Media: British Navy ship escorts a Russian submarine discovered in the North Sea

95
A British warship escorts a submarine of the Russian Navy in the North Sea, discovered by NATO allies, reports RIA News Post Sky News.



“The discovery of this submarine was the result of joint efforts with NATO allies, following such a unit is a normal procedure for the Royal fleet UK ", - quotes the channel words of the commander of the British ship.

"This indicates that the Navy remains vigilant in international and territorial waters to protect Britain and us from potential threats,"
Sky News quotes the head of the Ministry of Defense of the country Fallon.

Earlier, Fallon called on NATO countries to raise the bar on defense spending to 2-percent of GDP.

At the same time, the Secretary General of the Alliance, Stoltenberg, noted that only five countries comply with this requirement - the United States, Great Britain, Poland, Greece and Estonia.

            If more breaks down during NATO exercises, then maybe not one, but not the whole. Therefore, the tank crews themselves will not be needed there, only the commanders of the "tank corps" will be needed.

            Reminded.
            For a long time, back in the USSR, I stood at the store, smoked. There are about 30 people in the store, and at the end a little man the size of a wardrobe is reading a newspaper. A little man, in his declining years, with a bald head to the tailbone, a sprout of 1,5 m, runs up and down. He pulled himself up, jumped up and slapped the big man on the shoulder: "Young man, what do they give?" Bugai, without turning: "Here, daddy is hit in the face." Malok wiped his bald head and bleating voice: "How? Give a whole?". A significant silence in response. bully

Otherwise it will be like in the joke about Petka and Chapaev: A tank came to Chapaev's division and the division commander appoints Petka as the tank commander. The next day he summons him to him, he with a report: "... the commander of a tank corps ... arrived at your order!" Vasily Ivanovich: "How are the corps? I gave you only one tank!" - "Duc, at night a cannon, a machine gun, an engine, everything is cn *** or - only one body remained!"

      The Russian Defense Ministry is surprised that the search for a Russian submarine required the efforts of the Navy of several NATO countries
      "It would be strange if the Royal Navy with NATO allies did not notice the boat, especially since the ships of the merchant fleet of different countries passing on opposite and parallel courses, according to the old maritime tradition, welcomed our sailors in the Barents, Norwegian and North Seas throughout several days of transition, "- said in the Russian military department.

    And that the North Sea has already become owned only by NATO and the Anglo-Saxons?
    In my opinion, there is an open psychological war against our country and our Armed forces in particular ...
    we are kind of hinted at the boundaries of the section that we are forbidden to cross ...
    kind of want to arrange an iron curtain or reservation for RUSSIA.

    Of course, it is necessary to counteract such things on all fronts of the information war with the WEST which is becoming tougher and tougher.

    I believe the accumulation of contradictions with the WEST will inevitably lead to a tough clash in some form and we need to be prepared for this now.

    It turns out interestingly. So I think that if ours go to them, and so theirs rub somewhere with us. And ours see them, and they can accompany and destroy. But such hype is not raised, and silently carry out their work. And then they noticed a submarine and so much noise. Exactly, as well as about the interception of aircraft, we learn more from foreign media, how they will not intercept, so immediately hysteria. Now the captain of the submarine will get tired of the escort with increased attention, they will lose the boat and again the tantrum will begin.

    Everything as usual: we found a Russian boat, blah blah blah, give more money to NATO.

    I have already proposed to open a joint-stock company under the Ministry of Defense "Raising the military budget"- and at the request of NATO countries send planes and ships to their shores on a prepaid basis. For an additional fee - conduct exercises near the borders. Flexible prices, wholesale discounts, at the stage of approval of the country's military budget - plus 50% to the tariff.

Here you can read the message from June 7 http://forum.militaryparitet.com/viewtopic.php?id=7083
    For especially lazy, I highlight
    Moscow. June 7. Interfax-AVN - A Project 636.3 diesel-electric submarine (diesel-electric submarine) Stary Oskol currently sailing from the North to the Black Sea Fleet is sailing through the North Sea, a source familiar with the situation told Interfax-AVN on Tuesday.
    "The boat moves on the surface, while crossing it is accompanied by the Dutch missile frigate" Tromp "- said the interlocutor of the agency.
    Earlier it was reported that the diesel-electric submarine "Stary Oskol" completed a cycle of tests in the Northern Fleet and went to the inter-fleet passage to the place of permanent deployment to the Black Sea Fleet.

    It’s just that the Dutch handed it over to the Britons and that’s all! What is so sensational ?!

    “This indicates that the Navy remains vigilant in international and territorial waters in order to protect Britain and us from potential threats,” said Fallon, the head of the Ministry of Defense.

    So what if the boat was floating? But there is a reason to be promoted and once again emphasize to the public that they are vigilant!))))

    We must justify the teachings of NATO, we must account for what we spent. And for us it is an honor guard, under such supervision no pirate will attack.

    The brave Europeans, seeing our boat on the surface, were simply dumbfounded by our impudence and decided to see where it was in such a hurry, if it was hiding under water then, and it’s necessary, even in international waters, even if it’s creeped into territorial waters a little ... here they’re being led, a guard of honor is some sort of ... how exactly noticed.

    Maybe distracted ..?

    But can you hear the assumptions what the rest were doing at that time? I hope they didn’t shave pies at the Britons in the galley? lol

    The Russian military department is surprised that to find a boat sailing at a low speed above the surface accompanied by a tugboat, joint efforts of the British Navy and NATO allies were required

    The submarine was noticed while it was on the surface. Most likely, this is the Stary Oskol submarine, which is sailing to the location of the Black Sea Fleet.

    which makes no secret of its relocation. She moves from the Northern Fleet to the Black Sea, and this is not a military secret.
