An American aircraft carrier strike group, led by the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, arrives in the Mediterranean, where deck exercises will take place. aviation USA with the Greek Air Force. It is reported by news portal Newsbomb.gr.

The American AUG, which includes 12 more ships in addition to the aircraft carrier, on Saturday will proceed through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean Sea, where the aircraft carrier will sail to the area south of the Greek island of Crete. It is specified that the aircraft carrier will stop at the border of the Greek Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The exercise will involve four pairs of F-16s from the Greek Air Force and four F-18s from an aircraft carrier.



As the newspaper writes, this is the first significant US intervention in the crisis situation that arose on Tuesday through the fault of Turkey. By sending AUG to the area, the Americans want to show that they can play the role of a referee and prevent any offensive action that Turkey might try to take.

Recall that Turkey on Tuesday issued a notification about seismic research in the exclusive economic zone of Greece near the island of Castellorizo ​​south of Crete from July 21 to August 2, and this may lead to an armed conflict between Greece and Turkey.

Currently, the Turkish research vessel Oruc Reis is anchored in the port of Antalya, but if necessary, it can arrive during the day in the area of ​​Kastelorizo ​​and other Greek islands to start searching for hydrocarbons. Concentrations have also been reported along the Turkish coast and in the area near the Turkish Kastelorizo fleet of two groups of approximately 25 warships.

In turn, the Greek armed forces are on full alert, the country's naval forces are deployed in the Aegean Sea and occupy key positions to monitor any movement of Turkish ships. At the same time, the Turkish Navy is tracking the movements of the Greeks. In addition, a French frigate, located near the Cypriot port of Larnaca, is monitoring the situation.

        You know, their actions in China / in the suppression of the boxer uprising / in the United States are rightly called "gunboat diplomacy." Together with the British, they controlled the rivers and seaports there. But in this "diplomacy" not only the Yankees and the Britons were smeared, but a whole coalition of the leading powers (empires) wishing to defend their interests in China and expand their sphere of influence there. Our fleet also landed assault forces from the sea, and during the general assault on Beijing, Russian artillerymen punched passages in the wall for American assault columns. Without "gunboat politics" or whatever you call it --- the Empires would not have had the opportunity to be born and exist.

      I do not envy the Greeks. Yankees will play and make money on two fronts. As a result, after an exemplary punishment, the Turks will be allowed to squeeze the Greeks. As a result: the Yankees will have obedient Greeks with the Turks, plus fat on their fight.

Well, again, a Russian soldier will shed blood just the way you want? If we start to play unofficially for the Greeks, the Yankees and the Turks will officially start hitting us, explain to you what this is fraught with? Again, I do not see any positive aspects from this adventure. Or do you think there are few other conflicts in which we participate in one way or another?

      Rather, an attempt to stop the conflict, the conflict between Greece and Turkey is not beneficial for the United States, NATO will immediately crack at the seams, the Americans will not allow Turkey to start a war with Greece and a group of ships was apparently sent for this purpose. In general, if you choose a side, then I would support Greece here (not at the state level, but just purely humanly), Turkey - Erdogan turned completely in the wrong direction, the war in Syria, Libya, looks at the resources of Greece (and at other countries too) Azerbaijan, again, Turkey supports in the conflict with Armenia, too much Turkey has become in the BV, and if you remember that secular Turkey turned to the Muslim path and is trying to restore the Ottoman Empire, then there are even less reasons to support them.

                  stopped laughing, it is worth already made big eyes. Laughter vanished as if by hand!

                  succeeded, he never laughed as much as I know him?

        "Neither Greece nor Turkey has anti-ship missiles capable of breaking through the order and reaching the avik."

        Both Greece and Turkey have something to sink their ships, and they can use them with the help of aviation and the fleet, including underwater ones. Whether an aircraft carrier is flooded or only health is reduced depends on the theory of probability and the number of means of application. Another question is what goals can be achieved as a result. But here everything is bad if Turkey or Greece attacks aug, then they will have problems above the roof. Therefore, this is an incredible scenario.

        Greece and Turkey have old questions about between. A lot of myself. Now the confrontation is about a new problem with hydrocarbons. The United States will settle the situation between them fairly. Greece wants them not to go to Turkey. The Turks want the Greeks to be left out.

      The photo is old, archived, now the Eisenhower looks much more deplorable, and the air wing is no longer there.
      Not a trace of the former gloss remained, there are deep doubts that in the event of a real mess, the Americans will not get skinny and will not surrender.

    This is how much time it took to arrange the aircraft on the deck for a promotional photo. Wouldn't it be a good idea to start producing aircraft from an avik with this arrangement?

    The Turks bought the S-400 in time, just like they looked into the water, they would still have our anti-ship missiles, at least "Ball" and "Bastion" - then it was possible to arrange a uniform beating of the enemy in the Mediterranean Sea.

    Of course, I know that many sailors also say that garbage is floating, and ships are sailing. But according to the rules of the Russian language, it will be right - it floats. After all, a ship has no legs, it cannot walk on the sea, it just floats.

    Interesting! Turkey has brought up 25 ships, and the Greeks occupy "key observation posts." Some absurdity!

    Yes, let the whole world scold - we only play into our hands. In particular, in the economic zone of Cyprus in the area of ​​the Aphrodite field there are about 127 billion cubic meters of natural gas, which is enough to meet the needs of the island for more than 100 years This is only five winters of average coldness

    A banal remake, who stood on whom in 404 and how it looked in general, you can rewrite 10 more times, either a synagogue, or a mosque, or a wooden hut reading room laughing This temple burned down during a popular uprising in 404. The newly built church was destroyed by fire in 415. Emperor Theodosius II ordered to build a new basilica on the same site, which was completed in the same year. The Theodosius Basilica burned down in 532 during the Nika uprising. Its ruins were discovered only in 1936 during excavations on the territory of the cathedral.How the burnt logs were found and they turned into stone ruins is generally an anecdote laughing

    300 trillion cubic meters of proven gas reserves in this area. Qatar with Gazprom nervously smoke on the sidelines. An energy superpower is when there are energy resources and there are forces to protect them. But everyone forgot about the energy hegemon, who can take what he wants from others by force. Russia will not give up its own, but in this situation it has nothing to take, except for Wagner's troops. And this is not AUG.

    Now Russia is also demanding money from Greece. Meanwhile, according to industry sources, DEPA must settle accounts with its key supplier, OAO Gazprom. Greece is entirely dependent on foreign supplies of natural gas, with about 80% of imports coming from Russian pipeline gas. Four Russian energy players claim the Greek gas company Public Gas Corporation SA (DEPA). According to the Greek newspaper Imerisia on Monday, applications for the DEPA privatization tender were submitted by Gazprom, the Energia investment fund, co-owned by the ex-minister of energy, ex-adviser to the president, member of the board of directors of Gazprom Igor Yusufov, the group Sintez "controlled by the senator from Chuvashia Leonid Lebedev, as well as the structure of" Sintez "- the company" Negusneft ".

    Italian Edison, AEM and ENI, Azerbaijani state company Socar, Algerian Sonatrach, Spanish Gaz Natural and Enagas, Israeli corporation Israel Corp., Japanese Mitsui, Dutch Vopak, Chinese ENN, Czech CEZ and Greek holding M&M also submitted bids for the Greek asset.

    Greek state-owned gas supplier DEPA is negotiating with domestic banks for a loan to pay for energy imports. A source in DEPA told Reuters about it on condition of anonymity.

    DEPA does not have enough money to pay off around 120 million euros at the end of this month under contracts with suppliers, including Gazprom. DEPA provides the lion's share of the gas consumed by Greek companies. National businesses were unable to pay for DEPA supplies because they, in turn, did not receive payment for their services.

    Greece imports from abroad all the consumed volume of natural gas. About 80% of imports come from Russia. Informed industry sources told the agency that Gazprom has set a deadline for DEPA to settle commitments. The Greek company will have to pay off the Russian giant no later than June 22, the agency's interlocutors know.
    The loan, about which DEPA is currently negotiating with a consortium of private and state-owned Greek banks, will allow the company to service obligations and ensure supplies to consumers at least until early July, the agency's source said.

    The situation around DEPA did not go unnoticed by the Greek authorities. Energy market regulator RAE said on June 1 that it will convene an emergency meeting with market participants within a week to find a way out of the impasse. The talks are likely to be postponed until next week, a DEPA spokesman told the agency.

    In 2013, the gas reserves of the field were reduced to about 140 bcm from 3 bcm after the company drilled the 230nd appraisal well to clarify the reserves. A less expensive option is now being considered - the creation of a floating gas liquefaction unit, /////
