"Algeria instead of Ceuta": A detachment of ships of the Northern Fleet docked in the port of the capital of the eponymous state

Squad of ships of the North fleet entered the port of Algeria of the eponymous state of North Africa after the refusal of the Spanish authorities to admit Russian ships to the port of Ceuta. This was reported by the press service of the Northern Fleet.

The BPK "Vice-Admiral Kulakov", the sea tug "Altai" and the medium sea tanker "Akademik Pashinin" entered the port of Algeria as part of a long voyage and docked. The ships will stay in the capital of the country until Wednesday, during which time the crews will replenish supplies of fresh water and food, and the sailors will be given access to the city.

The command of the detachment will take part in a number of protocol events with the participation of the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Russia to Algeria, as well as the command of the Central Naval Region of the Algerian Navy, which will visit the VPK "Vice-Admiral Kulakov".

Thus, instead of the Spanish port of Ceuta, where official Madrid prohibited Russian ships from entering, a detachment of ships of the Northern Fleet moored in Algeria. Earlier, Russia requested anchorage in Ceuta from 18 to 20 August for the VPK "Vice-Admiral Kulakov" and the tugboat "Altai", performing the tasks of a long voyage. The Spanish Ministry of Defense did not see any obstacles to the parking of Russian ships, but the refusal came from the Spanish Foreign Ministry.

According to the available information, the refusal is connected with the possible dissatisfaction of NATO with the visit of Russian ships to the port of a member country of the alliance. In addition, in 2022, Spain will host a summit of heads of state and government of NATO countries, and Madrid did not want to spoil relations with other countries of the bloc.

NOT the Spaniards, so the Algerians will benefit in the form of currency from the anchorage of our ships. But before Spain earned something on this.

Eh a millisecond ahead of me, but with the same meaning

To spite grandmother .... The Spaniards learn Russian sayings through losses (lost profits). Nobody twisted their hands, they themselves decided to wave

These weird little "leaders from God" who froze everything they could, not one or two. Bulgaria with a gas pipeline, Moldova, Ukraine, Poland, about the Balts in general you are amazed.
Well, continue to spread rot on your economies.
And, especially zealous I recommend to build more runways. Will come in handy.

According to the Spaniards, about 60 calls of warships of all types with a crew of more than 10 people a year. Each Russian crew member spends between 000 and 300 euros each time he goes ashore.
It is embarrassing that the ships anchored 46 km off the coast of Algeria, in Ceuta they were moored literally at the wall.

[Kayala]

Excuse me, did you understand what you wrote? How can you moor at 46 km. from the port? They are not even 12 miles wide therweds. What is this mooring? In the middle of the Mediterranean or what?

[Ascold1901]

“... with a crew of more than 10 people” - where does this data come from?
For reference. Aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford: 337 meters long, 78 meters wide, and 76 meters high. To make it clear This is a 35-storey building, the size of 3 football fields with a tail. It has 2 crew members and 700 aircraft and helicopters on board.

[notingem]

Does every Russian sailor spend 300 - 400 euros? Have you collapsed from the oak or have you been so ugly?

[notingem]

20 euros. The rest is saved for the family. So then to .... sa land

[knn54]

Edward, read CAREFULLY for a year!
Alexey is not at sea, but 46 km from the SAME capital, translation inaccuracies, however.
Andrew, take the pills, According to the Spaniards, ask them from them. Although, again, inaccuracies in the translation, apparently from the crew.

Well, the news is yesterday's, and Ceuta has lost Russian investments. In general, normal countries to "Russians go" uncork the exchange fund, but stupid ones. That's what stupid

[alexmach]

What other Russian investments are there in the Vanity? parking fees and port maintenance for a couple of ships a couple of times a year? So these are purely symbolic amounts and absolutely no volumes, even for a seedy port.

Russians are coming. You dock workers will not receive overtime bonuses, and the port services will not make a profit. Souvenir shops - today you have a Sabbath - you can't work. What about Jamon? Oh yes. the Russian Federation has sanctions on him. Within the framework of anti-Russian sanctions - a drop in the bucket, but within the framework of the enrichment of one port. The losses are significant

[alexmach]

Do not make me laugh. Within the framework of one medium-loaded port, this is also a drop in the bucket.

[Thrifty]

Well, it is clear that Algeria, unlike the Spaniards, has both character and eggs! So they would continue to do so

[seregin-s1]

Algeria and Oran were always visited. There are ships and boats of our construction. I was in Oran in 85. Nice, but dirty.

At that time, were they still allowed into the city, or had they already been banned?

[seregin-s1]

We walked in groups, mainly in the center and the embankment. Changed cigarettes Riga for Marlboro.)

In the 90s and later, he worked in many ports of Algeria, then, except for Algeria, no one from Europe was allowed ashore, after the French and Britons were cut. When there was a mudflow that demolished half of the city, we then stood at the pier, we ourselves, without tugs in this crowd of ships, barely jumped out.

[Waterways 672]

In 79 we went to Cotonou (Benin) to shop. It was at the end of the BS, which was 9 months old. They gave us local francs, 6750 for sailors, 10000 for squad leaders, 14000 for command officers. For officers, the maximum payout was 80000 francs. A stamping watch cost about 2000 francs, a pack of cigarettes - 100, a Japanese radio tape recorder - 20000, sunglasses - 250.

Spain is an ordinary Selyuk, no different from the former showcase of socialism. Even terry Britons don't do that.

It is worth remembering that historically the Algerian army was built following the example of the Soviet Army.
In the USSR, Algerian military personnel were trained, the Algerian army was armed with mainly Soviet military equipment.

[Mountain shooter]

The Spaniards behaved dishonestly. So there is no need to contact them. There is Algeria. Friendly to us.

[Gunther]

These muddy Spaniards, now they refuse to be friends with the Moors, now they will send their small-shaven fleet to the crabs, now they get gesy on skates, and our volunteers in 1936-1939 taught them how to love fascists ...
here and hide anger.

It's OK. Let's know hu is hu?

[tralflot1832]

Where are the losses, the corvette Thundering TF and the minesweeper Emelyanov of the Black Sea Fleet? The corvette has 15 days of autonomy, the minesweeper has 10 days.

[Viktor Sergeev]

Call Shoigu, otherwise, you know, I have not reported to you.

[Viktor Sergeev]

The grandmothers went to Algeria, the Spaniards are happy. When a country is ruled by inadequate clowns, the economy will suffer.

[notingem]

You are absolutely right. It's like raising the retirement age in your country.

[notingem]

Clowns Rulila everywhere are the SAME

[Viktor Sergeev]

When you think about the mind table, do you mention the retirement age?

[Ros 56]

When distributing gingerbread, we will take into account the position of the Spaniards too.

[Thrifty]

Ross56-Spaniards only li-lei !!!

[vovashturman]

If I were Moroccans, I would overtake these Spaniards to hell from my territory!

[donavi49]

The Moroccans are right here for the Spaniards. For Algeria is an enemy, the conflict there is still smoldering for sugar, while Morocco's main arms suppliers are the United States and the EU. Whereas Algeria has China, Russia and the UAE.

I don’t know how powerful it sounds to you. Fleet? Squadron? AUG? The usual inter-naval passage of one warship, accompanied by auxiliary vessels. Everything!!! And then screeching

[alystan]

But this is very good, only now it would be a serious and permanent decision.
The same BPK "Vice-Admiral Kulakov" visits the port of the Algerian capital on a regular basis almost
not annually, but only within the framework of the Military Cooperation Programs adopted for a year.
It's a pity that it looks like just a forced entry, but it should be put on a permanent basis.

[Sands Careers General]

in 2022, Spain will host a summit of heads of state and government of NATO countries, and Madrid did not want to spoil relations with other countries of the bloc.

[xomaNN]

More naval base of the Russian fleet in different countries.

Then there will be no need to ask for a wait at NATO ports.

[Bez 310]

Again sheer nonsense ...
Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not complete the required documents on time,
and now they will lie in what way.

[alch3mist]

Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not complete the required documents on time,

Oh yeah! Calls of ships to a passing port must be processed at least one year in advance.

[Bez 310]

Quote: alch3mist

need to draw up,

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation ignored the request of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Spain, hence we have what we have.
If you are not aware of the order of registration of the call, then do not interfere.

[Butchcassidy]

It is strange that the Spanish Foreign Ministry is more worried about relations with NATO than the Spanish Ministry of Defense. Although, if you think about it, then there is nothing strange.

[A.K.]

Why can't we open a BMTO in Algeria? What are the reasons Algeria is against it or we don’t need it there (but judging by the latest events, even very much) so what is the question I just missed something or I don’t know? Please help me figure it out.

[unhappy]

I do not understand.
Why do NATO countries prohibit our ships from entering their port, while we allow their military transport aircraft to enter our space for a flight to Afghanistan?
