decent ship ... Rzhevenky, shabby. The premises are a mess, slightly. Sailors - "multicolored" - from mulattoes to blacks and descendants of Genghis Khan ... There are also English-redheads, like the Bobby train station. In general, there was an opinion that especially the people, in the fleet of Her Majesty, do not break.

[novel66]

“Tell the Sovereign that the British do not clean their guns with brick: let them not clean them with us, otherwise God save the war and they will not be able to shoot,” Levsha distinctly said, crossed himself and died.

If the English is an destroyer, then this is pr. 42, these are participants in the Falkland War of 1982, 25-30 years old boats, what did you want? If there was a frigate, pr. 23, he would be 15 years younger. And they often go to military service for benefits: citizenship, study, a child ... so even though the Eskimos, their incomes are not bad.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

I don't know anything about their "income". I will not lie. BUT somehow ...... this "excursion" did not impress me .. I expected more.

I do not know how it is now, but in the Russian Navy, too, the decks did not shine, at least in 90-2000, only if window dressing. And fed, I remember what cutlets Friendship and mashed potatoes. Brr ...

Well, in HMS, salaries are not very high. The officers are paid well, but the rest are not. That kind of money can be earned on the shore. Therefore, many people from the Commonwealth countries serve there. Even in the merchant marine, there are now few British people. The people do not want to "plow" the sea. The sea is the lot of the poor.

Quite an interesting statement, Her Majesty "Tyne" was in control of the South, and the Russian group came from the North. Yes, they were seen from the satellite before entering the straits. Freaks.

Probably there is no such fuss, just constantly anchored in the harbors of Portsmouth, Plymouth, Weymouth or at the pier. Boredom, in the morning on the "box", in the evening to his wife's side, and so all year round. And then there is an excuse to go out to sea, and no one will ask why and how much they "burned pale", and the lads will breathe sea air, and after the "long voyage" they will boast of their exploits for another year, and maybe they will throw a medal to someone, although the commander of the formation the order will be given, well, the commanders of the ships, depending on the rank. The coastal ones will not be forgotten either, especially the secretaries of state and chief economists. Although this is the lot of Her Majesty. This is General of the Army Nikolai Pankov, State Secretary of the Ministry of Defense, that one has a lot of orders, the head of the rear of the General of the Army even has a Hero's Star, but General of the Army, Chief Economist Tatiana Shevtsova, has more orders than the Commander of the 1st Baltic Front, that's really offended the former Deputy Prime Minister of Moscow Ivanov Timur, he is just a deputy minister, a lieutenant general, and there are fewer orders than Tanya's, but more than the battalion commander who fought for 15 years in all hot spots of Russia.
