Russia uses Soviet experience to drive NATO away from Crimea
Russia will repeat the experience of thirty years ago in expelling NATO ships from the Black Sea if they try to commit a provocation and go to the Kerch Strait, ensuring the passage of Ukrainian ships.
Russian military expert Yuri Knutov stated this in the blog of journalist Yuri Kotenok, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to him, the ships of the Black Sea Fleet will attack and displace NATO ships, and naval aviation will “spin” the enemy’s aircraft.
“We know that NATO ships are now in the Black Sea. Moreover, the USA made an interesting castling. They did not direct the British ship and their own ship. They used ships from third countries - Canada, Spain, the Netherlands... These ships, it is quite possible that they will be used in order to carry out a provocation, which should either raise Poroshenko's rating or give him a chance to introduce martial law...
This provocation can be carried out approximately in this way - NATO ships go to the Kerch Strait area. They will have to overcome the actual territorial waters of Russia. Even if we are talking about the borders of 2014. Regardless of this, you still need to overcome and enter Russian territorial waters. Even if we take the borders of 2014...
Even if there is such a provocation, there is a heap. We used bulk at one time, in 1988. We have the opportunity to stop the provocative actions of these three NATO ships and we have enough forces, our Black Sea Fleet. We have developed techniques on how to expel spy planes from the airspace adjacent to the territory of our country.
Well, a Su-27 will pass next to such a spy plane and its wake will throw it into a tailspin. After the plane goes into a tailspin, the pilot, I am sure, will simply return to base and stop his reconnaissance flight. There are electronic warfare systems that we can also use and thus, without aggravating the situation, ask NATO ships to leave the area to which they have nothing to do,” Knutov said.
