The ships of the Navy (Navy) of Russia during recent exercises approached Hawaii by only 43 – 63 kilometers, which is “an extremely unusual demonstration of power” Russia, the American edition of The Drive.
“Russian corals follow the transit to the West and are outside the zone of operations [American military] in Hawaii,” said the captain of the naval forces (Navy) USA Mike Kafka.
According to him, the American side “acts in accordance with international law and expects the same from Russia.”
Kafka added that the US monitors all actions in the region, in particular, with the help of surface ships and patrol aircraft.
In this way, the DRIVE commented on the teachings of the warships of the Pacific Fleet of Russia, for the first time in the modern history of the country conducted in the central part of the Pacific. The event was involved up to 20 warships (Varyag Rocket Cruiser, the Fregat “Marshal Shaposhnikov”, Corvette “Aldar Tsydenzapov”, “Perfect” and “Loud”) and submarine, as well as 20 aircraft, including anti-submarine aircraft 142m3 and Il-38, MiG-31BM interceptor fighters, IL-78 refueling aircraft and deck helicopters Ka-27. Among the tasks that were solved by the Russian side, there were, in particular, the destruction of the enemy’s AUG and the blow of cruise missiles on its ground objects.
In June, the DRIVE publication claimed that Russia’s teachings in the Pacific Ocean not far from Hawaii, during which the destruction of the aircraft carrier group (AUG) of the enemy was worked out, is a “alert signal” and “unprecedented threat” for the United States.
In the same month, the 19FortyFive edition made that the Russian middle intelligence ship SSV-535 “Karelia” was spying around the Hawaiian Islands.
