The patrol ship OPV "Trent" (P224) of the Royal Navy of Great Britain entered the Black Sea

The OPV "Trent" (P224) patrol ship of the Royal River Batch 2 class entered the Black Sea fleet UK. The ship was taken under constant supervision of the forces and means of the Black Sea Fleet.

"Trent" entered the water area on May 16, while its further actions are not known, even the Ukrainian media have not yet reported anything about the entry of the "Briton". Earlier, London promised to send a frigate and a corvette from the AUG of its lead aircraft carrier to the Black Sea to "support Ukraine", but so far only a patrol ship has come in, probably also to support it.

It is noted that the ship itself is new, entered into the Royal Navy in August last year. OPV (Offshore Patrol Vessels) "Trent" (P224) belongs to the class River Batch 2 (river-sea). Length 90 meters, width 13, draft - 3,8 meters. Displacement 2300 tons. Crew of 60 sailors. Armament: one 30-mm gun mount, two anti-aircraft gun mounts and two heavy machine guns. There is a platform for a "Merlin" -type helicopter.

The Black Sea Fleet said that this ship does not pose any danger to the Russian Navy, but it will be monitored.

In Kiev, the appearance of a patrol ship instead of destroyers, frigates and corvettes was explained by the fact that this is a "new trend" of the NATO allies. It is the alliance's patrol ships that will now "protect" shipping between the ports of Ukraine and the Bosphorus Strait.

And what did he forget there interesting? ..Here are the impudent ones .. I remember screaming when our strategists near their island flew by heading for the shores of the USA .. The howls were sharp, it cut right in the ears ..)))
Okay, let the calculations of our "Cliffs" be trained and the Air Force too ..

- even the Ukrainian media have not yet reported anything about the arrival of the "Briton".

OPV "Trent" (P224) could come with a friendly visit to our Sevastopol
we do not mind

[Evil 55]

The patrol ship OPV "Trent" of the near coastal zone .. sorry for the sailors, on such a vessel it is so far away from afar .. And there is nothing to show and would return safely ..

[sabakina]

Why pity them? They have rembases all the way! It is not us who have to drive the sea tug and escort ship.

[donavi49]

He is a versatile person opposite and before Aden they went to the pirates when the topic was popular. Look at the size and displacement, it is larger than the corvette 20380 and the patrolman 22160. It has 40 days of autonomy and 5000 miles.

Another thing is that Europeans have a special trend for patrolmen. If anything, Govind under 3000 tons is also sold as a patrolman. And the Italians, in general, have invented a separate class for the new nedoFREMMs and are making a mega-series of 16 patrolmen, 6000 tons each.

The Germans outdid everyone. We made a patrol ship with a displacement of 7200 tons. Frigates of the Baden-Württemberg class (F125).

[donavi49]

Yes, but there is already a classification point. The Germans classify their Baden as a frigate (and the letter F on board), but the Italians as a patrolman (and the letter P on board). Again, the Italians officially call the Taon Di Revel class an offshore patrol vessel, and the Germans call their Baden a frigate.

Well, the trick is that the patrolman Taon Di Revel, especially the + and the full subclass, makes Baden like a warship.

In reality, only 7 are mentioned.
2 light, 3 light + and 2 full.
Replaces old Soldier-class frigates (aka Patrollers) and Minerva-class corvettes

Patrol ship OPV "Trent"

A virtually unarmed ship. Protect the cod. What is he to do in the Black Sea? Incomprehensible performance of small-shaven ... They would also have driven the admiral's boat ...

[Evil543]

Or maybe he wants to go to Azov? The draft allows it. You can expect provocations

[Ros 56]

Wait. Well, who will let his illness under the Crimean bridge or he knows how to fly.

[Charik]

as if he would be allowed to fly there

[Ros 56]

It is truth too.

[Vladimir Mashkov]

First they were going to send a destroyer for "support" and "containment", then - a frigate, a corvette. Sent - patrolman / half-corvette (with ships - tension ). What about? Olympic motto: "The main thing is not victory, but participation!" - flag demonstration! Could, in fact, send a boat (not an admiral's, of course). Fear, Russia is a real Briton!

[Alex777]

It became scary for the destroyers.
So the patrolmen are sending them.
It's easier for us. And funnier.

on such a vessel to shuffle so far away

22160 also sometimes run past England ....... and nothing is all alive and well

[From Tomsk]

If you do not start to follow the British ship in the Black Sea, then it will sneak along the canal into the Caspian Sea, from there to the Volga, from there to the Oka, from there to the Moscow River, and follow it to the Kremlin, where a special agent in a jetpack will separate from him and will steal Putin right from his office))))

[sabakina]

No need to stir up panic! The Volga Interdistrict Environmental Prosecutor's Office is guarding the Volga from Ostashkov to Astrakhan! I personally have already been given an anti-ship missile!

[VORON538]

You worry in vain, because our famous on "the whole world" two from the casket are already, most likely, or "highy like", on board the vessel

[Ros 56]

Do they have enough oars?
And I almost forgot, but can you imagine how much driftwood there is on the rivers, it won't take long to break through the bottom with all those flowing in.

[Olddetractor]

That is unlikely. He cannot pass the Volga. Most likely, after winding poaching nets, straps and other tackle after Kamyshin, it will lose speed and be found flooded and plundered by local residents in the area of ​​Urakov Bugra. Aglitsk Marsoflots will easily join the coastal fishing fraternity

[Aviator_]

Aglitsk Marsoflots will easily join the coastal fishing fraternity

There may be linguistic nuances. There is an episode of the type: "Venetian tourists, while vacationing on the Volga, inadvertently called the boatman Vasily a gondolier, for which they were beaten with an oar."

[Charik]

bond is now in quarantine

[tralflot1832]

It looks like we won't wait for a destroyer with a corvette from the escort of Anglica Lizka. And this vessel is only a threat to Russian fishermen, and even if we go to crush blue whiting into their economic zone.

[TermNachTer]

It must be understood that in this way the Anglo-Saxons "threw the bone" to the Banderast))) although in general, they promised that one of the Ave 45, from the escort group, such as the aircraft carrier "Lizka")))

[yfast]

An aircraft carrier in the Sea of ​​Azov would look more solid.

[Alexander 3]

We take a submarine above in the steppes of Ukraine.

"Ukraine support" ----- support falling pants, and help countries .... and that Ukraine is falling ????

Apparently, more is not required.

[Ros 56]

Immediately, I probably felt close attention to him.
We need to send a response to our Navy in the English Channel, and arrange a circular cruise around the island, say hello to Grandma Lisa.

[petrol cutter]

Well, what actions can there be?
Will the mine throw it into the fairway?
All this is taken for support. Any actions ... Although, ours can and miss.
I hope the responsible men are sitting there!

[Anachoret]

You need to send a foot patrol from two vendors of sports nutrition. This is where the whole of Britain will do it right away))

patrol ship OPV "Trent" (P224) of the River Batch 2 class

What are its intelligence capabilities?

Quote: Napayz

What are its intelligence capabilities?

But this is to the point.
Maybe not great when it comes to electronic and optical reconnaissance.
But!
Any information is intelligence.
I am not a sailor and am not familiar with the specifics of naval intelligence.
But from my profile I know that even in which direction the door opens inside the room can be valuable intelligence information.
How our Navy reacts to the appearance of a ship of a potential enemy is already intelligence information.

[Rustic i ......]

Awesome, a whole patrol ship! What's the point of him, he just jerks a little and drowns in a moment, why can he patrol there? One name for sea pollution.

[Piramidon]

Quote: Village I ......

To the point of it, he just twitches a little and in a moment they will drown

Somehow he is unlikely to "twitch" (it was not the fools who arrived on it), but he can carefully conduct reconnaissance

[Rustic i ......]

They are interested in what we are doing. Vaughn left the DON (open skies treaty) and again twitched, they want to return to the restoration of this treaty, but it is clear that the US reconnaissance flights are very necessary. Seeing visits near the borders of Russia is clearly not enough for them. Why do we need intelligence? For a future attack only. Should we give the West such opportunities?

[Al_lexx]

Well what can I say?
Unreal zrada skakuasam.))))

It is the patrol ships of the alliance that will now "protect" shipping between the ports of Ukraine and the Bosphorus Strait.

What a misery, and they still consider themselves a state ...

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

That's all. Help chubatfm is close. Utilities will immediately drop, fuel prices will go up, wages will rise and everyone will eat lard and be happy.

[zwlad]

It is the patrol ships of the alliance that will now "protect" shipping between the ports of Ukraine and the Bosphorus Strait.

Apparently from Russian pirates.
The Royal Navy is getting smaller. Soon they will send boats following the example of the outskirts.

[Rustic i ......]

Unintentionally drowning, and then apologizing, you can still express "deep concern", although this will depend on the depth of flooding.
