The USA decided to find out how far Russian warships approached Hawaii
The US continues to discuss the teachings of the Pacific fleet Russian Navy. The main concern in this case is related to the fact that the Pacific Fleet ships were "approaching" the territorial waters of the United States in the Hawaiian Islands. The United States decided to find out how far Russian warships approached the Hawaiian Islands.
The representative of the Indo-Pacific Command of the United States Navy, Captain Mike Kafka, announced the presence of data that indicate the approach of the Russian Navy's ships to Hawaii. According to the voiced data, in some areas, the approach distance corresponded to 23 nautical miles.
Several fighters, including the fifth generation F-22 fighters, are reported to have been taken into the air in response to this situation.
The American press, in particular the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, points out that "the presence of Russian warships was previously assumed hundreds of miles from Hawaii, but, as it turned out, they were very close, and in fact on their sides there are serious missile weapons" ...
In the United States, the appearance of Russian ships near the Hawaiian ships was called "a show of force" and "a challenge to Washington."
Attention is drawn to how the Chinese media reacted to the statements of the American side. There, attention is focused on the following: American ships on an ongoing basis conduct exercises and patrols off the coast of China and Russia:
Recall that, indeed, several times US Navy ships passed between the islands of the Kuril ridge a couple of nautical miles from Russian territorial waters. This was usually followed by a statement that no international norms had been violated. But after all, even in the case of the Pacific Fleet exercises in the Pacific Ocean, Russian ships did not violate any international norms.
