no fleet tug?
interesting did not know they had that many deployable ships suitable for open water.
Vlad is rattling Biden’s cage.
So, what exactly is the message they’re sending? And, why?
My impression of Russian ships is they are much more heavily armed than comparable US ships. I estimate they have traded arms for range. Several of their ship classes are very short ranged and are obviously a coastal defense fleet. Their smaller ships have a range estimated at 200 miles.
Yep, my immediate reaction, too. What a coincidence that this happens a few days after Biden pleads to Vlad "Please don't hit these 16 targets!"
Interesting. Could be testing reaction times, gathering data, etc.?
All is well. Biden put Kamala in charge of the response. She sez before doing anything, she’s gonna look at root causes.
This what I hate about Twitter. I have tons of questions about this and little detail to even formulate the questions. Twitter’s primary use should be bullying politicians and leftists. That you can easily do in 256 characters or whatever the size a twatter is.
Gen Blather is a good name for you.
Russia is doing the exact same thing as we do in the Black Sea. They sail close to our territory as we do theirs. We do this in all seas and oceans as do they.
Surface ships can be seen and killed, theirs and ours. What you really need to worry about are submarines with ICBMs. They are hard to find, hard to see, and hard to kill. One Boomer Sub can destroy any nation on earth as a functional society. They are the ultimate weapon of war.
Lol. If the Russians want to take on the US Pacific Fleet they are welcome.
There’s probably a couple of fast attacks trailing those targets right now. It’d be over in minutes.
I just hope Putin doesn’t step on Xi’s toes as he rattles Biden’s cage. I would assume the two commies have a pact similar to the Molotov Ribbentrop pact. Rather than divvying up Poland, they’d be divvying up Biden and America.
Cool! Are they here to save us from our woke military?
It’s been decades since the Russians put a credible, blue ocean destroyer group in the pacific.
The Chinese still can’t do it.
Surprised ours had time to get underway due to diversity training.
“Interesting. Could be testing reaction times, gathering data, etc.?”
Open navigation exercises.
Competent navies do it, and it means little to nothing.
As soon as she figures out the europe thing. :-}
Obviously a Russian response to Climate Change.
The Udaloy-class have pretty long legs. If they cruise at 14kts, they can reach 10,500nmi.
