Analysts: the confrontation between the Russian Federation and NATO in the Black Sea will increase

Russia will soon face more frequent forays of NATO ships into the Black Sea due to the Alliance’s increased interest in this region, leading RIA News opinion of experts of the American military analysis company Stratfor.

Analysts: the confrontation between the Russian Federation and NATO in the Black Sea will increase


“After the Crimea became part of Russia in 2014, the balance of forces in the Black Sea changed. Ukraine has been ousted from the arena, while Moscow has strengthened its fleet, ”note the report’s authors.

“Meanwhile, the strategic importance of this water area has increased in the eyes of NATO, which is seeking to strengthen the policy of containing Russia in Europe,” they write.

"NATO should take into account the Montreux 1936 Convention of the Year limiting the tonnage, the number and time of stay of non-Black Sea warships in the Black Sea, but the multinational forces of the alliance can bypass the restrictions by recruiting their fleet with ships from several countries and resorting to their rotation."

That is why "at the next summit, which will take place on July 8-9 in Warsaw, the possibility of strengthening the joint naval forces of the alliance in the Black Sea will be discussed," experts explain.

In their opinion, not all NATO countries will support the idea of ​​building up forces in the region. "While Romania is likely to be an ardent supporter of gain, Bulgaria and Turkey may be more restrained, not wanting hostility with Russia," analysts say.

The article recalls that "until recently, Turkey also supported the strengthening of NATO in the Black Sea, but in recent weeks, Ankara tried to normalize relations with Moscow."

Comparing the naval forces in the region, the authors conclude that “Russia is inferior to NATO in the number of ships, but it has many other advantages, for example, in aviation". In addition, Russia is currently actively updating its submarine fleet.

In essence, “Moscow can no longer rely on the Montreux Convention - NATO will look for ways to circumvent the restrictions and ensure the leadership of its naval forces in the region, but Russia's position on the Crimean peninsula gives it a significant advantage over the alliance,” the experts conclude.

          Good mining of the main fairways is said to significantly reduce "increased interest


          And what for? NATO members wave their fists after a fight. Their actions resemble the behavior of a boxer after a good knockdown, he staggers, mutters something through the mouthpiece, waving his arms out into the void. The trainer is einy, with a clever look, seeks compensation for the Crimea, something "reinforces", something "reorganizes", something "organizes". Kudaaa, honey! All Crimea is not in the NATO scheme. Was and swam. For Crimea is something that locks up any fleet, of any Black Sea country, at its berths. And no matter how many ships there are not a handful, they are all easily defeated targets. But then the entire military infrastructure of the Crimea is being sharpened.

        Of course. The enemy will not get to the Caspian Sea while Iran is standing.

        And the Black Sea is easy. Here, I think everyone will agree. that the USSR is not, unfortunately, and will not work purely by force to oppose NATO and Turkey
        The solution is probably in the right diplomatic maneuver, to find a compromise with Turkey - threatening her with military force and at the same time her economic interests and seek a compromise - and for the time being have been forced (but there would have been times of the Golden Horde or Attila or the USSR and there was no need to find a compromise would - all issues were resolved quickly and specifically)

          I think that is why all the fuss started. Crimea is a strategic point - having gained control over it, Russia has changed the balance of power in the Black Sea

          Admiral Makarov worked on the issue of blocking the Bosphorus, and in the spring of 1917 the Bolsheviks did everything to save the ally of their "friends" the Germans. Admiral KOLCHAK was preparing a landing operation to seize the Dardanelles, and this turned Turkey off from the war and in the future gave Russia big dividends. Remember the story that happened in May at the Black Sea Fleet?

      The Montreux Convention does not allow an aircraft carrier to enter the Black Sea, then the tonnage of ships of non-Black Sea countries will be exceeded.
      The problem is that Crimea has such a geographical position that allows you to control the entire water area of ​​the Black World from land and any deployment of the fleet of NATO countries can do nothing about it. This is not what the Americans like, we took their place, this is what the NATO countries did to control the whole region and part of the countries!

    By 1945, it became clear that the fleet was losing aircraft, and with the advent of anti-ship missiles, especially those from the USSR-Russia, or electronic warfare systems like the Khibiny, Amer’s ships became simply not very stable flag demonstrators. Well, it's like in Turkey in 2014, when Ukrainians teased Russian tourists with their chants and flags.

    The alliance understands very well what are (in general) the capabilities of the RF Armed Forces (including the fleet) to destroy any targets in the Black Sea, including underwater ones! To somehow indicate this presence, the multinational forces of the alliance will use the tactics of rotating ships from several countries, which will help them bypass the restrictions of the Montreux Convention of 1936. After the annexation of Crimea to Russia, the US and NATO warships no longer have a chance to survive in the Black Sea and our "partners" know about it!

      I don’t think that the United States and NATO will increase the ship’s composition in the region, most likely the 1-in destroyer like Arly-Burke or the Ticonderoga cruiser will go into the Black Sea. It is more likely that they will deploy fighters with anti-ship missiles in Romania and northern Turkey, it is also possible to deploy anti-submarine aircraft P-8 Poseidon and coastal anti-ship systems with Harpoon missiles.
      All the same, with ships everything is quite complicated and expensive, you need to equip a base for basing, and the Black Sea is almost completely shot by our bastions, so ships are too vulnerable.

They preferred the first to NATO, but this is a losing business. The only bad thing is that the Black Sea Fleet in our country is not sufficiently developed.

    “At the next summit, which will be held on July 8–9 in Warsaw, the possibility of strengthening the joint naval forces of the alliance in the Black Sea will be discussed”
    Dear forum users, I have an idea - it consists in forecasting the results of this gathering in Poland.
    My prediction:
    1. An increase in NATO spending for Europe.
    2. Russia threat number 1 as never before
    3. The implementation of the supply of arms in 404.
    4. possible adoption as associative friends (in short mongrel at hand) Moldova Ukraine Georgia.
    5. Deployment of new large NATO and lice bases there.
    6. The increase in bases in Japan and Korea (against China).
    7. And as a science fiction they’ll come up with something regarding Kaliningrad.

    In terms of ship composition, the Black Sea Fleet is being updated, there are already 3 Varshavyanka and Frigate Admiral Grigorovich, as a result there will be 6 Varshavyanka + 1 submarine of the project Paltus Alrosa, 6 Frigates of the project 11356 (Admiral Grigorovich the first ship in the series), in addition, it seems that construction of corvettes for the Black Sea Fleet is planned. There are coastal anti-ship complexes of the bastion; eventually, hypersonic Zircon missiles will appear. Also, do not forget about anti-submarine aviation.
    In the event of a flotilla of NATO ships in the Black Sea, it will be possible to respond by increasing the number of Su-30SM fighters capable of carrying anti-ship missiles, increasing the number of Bastions and strengthening air defense of the Crimean peninsula and the area near Novorossiysk. This will be a fairly cheap and effective way to counter the NATO flotilla.

    “After the Crimea became part of Russia in 2014, the balance of forces in the Black Sea changed. Ukraine has been ousted from the arena, while Moscow has strengthened its fleet, ”note the report’s authors.

    Analysts-experts admitted that Crimea became part of Russia, and not annexed.

    But I really wanted to place a civilian base in Crimea. But no. Not fused. Our Crimea. Our Black Sea.

    KMK, the states cannot come up with anything original, and provoke our reaction, which can be interpreted as aggression. There are several options. The oldest - provocations in the LPNR, but there - it does not work ... Turkey - failed, but an attempt to exacerbate the situation in the Black Sea region is likely. Transnistria, for example, or Georgia will "dare". At the extreme, they will start shooting at the borders of the Tribaltik and declare a blockade to the special Kaliningrad region. I'm afraid that not answering will not work. The question is in order of answer: should it be proportionate and against the insolent, or immediately by states? It seems to me that the best answer would be a tsunami from a landslide on Hilo ... If they do not understand, then a tsunami from a landslide on Palma. How to cause landslides and tsunamis? Was a method developed from an MHD generator in the Rode? The problem is only in its delivery and justification for carrying out, allegedly, work.

    Erdogan may make a surprise on the NATO Alliance. Why does he need NATO’s ships in the Black Sea when, in fact, it has weight on the sea from the Russian Federation. It is not profitable for him to launch a NATO fleet, not only because of rapprochement with Russia, but also because there was no help from their alliance, and there were promises. Erdogan’s support for Kurds by the Americans did not go unnoticed. In the best case, Erdogan will remain silent, or, according to the Eastern tradition, he will bargain. It is curious for the Russian Federation how Erdogan will behave at a NATO meeting, unless of course something can depend on Turkey there.

    America has no choice but to look in all directions for Russia's weaknesses. They think how they will feel for it, they will begin to untwist it. Freaks.
