New Russian submarines in the Black Sea alarmed the United States: the 6th Fleet threatens an aircraft carrier
Vice Admiral James Foggo, head of the US Sixth Fleet based in Italy, expressed concerns about Russia's strengthening position in the region. “The situation surrounding the Sixth Fleet is unsightly - Russian ships and aircraft are aggressively confronting US and NATO forces in the region,” writes Military Times.
According to the admiral, the Russians have created a “Steel Arc” from the Arctic to the Baltic and the Black Sea, showing all the signs of a tactical naval advantage. The admiral is especially concerned about the new Russian submarines that have recently appeared in the Black Sea.
In response, NATO increased its military presence in the Mediterranean and increased the number of exercises it conducts.
The vice admiral emphasized that NATO, if necessary, will use all the necessary resources, in particular, it is possible to strengthen the American group with a new aircraft carrier with escort ships.
