The United States intends to show Russia and China the "global capabilities of the American fleet"

71

The US Navy has launched the most global naval exercise since the Cold War, LSE 2021 (Large Scale Exercise 2021). According to the press service of the American fleet, the exercises involve the main warships and amphibious landing forces.

The exercises will be held in 17 time zones at once and will last until August 16. They involve 36 warships from five operational fleets, including aircraft carriers and nuclear strategic submarines, deck and sea aviation, parts of the marines of the fleets and individual corps, etc., a total of about 25 thousand military personnel.



Large Scale Exercise (LSE) 2021 will demonstrate to our rivals that the U.S. military maintains a high level of operational readiness through, not in spite of, a global presence.

- said in the message of the command of the US Navy.

The main task is to demonstrate the ability of the United States to wage war on several fronts at once and respond to the aggression of Russia and China. To this end, the exercises will be held, including in the Black and Mediterranean, East China and South China Seas. Those. the exercise should show Russia and China the "global capabilities of the American fleet" to conduct coordinated operations in several theaters of operations at once, including the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

As stated in the command of the US Navy, an exercise of this magnitude was last held in 1981, but their tasks are the same. The US Navy will once again demonstrate "NATO's resolve and US capabilities."

    the bulk of goods from the Russian Federation pass either by land or in the water area which are either controlled or fired upon by the "self-defense" forces.
    ps you can't play Privateers with the Russian Federation

    Much of China's exports still go by sea; but off the coast of China, the PLA is still controlled, and where not, the Chinese bake ships there

      Up to 80% of Russia's exports go by sea. Almost all grains, metals and much more. Even oil is most often transported by tankers.

            the Black Sea fleet and tartus with khmeimim were created just for this; to ensure its presence in the Mediterranean and, if necessary, to escort ships in this area

              Well, yes, especially when you consider that the Black Sea Fleet has only four surface ships capable of operating in the DMZ.

              And secondly, off the coast of India or China, we will probably also defend our interests from Tartus?

                  How did you decide that convoys are needed for escort in peacetime? And what if there is a naval conflict with the same Turkey, which has a half dozen pennants only for operations in the far zone?

                  As for the Indian Ocean, the lion's share of oil and grain exports goes through it, if anything. So there are transport arteries that are very important for us. It was not in vain that the USSR kept serious forces there all the time.

                    In peacetime, the latter period, if you haven't noticed, has become fashionable to arrest ships; so that the possibility of escorting will not be superfluous.

                    If there is a war with Turkey, it will be a kirdyk for both.

                      Well, since you didn’t understand, I’ll clarify: why did you decide that convoys are needed for escorting ONLY in peacetime? And I will draw your attention to the following: look at the Russian traffic across the Mediterranean and calculate whether we have enough ships to cover this mass from arrests and so on. Even in times of peace

                      It's just that your first comment gives off an obvious blanket in the absence of elementary knowledge of the subject that you are commenting on. Hence the counter-arguments and disadvantages (though not all of them are mine).

                      You argued that Russia is able to ensure the safety of its sea trade traffic with the available forces, plus you clearly meant that we export more by land than by sea. Both are mistakes. They have been pointed out to you.

                        I proceed from the fact that there is already some kind of cover; and if you destroy it, then this is an escalation leading to no one knows where.

                        And my friend, if you want to argue who is more knowledgeable in some issue ... we just shower each other with theses from related topics, and this will never end. We can talk about the ESPO pipeline, and about the rest ... which is very far from the Indian Ocean :)

                        You are off topic. I only wrote to you about the "land" nature of Russia and about the fact that we will protect all our trade traffic with what we have. Although you mentioned the "self-defense" forces. Apparently, we are talking about DBK and MPL with corvettes, missile boats and naval aviation. Both theses are false.

                        Russia is a rapidly aging country, with a bunch of well-wishing neighbors; and also very poor ... I understand that I want both the fleet and the death star. But what is is and is

                        and I have no doubt because; The Russian Federation will not allow the destruction of its fleet, because further on it will be possible to forget about its existence.

                        Consequently, a small trough with 8 pkr and weak air defense is sufficient protection; otherwise, a massive strike on naval bases is required and rather a vigorous one.

                        From what? From a salvo from an American destroyer? Or from the Japanese diesel-electric submarine? This time.

                        After the Russian-Japanese fleet, we had no more. Nevertheless, no one tried to conquer the state. But there was a revolution. Why do you think that such a scenario is not allowed now? They gouged our fleet or one of some formations, and then immediately said that they were against further escalation. Say, let's stop the fighting.

                        What, in this case, can be used to cover the "enemy" with a nuclear strike? But the current forces of the fleet will not be able to break a serious rival. The same Japan, for example. We'll have to swallow the pill and deal with an angry population, which for many years was blown into the ears that our fleet "is able to prevent any aggression", but in the end it turned out that all this is a lie.

                        But America is probably not given to understand that the global capabilities of the army and navy can only be demonstrated by a global war.

        This is a deviation however! It's just some kind of pathology, in which the Americans demonstrate their "global capabilities", while receiving moral and physical satisfaction.

        As a rule, these "exceptionalists" do not plan to establish direct contact themselves. Physical satisfaction is achieved due to the fact that after the demonstration, the exhibitionist can immediately start dreaming and masturbating and as a result, bring himself to an erection. Yes

    The main thing is that none of their morons should take it into their heads to demonstrate their strength not in toys, but in real.

    The funniest thing:


    The main task is to demonstrate the ability of the United States to wage war on several fronts at once and respond to the aggression of Russia and China.

    Indeed, the Americans have nowhere to put their money! There are 20 million hungry people in the United States, according to the president. At least they fed these people, and did not engage in saber-rattling.

    Do we have the strength to reveal the course of the exercises in all their depth and interaction, to decipher and generalize for subsequent combat training? I really want to hope that there is.

    Therefore, a small trough with 8 PKR and weak AA defense is sufficient protection

    From what? From a salvo from an American destroyer? Or from the Japanese diesel-electric submarine? This time.

    After the Russian-Japanese fleet, we had no more. Nevertheless, no one tried to conquer the state. But there was a revolution. Why do you think that such a scenario is not allowed now? They gouged our fleet or one of some formations, and then immediately said that they were against further escalation. Say, let's stop the fighting.

    What, in this case, can be used to cover the "enemy" with a nuclear strike? But the current forces of the fleet will not be able to break a serious rival. The same Japan, for example. We'll have to swallow the pill and deal with an angry population, which for many years was blown into the ears that our fleet "is able to prevent any aggression", but in the end it turned out that all this is a lie.

    Did you at least understand what they said, or is it Hitler the liberator for you? Puncture mister State Department official!

    Russia, as I can see from the map, is mainly not an island in the middle of the ocean.
    Therefore, the global maneuvers of someone's fleet ...
    As well as the current Olympics.
    Of course they are interesting. But not really.
    Such a squiggle. request

    Funny wording! I wonder when it was here, or when the PRC had exercises of this magnitude ?! And who the aggressor really is was always clearly and openly visible due to the fact that minke whales are not particularly embarrassed to start wars or armed conflicts, not bothering with anyone's opinion, but always call their aggression "a response to aggression."

    this is the one that fucked up Armenia, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan and other countries ?! Are you talking about this mid ?!
    No, this is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which quite adequately and adequately represents Russia in other countries of the world and voices Russia's intentions towards anyone abroad, and those who screwed up the countries you indicated call themselves the Russian elite and effective minieters. It will not hurt you to more seriously understand the competencies of the Russian services before scribbling posts. hi

    Russia is a rapidly aging country, with a bunch of well-wishing neighbors; and also very poor ...
    Damn, well, really, be clearer, please! Russia is the country with the largest amount of resources in the world, therefore it is the richest country, whose citizens cannot properly dispose of these riches! Our country was made "poor" by our own compradors, managers, oligarchs and other riffraff who had the opportunity to steal!

    Gentlemen, Americans, it's time for you to change your methods of warfare. Your method is outdated, so you can only fight with natives, but not with armies armed with modern weapons. The surface fleet is an excellent target for cruise missiles and aerospace forces.
