Latvian military claim that they have spotted a Russian submarine near its borders


"In the Latvian exclusive economic zone in 21, the sea mile from the NAF territorial waters today identified a Russian Kilo-class submarine," the statement said.

The military added that on Sunday two surface ships were also seen near the Latvian borders.

“April 17 in the Latvian exclusive economic zone in the 23 nautical miles from the NAF territorial waters identified the ship Steregushchy, in the nautical miles 25 a ship of support of Kashtan-class submarines of the Russian Navy,” the message said.

In addition, according to the release, the submarines of the Kilo and Steregushus class also lit up on Saturday, approaching the territorial waters of Latvia at a distance of 12 miles.

The Defense Ministry noted that “Russian military aircraft and ships were approaching the borders of Latvia in 2015 more than 270 times, and in 2014 more than 250 times”.

Earlier, the Russian ambassador in Riga, Alexander Vishnyakov, repeatedly stated that "all flights of the Russian Aerospace Forces and the movement of ships are carried out in strict accordance with international legal norms."

For this, Latvia must provide a breakdown of all damage by years of occupation. Payment will be made for each year in Soviet rubles of a given year at the euro exchange rate for a given year. smile

    In the Latvian exclusive economic zone, 21 nautical miles from the territorial waters of the NAF, a Russian submarine of the "Kilo" class was identified today


    Are they afraid that the trawl boat passed through the "exclusive economic zone"? Sprat missing? Or the sprats were "aggressively" scared away and those, with fright, lost several "kilos" in weight. laughing
    Adult uncles from the Baltic States with their "calculations" somehow look pitiful
    The Defense Ministry noted that “Russian military aircraft and ships were approaching the borders of Latvia in 2015 more than 270 times, and in 2014 more than 250 times”.

    I, as a resident and citizen of Latvia, declare with all responsibility that Latvia itself, not the first decade, has been continuously spinning at the Russian border! Although some believe that Russia is constantly spinning around the borders of Latvia itself. lol

    I can’t laugh without Latvia. It is necessary to scatter about five old reconscopes to a piece of polystyrene attached to their base, along the border in the neutral --- the reaction will be fun --- and we will go to failure !!!

    Do not even pay attention to the hysteria of Latvia.

    It's detected, it's detected, what's the problem? The sailors did not go to the beach.

    Well, what can I say? Well done. Now they will ask for money for this matter and send more tanks.

    The situation is funny, the little dog barked (Latvia is working off cookies), and dear Russians unanimously attacked Mosechka. Admins is news on a global scale, worthy of discussion on a fairly respected site. I think you need to have at least some kind of conscience when offering material. After all, in fact, the NK and the submarines just passed by the territorial waters, where and what can be understood and discussed? Yapping fact? So it became just a routine, Why blow bubbles out of nothing. And this topic is not alone. The thought creeps in about the hand of the regional committee.

    within 21 nautical miles from territorial waters

    And just now I saw a car with Latvian license plates in the yard, they are preparing for occupation, scoundrels!)) But seriously, on the one hand, within the boundaries of the relatively small Baltic Sea, 21 miles is quite far. On the other hand, upon closer examination of the Latvian Navy and Air Force, I was unable to detect equipment that would not only allow one to distinguish one submarine from another, but also to detect one otherwise than visually.

    Here are the clowns, again they mistook a school of sprat for a boat. Where did it surface, near Jurmala or in the Daugava near Riga? Don't disgrace the normal Latvians, the poor ones.
