USA supported France in its conflict with Turkey over the incident in the Mediterranean

National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien told reporters in Paris that the United States is supporting France in its confrontation with Turkey over the incident in the Mediterranean. Donald Trump, who has developed good relations with both Emmanuel Macron and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, could help defuse the situation.

This was reported by the Associated Press news agency.

The scandal exposed NATO's struggle to maintain order within its ranks and weakened US leadership under President Donald Trump. O'Brien stated that such incidents should not happen:

NATO allies should not turn their fire control radars at each other. This is not good.

Earlier, the French military reported that on June 10, their frigate Courbet was illuminated by the radar system of a Turkish warship accompanying a civilian cargo ship. The French acted as part of NATO's Operation Maritime Guard to ensure safe shipping in the Mediterranean and to cut off arms traffic to Libya. They got information that the ship, guarded by the Turkish Navy, transported weapon for one of the parties to the Libyan conflict.

Ankara protested against an attempt by the French military to detain a Turkish convoy in neutral waters. At the same time, Turkey said that the actions of the Turkish warship did not pose a threat to the French Navy ship.

Nothing interesting, this is Lafayette of the first generation, still without a refit. There the P-15 would have smoked and perished this miracle of engineering, for wars without an adversary.

These 8 Krotaly are the only air defense ships.

Yes, it would still be interesting, regardless of whether the French would drown the Turks or not. The very fact of firing on a French ship. You look and the Turks from France would have sent gifts.

Everything is much more banal and more complicated, problem areas with all the "fossils" are being developed by Turkey, it is impossible to simply "give away" according to the scenario, it is necessary to create the appearance of protest and concern. The United States as a "piggy bank" does not pull, even with all external pumps, and NATO members are far from involuntary people .. This "party" in the east is far from its logical conclusion ..

How is it in Russian?

NATO allies should not turn their fire control radars at each other. This is not good.

The Turk leads the Sultan and promises them "half the world." Responsible French dribbled, because apart from dem. there are no values ​​for the soul. Macron cannot even promise them France, they come in large numbers.

How is it in Russian?

Great is the mighty Russian language.

[lubesky]

Turkey, in principle, is like a suitcase without a handle for NATO. The likelihood of an armed conflict with Russia is very high in the future, given the revanchist policies of the Turks. Let us not forget that Byzantium should be returned to the fold of the Church, which in itself is the default reason. The murder of the Russian ambassador, the downed attack aircraft and the unwillingness to recognize the Armenian genocide. An unprecedented insolence attempt at times to limit shipping through the isthmus for a nuclear superpower ... All this can lead to a conflict in which NATO will need to seriously think whether to intervene on the side of Turkey or not.
Let us not forget Turkey’s financing of the Islamic Crescent and dubious organizations in Tatarstan and Bashkortostan, its influence in Central Asia. Turkey is doing a lot to complicate our relations and so little and far-sighted to improve these relations. (I mean gas relations with Putin’s team - his team is not eternal, and Russia is the very power that has a very good memory)

Putin’s team is not eternal - yes, but the question is which team will replace?

[vargo]

Well, in fact, all the disagreements in NATO are now strongly associated with the licentiousness of Turkey. The rest would have somehow agreed. And here it is how, if you give the insolent will, he beguiles all the banks. There is no one to restrain Turkey. It will only get worse. I shot down an airplane in Russia, and nothing (militarily), which means France can be beaten even more so. I think Turkey will still throw a couple of meatballs in the near future.

[Victor67]

And what does it mean: shot down a plane of Russia, then France can be beaten even more so? Yes, the Turks would have stumbled so that a French plane was shot down, there an aircraft carrier (French) rubs them nearby, and a legion reckless at the ready, plus a submarine. This is our plane, you can shoot down and get off with tomatoes for six months, this number will not work with France, the Turks will be carried out at the same gate right away and will not see what is in NATO.

[Cyril G ...]

Quote: Victor67

Yes, the Turks would huddle to shoot down a French plane,

The Frenchman would have been knocked down without flinching a single muscle. And a volley of anti-ship missiles would have slammed into the frigate if the French had not passed back.

with France, such a number will not work, they will carry the Turks into the same gate at once and will not see what is in NATO.

Only in fantasy. In reality, after a week of operation against Gaddafi, the Franks ended the WTO from the word in general, then they bombed with conventional bombs and made every effort to use the Americans.

here are the best warships for yourself and the whole world,

How are they the best sideways?

and Leclerc, in terms of parameters unattainable for all countries

Come on....

aircraft carriers

One was stuck in another repair ...

[Victor67]

The key word "would" was not slapped to the French, but ours were slapped so that the tomatoes disappeared for a year.
The Franks ended the WTO, but it did not even begin with us, as they ran in Syria during the 500th World War, and they continue everywhere.
The best ships in any direction: from FREMS, to whose analogues we are not talking at all (these are destroyers), to UDCs, which seem to have been licked off, but in no way will they lay.
And about aircraft carriers: in the sense of being stuck in repair ??? This is a nuclear aircraft carrier with a modern air group on board, with catapults, AWACS planes and other buns, stands off the coast of Libya, projects something there, maybe even force, what's wrong?
Our kerogas got stuck in the repair, the boilers were repaired, but they weren't repaired, it will smoke again, to everyone's shame, if they do not try to drown again during repairs, will go out to sea with 33 without a radar and with pilots without a raid, they will again dive into the water.

The key word "would", did not slap the French,

Keyword Franks went where they were sent. Transport with a Turkish escort went further towards its goal

Quote: Victor67

as they flowed in Syria during the 500th time of the Second World War, and continue everywhere.

Understandably, the repeated use of SLCM and SLCM passed you by, as it happens if you have a built-in filter. By the way, the use of conventional bombs in Syria is quite reasonable sufficiency ...

Quote: Victor67

from FREMS, to analogs of which are still generally discussed

There are definitely no analogues. Gorshkov pr. 22350 is heavily armed in terms of air defense, and in other matters are generally comparable.

This is a nuclear aircraft carrier with a modern air group on board, with catapults, AWACS planes and other buns, it stands off the coast of Libya, projects something there, maybe even force, what's wrong?

It is under repair ...

with pilots without flying,

Do you have proof?

with the French it wouldn't work.

With the French, it was still not so good ...

aircraft construction,

For some reason I don't remember a 5th generation French fighter.

[Victor67]

And what is Gorshkov more armed with than FREMM? Your ambitions and hurray-patriotism? Let's get the facts into the studio!
And I don’t remember the 5th generation fighter, the engine was not and will not be until the age of 25, there is no radar and it is not known when it will be, so they will build at least one regiment with everything that gives the right to be considered the 5th generation, then hurray you will shout.

[Cyril G ...]

Have you ever tried to read at least the performance characteristics? so obviously not .. Alas.
So I will explain very briefly, because I will not educate you for free. For money I will give a course of lectures, for example, on the combat use of naval forces.
The Frenchman has 8 missile launchers Exocet, 16 UVP Silver for Scalp (Scalp, let's say, and not an anti-ship missile), 16 UVP Silver for Aster missiles, 76 mm cannon, 2 x3 324 mm TA, helicopter. Total 16 CD, 8 anti-ship missiles, 16 missiles
Russky - 16 UKSK (16 KR 3M14, or PKR 3M54 or PKR 3M55 ONYX), 32 UVP for 9M96 missiles or 4 9M100 missiles instead of one 9M96 missile, 130 mm AU, 2 ZAK PALMA 2x6 30 mm, helicopter, well, and we must not forget that The frigate has the world's only serial PTZ Paket-NK complex. A total of 16 anti-ship missiles or KR, from 32x to 128 missiles, of course, the equipment will be mixed. Yes, the 9M100 rocket, alas, is a reality for you and went into series.

So ridiculous and illiterate ambitions are about you.

[Victor67]

Well, yes, everything is fine, so much so that even in the USA they made a decision on FREMM for themselves, albeit in the Italian version. And what about Charles de Gaulle? Repairing or in Libya? And how does the Su-33 compare to the Rafal-M?

[Cyril G ...]

Quote: Victor67

Well, yes, everything is fine, so much so that even in the USA they made a decision on FREMM for themselves, albeit in the Italian version.

So this is obvious to everyone, apparently except you. The Russian USA will not buy the ship project. And so the ship is mastered in the series, the bugs are licked. Silver completely changes to Mk41 if necessary, etc. etc.

And what about Charles de Gaulle? Repairing or in Libya?

Well, then they kicked business into the sea .... You would have studied the issue of the Turkish fleet and the French and then you would have realized that it wouldn’t come out of half a kick.

Quote: Victor67

And how does the Su-33 compare to the Rafal-M?

It is necessary to compare the comparable. You probably don't know that the Su-33s have been flying in recent years. However, who am I talking to !!!!!!
By the way, speaking of service - Su-33 lost 2 at sea, only 5, Rafaley lost 4 over the sea ...

[Cyril G ...]

I don’t remember the fifth generation fighter, there was no engine and there will not be until the age of 5, there is no radar and it’s not known when it will be, so they will build at least one regiment with everything that gives the right to be considered the 25th generation, then hurray you will shout ...

You are the same urya, only in the opposite direction, inverted. And you don’t know the elementary.
First of all, I remember a 5th generation fighter in Russia. They have already built 11 experimental and pre-production vehicles in Russia. The second serial is already ready. Check carefully so far. Secondly, in the part of the radar, you are lying - Belka went and succeeded. The plane was not launched into production until 19, precisely because Belka could not be accepted then. Thirdly, the available engines are quite enough for the car to have a cruising supersonic sound .... What the F-35 does not have by the way.
Fourth, I don't have to shout Hurray. For some reason you are jumping on business and without.

[Victor67]

Uh-huh, even compare their raid, count how much is lost relative to flight hours, well, or relative to the number of flights ... If all the time of service in the base were stuck on the shore, it would be possible to do without losses at all, well, if only some crane -not dropped on them, really, and I'm telling someone, hurray !!!!!!!! And think about what will replace the 33rd and when, and from what platform it will fly. Just don't talk nonsense about the 57th in the naval version.

[Cyril G ...]

Quote: Victor67

Then there were ingloriously lost wars in Indochina and Algeria. Then purely female throwing from / to NATO. The most combat structure are mercenaries - a foreign legion. a third of the population are Arabs and African Africans. against a surprise attack by the Turks, they have little to oppose, only nuclear weapons.

[Victor67]

How do you imagine the Turkish attack on France? Are you seriously? Do they come and drop right in Nice? If anything happens to them, it is only at sea, where the Franks of the Turks will unwind in 1 hour with their FREMMs, aircraft carrier and submarines. And on land, in Libya, for example, the same foreign legion will make minced meat from the Turks in a day in the absence of communications of the Turks across the sea, Egypt will also connect there, well, the United States, without them there is nowhere)))
By the way, what are African Africans? Do they sell in the morning? We have it from 14:00, and I think this is correct, because at 08:43 it is counterproductive to write such shnyaga.

[Victor67]

The French seem like fools, drinking a glass of dry red in the morning, but in fact they demolished Kaduffi without problems in one person, hold half of Africa, have the best industry in the world, here Airbus with branches to military aviation and space, here are the best warships for yourself and the whole world, here Leclerc, parameters unattainable for all countries, aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, can be listed for a long time, but the Turks simply have nothing to catch, I didn’t say anything about their nuclear weapons ...

[Victor67]

You can put me a thousand minuses, but this will not change anything in fact, the French industry is completely higher than ours: aircraft building, shipbuilding, the production of drugs, cars, and simply: the standard of living. That is why Turkey or Israel consider it normal to shoot down our planes, knowing that there will be nothing to answer, with the French it would not work.

About Turkish tomatoes. Where are they sold? Can I see a photo?
I have not seen in the Northwestern Federal District
About the downed Su-24, there was a planned operation. Tracking along the route, involved by the Israeli radar, according to some reports, was controlled not by a Turk, but by a minke.
On a / b Inzherlik there were 3000 military units and 5000 servants and their families. Und nuclear warheads.
After the attempted coup, the Turks banned the amers from flying from the base.
The presence of amers in Inzherlik has also significantly decreased. .
