American destroyer Ross heads to the Black Sea to participate in the Sea Breeze-2016 exercise


Yesterday afternoon, the US Navy landing ship Whidbey Island, capable of carrying marines to 500, entered the Black Sea and headed for Odessa to take part in the Sea Breeze-2016 maneuvers.

The second ship, the destroyer Ross, will soon pass through the Turkish straits, and, following Whidbey Island, head for the shores of Ukraine.

Recall that the sea phase of the Sea Breeze-2016 exercise was to begin on July 18, but due to the unavailability of the Ukrainian side, it was postponed indefinitely.

Help Agency: “The Ross destroyer is equipped with the Aegis missile defense information management system, Tomahawk cruise missiles, anti-aircraft and anti-submarine missiles, the Sea Hawk helicopter is based on board.”

      Apparently, our Grigorovich didn’t just shoot himself right now. He will meet and draw the border so that his eyes do not callus.

      Let them practice ... Grigorovich has already uncovered, shot himself ... Let the Americans shake a little ... Maybe they will see our pilots ... Yes, and they won’t interfere with our training ...

        Better this way:
        Seret Aegis the lonely
        In the blue fog of the sea
        Bastions and Balls
        Hold it tenaciously,
        I’m silent about the planes ...
        Beat your forehead against the wall with grief
        You weren’t called here,
        You are here, somehow not at work.


        And they are not worthy of Lermontov’s lines ...

      With the USS Whidbey Island, a unit of marines has landed on the coast near the mouth of the Danube. Joint exercises, though this information needs to be clarified.

      I think that of course they won’t climb into the Crimean bastion, but Russia is obliged to their arrogant demonstration of force and of course will respond with its demonstration of deterrence. If the Americans pull the flags and go to our shores, they will not be met with bread and salt, but begin to push in all possible ways in peacetime.
      P.S. On the southern flank, as well as on the northern: strengthening the presence of NATO forces and more active interaction with their allies in these theaters. As a word, there are already a few left until the fall, then we'll count them all ...
      On July 9, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that decisions to expand NATO's air and sea presence in the Black Sea region would be made in the fall.
      Before that, experts at the American military-analytical company Stratfor said that Russia would have to deal with more frequent sorties by the North Atlantic Alliance in the Black Sea due to NATO’s increased interest in the region.

      At the expense of "Cook", they are already laughing with might and main, they say the local "lockers", having seen the flying balloon of Fyodor Konyukhov, out of habit did it.
      And hot news about "NATO secrets".
      "The chief military officer of Foggy Albion admitted that" the content of secret NATO documents becomes known to Vladimir Putin within half an hour after any document is released. "

      According to the English publication The Daily Mirror, “this situation did not arise now and not even with the appearance of Vladimir Putin in the chair of the president of Russia. A member of the conservative party, Bob Stewart, who commanded the UN forces in Bosnia in the early 1990s, accuses NATO of conspiring with Moscow back in those years. ” True, the colonel claims that “the allies of Britain are mainly unable to keep secrets,” and not London itself, but this does not change the essence of the matter. “Colonel Stewart says that the NATO secret is the funniest joke he has ever heard in his life.”
