US Navy intends to ensure "freedom of navigation" in the Arctic

The US Navy intends to ensure freedom of shipping and navigation in the Arctic. This was announced by the Secretary of the Navy Kenneth Braithwaite.

According to the minister, the American fleet will begin regular patrols off the Russian coast in the Arctic. Thus, the US Navy intends to prevent "Moscow's offensive in the Far North" and to challenge "Chinese claims." Braithwaite promised to act "more aggressively."



Answering a question from journalists about whether the US Navy will be able to conduct "operations to ensure freedom of navigation" off Russia's northern coast, the minister answered in the affirmative, comparing the situation with the situation in the South China Sea, where American ships appear regularly. Therefore, the US Navy, being the "dominant naval force in the world," using its "rights and responsibilities", guarantees its partners "freedom of navigation."

Seaways in the North are becoming navigable, the US Navy is about to guarantee our partners freedom of navigation

- he added.

Braithwaite named submarines as the main advantage of the United States over Russia in the Arctic, but at the same time admitted that the United States does not have its own icebreaker fleet, so the Navy will rent icebreakers.

It should be noted that this is not the first time that the United States has declared its "right" to ensure "freedom of navigation" in the region of the Russian Northern Sea Route, making it "international."

                Let's quote about the STATE OF WAR with the Russian Federation, and not about rivalry, neutralizing threats and other attacks. You said exactly:
                Enemy warships

                The fact is that such concepts as an adversary, in military terms, imply a certain status of relations between the parties, specifically - a declaration of war or a military attack on an opponent, or did I miss something and the US used weapons against the Russian Federation?

            Probably they can. But in 2005. the government of amers turned to Russia for help. Yes
            And our icebreaker Krasin saved their Antarctic Expeditionary Station. All (two!) Amer icebreakers could not do this! Yes
            Here is an almost documentary film about this (and not only!) Rescue epic. You just need to watch the whole movie. Then an objective opinion will be formed about the capabilities of the icebreaker fleet of both the United States and Russia.

        So the fact of the matter is that the NSR passes not only through the EEZ of Russia and in ice, but through the territorial waters of Russia.
        I am silent about the "free" navigation in the territorial waters of Russia, which the penguins gathered to provide with their submarines.
        Art. 234 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea provides an opportunity for the adoption of additional laws regulating navigation in ice-covered areas within the country's EEZ, so that Russia is fully within its own right, introducing a permitting procedure for the passage of the NSR.
        As usual, the actions of the penguins are aimed at weakening and collapse of Russia, and not at protecting economic interests.
        In 1991 foreign ships were allowed to pass through the Northern Sea Route. However, the first two foreign ships sailed there only in 2009. In 2011, there were 34 of them, in 2012 - 46. And in 2015, only 18.
        For comparison, 2011 thousand ships proceeded through the Suez Canal in 18! Well, on August 6, 2015, the second Suez Canal was opened, laid parallel to the old one. As a result, the capacity of the Suez Canal has increased, and the transit time has decreased.
        So in the next decade, the NSR will not be able to make any competition for the Suez.
        Neither the US nor the EU will receive any economic dividends in the event of the internationalization of the NSR. The US goal - to create a military threat to Russia from the North - is a minimum program. And the maximum program is the capture of Siberia. The Russian North, where 1% of the Russian population lives, provides 20% of Russian exports!
        The situation is described very well here https://portnews.ru/digest/print/18074/?backurl=/digest/

            Again, everyone forgets about the submarines. Which under the ice can dive into our ter. waters. And no one can fix obstacles to them. I just don't have enough strength. Because we will not be able to attach our own submarines to each of their nuclear submarines.
            Yes, and more. If it is necessary to destroy an enemy nuclear submarine under the ice, what shall we do? Torpedo firing by us under the ice has not yet been worked out. Unlike the same penguins. We are such an Arctic power.

They can speak, recommend not what politicians want to hear, but exactly what they have outlined, planned, etc.

      Alternatively, the gifted last president of the USSR and the head of its Foreign Ministry from Georgia put their hands on soybeans to completely confuse the status of the Bering Strait. My suggestions will fit in the comments. Keep the state borders in the strait in their present form. The strait between the islands of Ratmanov and Kruzenshtern is closed for both international shipping and border states. Russia uses the passage and regulates international shipping in the strait between Chukotka and Ratmanov Island, the United States in the strait between Alaska and Kruzenshtern Island. For reference: the shortest distance from Chukotka to about. Ratmanov is only 36,5 kilometers, depths up to 50 meters. The FSB border service is able to ensure the inviolability of the maritime border in this area. The rest of the service within the international waters of the Arctic at existing or established rates.

If they have problems to the north, they do not have the rest of the icebreakers of this class, they will do it. Their fleets are located further south in latitude and their exit will be immediately noted, it will be like with the Germans in the winter of 41-42, they will freeze to hell.

      ... intend to ensure freedom of navigation and navigation in the Arctic.


      Flag in hand and a drum on the neck. If they can poke their heads, then only in the summer. Normal ships / vessels have nothing to do there. They will freeze stupidly. For example, seawater may be below zero. Salinity after all. All outboard fittings will fail. Fresh water in heat exchange systems and others. It will just freeze. There will be nothing to cool the engines. And the personnel will freeze. Here you need ships / vessels of a special class or after modifications. I would have looked at flights from amerovsky aircraft carriers in such conditions. Their ships are not technically designed for these latitudes, and their operation will be impossible. Icebreakers won't help. SJC fairings are cured from ice floes. ETC.
      In short, you are welcome!

Patrolling there is generally impossible. Boatswain on rubles "sweat" and warheads-7 from echo-gauges and so on. does not take his eyes off. Intensely.
