The ship "smart" opened fire at a dangerous approach of a Turkish ship

354
13 December 2015, the crew of the Russian patrol ship "Sharpy", located in 22 kilometers from the Greek island of Lemnos in the northern part of the Aegean Sea, prevented a collision with a Turkish seiner, reports Interfax with reference to the Office of the Press Service and Information of the Ministry of Defense of Russia.

The ship "smart" opened fire at a dangerous approach of a Turkish ship


“In 9: 03 in Moscow, the ship’s watch service found a Turkish ship at a distance of about 1 thousand meters, approaching an anchored ship, Smetlivy, from the starboard,” the military department said.

“Despite numerous attempts by the Sharp-witted Turkish seiner crew did not go to radio contact with Russian sailors and did not respond to special visual signals of the light semaphore and signal flares,” the Defense Ministry emphasized. “When the Turkish seiner approached the Russian patrol ship at a distance of about 600 meters , in order to prevent the collision of ships, in the direction of the Turkish ship at a distance of guaranteed non-defeat, was used weapon".

According to the ministry, “immediately after this, the Turkish ship abruptly changed course and, without contacting the Russian crew, continued to move past the“ Smart ”SK at a distance of 540 meters.”

"In connection with the incident in the Aegean Sea by the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Anatoly Antonov, a military attaché was called to the Russian Defense Ministry at the Turkish Embassy in Russia," the ministry said.

    “At 9:03 Moscow time, the ship’s watch service discovered a Turkish ship at a distance of about 1 thousand meters, approaching the anchored Smetlivy ship from the starboard side”... Is this visual or what? At such a close distance you were only able to see the Turkish steamer? Where are the locators and other equipment? Is it possible that detection of foreign ships is also carried out in combat conditions? If so, then our sailors would have been sunk long ago.

    One “but”. Without Obamach’s nod they would never have “farted”. Obamach wants a serious “topic”, but without the use of strategic nuclear weapons. If we clash with the Turks, Geyropa will fit in for them and for appearances it’s pen_dostan... But what without throwing nuclear bombs. Ours also want to hit the Turks right up to their tonsils...But how can we do without nuclear bombs? Summary: If it weren’t for the Strategic Nuclear Forces, the war would already be in full swing. wink

    The beautiful island of Lemnos... I was there 20 years ago... In the center of the island there is a small monument to Russian sailors, soldiers and officers who died or died from wounds during the First World War! Quiet, calm, there are no tourists (there is a NATO air force base there), the beaches are empty and strewn with shells with a hole (the first money is Phoenician signs)...
    In general, this is a very dangerous provocation by Turkey. I don’t know whether it’s a seiner, an electronic intelligence ship disguised as a seiner, or a ship captured by the Daesh in the form of a fireship... DANGEROUS!!! You have to think No.

    Interestingly the girls are dancing ...
    Here Kartos writes - “600 meters is almost point blank”
    ..
    Point blank for what?
    ...
    Not every type of sniper shoots at such a distance.
    Dear Kartos, will you tell me how many cables this is? Or he will tell you in miles...

    600 meters is a lot and half that much more. Our TFR might not bother with this seiner at all. What are they, fools?
    If the seiner fits into our TFR, this is Turkish aggression. And for us it’s an extra test of vigilance, the efficiency of the emergency management, a reason to quickly write off the ship...as having received damage incommensurate with the insurance compensation.
    ...
    All this parsley... and dill... spreading cranberries.
    ...
    Well, our people fired from Pecheneg... well, even from the KPV... so what? Turku is neither hot nor cold. But there is a reason to accuse us of excess, of overinsurance... of cowardice, in the end.
    ...
    Or, simply...our people took it insolently and fired at the seiner.
    And then they soaped the withers of the Turkish attache.
    I like this option even better.

      Point blank means there is literally a minute before a collision, if Russia wants to fight Turkey, then there were plenty of reasons, if not, then this clash is useless.
      If you don’t know how much it is - a mile and a cable - say the magic word “okay Google” and you will be happy.

      Maybe there was something wrong with the calibers underwater? Then neither the seiner itself nor the operation to save it would have been in our favor.

        My precious Kartos....
        I don’t need to say Google....the concepts of cables, a mile and dangerous approach and actions at the same time were hammered into me when I was 17, my teenage years.
        In Kaliningrad, at the Baltic Academy of Fisheries.
        True, at that time it was called differently.
        ...
        And then, ironically, I had the chance to serve in the military. A sailor.
        And I know very well how we had to push all sorts of Hottentot crap off the sides.
        Also, how to prevent the Egyptian Arabs from unscrewing the deck plugs with their BARE feet when passing through Suez.
        ...
        A minute until the collision....is a seiner an aircraft carrier to you?
        In five seconds he will go full backwards and dodge.
        ...

    600 meters is not a very long distance by maritime standards, considering that the ship is being rammed. At a speed of 10 knots, this is about 300 meters per minute... draw your own conclusions.. (if I’m not mistaken, I counted in my head) ...
    By the way, the Turks admitted that they did not hear the shooting and generally mistook Smetlivy for a NATO ship. Although I don’t understand why they were planning to ram a NATO ship..

      Somehow all this is not serious.

    Over 600 meters, of course it’s not easy to encounter, but nevertheless Turkish vessels will behave like a greyhound. You can’t stand on ceremony with them! The people are small.

    600 meters - 3 cables. The distance is almost critical. The article does not contain data on the progress and displacement of the "Turk", as well as on the heading angles of approach between the "Turk" and the patrol boat. Seiners also vary greatly in displacement. If it was not a 100-ton trough, but a more or less normal-sized ship, then with a constant course, even with the engine stopped, the “Turk” could well ram the patrol ship by inertia.

    incident with the Russian frigate in the Aegean Sea, they claim that they did not approach the Smetlivy patrol ship and did not hear shots. The Russian Ministry of Defense claims that the Turkish ship was heading for a collision, so the sailors used warning fire.

    "This was stated by the owner of the Turkish seiner, Muzaffer Gecici, as reported by Press of Ukraine.

    “The fishermen did not approach the Russian ship closer than a mile (1,8 kilometers), and the ship itself stood motionless. No one shot at us, and if they did, the fishermen didn’t hear it,” Gechidzhi noted.

    He assured that he provided all CCTV footage and other information to the Turkish Coast Guard."

    I think our leaders will not go to open war, not for nothing, the West is trumpeting that the era of hybrid wars has begun, no matter how much you provoke us. They will strangle the enemy on the sly, from around a corner, and with the hands of others, and at the same time smile sweetly.

First, the anti-terrorist operation in Syria, then the Status-6 leak, then the downed Su-24, then Putin’s order for a tough response to possible provocations, Shoigu’s report on putting nuclear forces on alert, then a provocation with a Turkish seiner... And that’s all this is happening against the backdrop of sanctions and an artificial fall in oil prices, and a constant conflict with Ukraine. There's a big game going on. Maybe the mattress makers have some new weapons? Or have they realized that Russia is getting out of control and are trying with all their might to outplay us? It is clear that the pressure will continue and increase every day, both inside and outside our country.

    The Turks on the seiner understood perfectly well what they were getting into.
    1 - It is clear to everyone that “...a vessel at anchor exhibits the appropriate COLREG signals...” and, accordingly, it is limited in its ability to maneuver.
    2 - Approximately 15 minutes of readiness to launch the main engine + retrieving the anchor from a depth of 60m; this will take about 20-30m in total.
    3 - A military vessel at anchor notifies the states coastal to the given area in advance about anchoring and anchoring, delimiting a special zone beyond which entering (approaching, anchoring, maneuvering, etc.) is prohibited.
    Thus, the Turks deliberately violated all written International Rules.
    The Turkish captain on this trough most likely has a diploma from a local college comparable to our “middle spirits”.
    From my own experience I know how these seamen rule...
    They were lucky that ours didn’t tear them to pieces, but had all the rights.

    Either the captain was paid for the provocation, or he was just an asshole.

    And it also happens. The Turkish Ministry of Defense buys an out-of-date seiner for pennies, loads it with a couple of tons of explosives and sends it to a Russian ship at anchor, which cannot maneuver. There are a couple of barmalei on board, dreaming of getting to the Gurias as soon as possible. Stoned and stoned. One on the diesel engine, the other on the bridge on the steering wheel. Upon contact with the ship, there is an explosion that sends both of them to the bottom. And then Russia’s claim for the sinking of a poor fishing junk and a good spit from Russia in honor of the sinking of a warship. Approximately the same thing happened in Somalia, when an American frigate was blown up.

    By the way, somewhere on the Internet I came across an article (note) by another expert (?), who suggests that with a high probability the Turks (of course, with the imaginary approval of the States) will undertake a more serious provocation - they will try to sink one of the ships in Latakia using German torpedoes with their two submarines.
    Moreover, they will do this from the waters of their territorial waters, shoot back and hide at home.
    I really hope that the leadership of the RF Ministry of Defense, the RF Navy and naval intelligence (counterintelligence) first of all considered this option and took appropriate countermeasures.

And the Turkish fisherman parted ways with the TFR, dragging his gear, at a distance of 10 or a little more cables. Over the farts of the diesel engine and the shots on it, no one heard... The ICR was crap that the Turks would now report about the shooting, there would be a howl in the Turkish media about the shelling of a peaceful fisherman, so they decided to play proactively and report about the “dangerous actions” of the fisherman. If the Russian media began to talk about the anchorage of the TFR in the latest version of their news releases, this is how this mega-incident appears to me.”

    I wonder if your media writes this? or just when they started shooting at the fishermen and the whole nato was really scared - they trembled from the guard longboat, which even during the time of Rurik sailed on Ladoga!))) ahh, soon they will put calibers on it)))

    The title of the article is “how we repelled” the provocation of the Turks. MY OPINION = 0. The warrior is marching with the DIRECT support of the United States.
    In the “you go ahead” type, we will help!? Those who know me, experience and “local conflicts WILL UNDERSTAND!!!! With direct “MILITARY” opposition to the TURKS, it’s worthless to us (history, victories, traditions and the power of the current Army and Navy.” “I will respond to the article” with deep “respect”...I am a Helicopter Pilot.” It’s not for me to judge. One thing is clear - SHOW, RELATIONSHIPS (of the helicopter pilot).
    Yes, not with...ka, but to honor the memory of the HOLY! If necessary, I’ll throw off the entire “wallet” of the Hero”
    I will answer for every word...

    They are provoking us, but we need to “shoot down” not just some seiner, but several airplanes. Better at a time. And with a seiner, they will make us out to be the aggressor. “Patience and work...” Their planes won’t sit in their nests for long, so they provoke so that the score becomes 1:1. They say, they’ve made peace. It is forbidden! Only a few planes!

    This is the right decision, and then finish it off through deep channels.

    Yes, let's also not make a kangaroo out of a flea. I go to those places all the time. Fishermen don’t give a damn who you are...military or civilian. They need fish. 600 m? What are you laughing at? For them, get used to it like two fingers, don’t yell at them. Beware of fishermen and fools.
