15

A British carrier strike group led by the aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth reached the Gulf of Aden on its way to the coast of China, where it conducted exercises with ships of the Japanese Navy. This was reported by the Japanese Ministry of Defense.


According to the head of the Japanese military department, Nobuo Kishi, the joint exercises of the Japanese Navy and the British AUG were held in the Gulf of Aden in the Arabian Sea on July 11 and 12. As part of the exercises, joint counteraction to pirates was worked out. Details of the exercises are not given, but it is emphasized that the ships of the US Navy and the Royal fleet Netherlands, part of the British AUG.

As specified on Twitter on the page of the commander of the British AUG, the destroyer Setogiri took part in the exercises from Japan. At the same time, it is emphasized that upon arrival in the Asia-Pacific region, the aircraft carrier, together with a cover group, will conduct full-fledged exercises with the Japanese Self-Defense Forces Navy. Such are the plans of the commander of the AUG, according to the records.

The carrier group, led by HMS Queen Elizabeth, left the coast of Great Britain on May 22, embarking on a 28-week trek off the coast of China. One of the tasks of the British AUG will be to demonstrate the "sea power" of Great Britain, "send a signal" to China and "contain" China from an attack on Taiwan.

    To what progress has reached, in the fight against pirates on inflatable boats, aircraft carriers with stealth aircraft began to be used!
    Somali pirates have proven to be an extremely formidable threat to Western democracies.

          The BOD at least has cannons, machine guns, and in fact they are intended to protect the water area. And then there was an aircraft carrier, URO destroyers, strike fighters. That the B-52 was not driven or Spirit, it would be a good reinforcement ... wassat

        British ships have been piracy on the seas in different parts of the world for centuries. And at the same time with the permission and under the auspices of the British monarchs. The country that amassed capital on robbery and theft continues this in our time.

    For several years nothing has been heard about pirates, but they are still learning to fight them, already with aircraft carriers. The world has turned inside out.

    Okay, we decided to scare the pirates, and this:
    One of the tasks of the British AUG will be a demonstration of Britain's "sea power", "sending a signal" to China and "deterring" China from attacking Taiwan.

    One of the tasks of the PRC Navy will be containment ... so as not to burst with laughter. They scared the living Xi Jinping with Iron Elizabeth ...

      The SI has a bunch of DF anti-ship missiles. And there is enough aviation. Even if the United States, France and Britain bring all their aircraft carriers to the shores of China, this will not affect the speed of their sinking and the effectiveness of the fall of their aircraft from Chinese missiles. In general, many are waiting: will the US army and navy fit in for Formosa or will they stand on the sidelines once again betraying an ally? And Xi still intends to return Formosa to his home harbor.

    The costly (expensive) AUG, as part of an integral aircraft carrier and an air wing, was used in catching native outlaws on pelvis with AK-47 and RPGs at the ready.
    Soon they will make a superlinkor and send him to catch the Loch Ness monster - what is not a reason to keep such a miracle weapon, the use of which, in fact, has no use.

    Truth. Where there is no NATO AUG Lizka, the air is cleaner there.

    They at least asked on the Internet where the most pirate activity is now - in the Gulf of Guinea, and not in the Aden
