You don’t need ships to sabre rattle when you own hundreds of nukes.

I wonder if anyone knows where the UK missile submarines are?  Probably in port for repairs but maybe not...

 

We should note that as we post the Chinese are busy in the Spratlys

"The UK Navy"???

 

It's 'The Royal Navy' - simple and concise.

 

Thank you - you're welcome.

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain’s navy said on Thursday it had shadowed seven Russian warships after detecting high levels of activity by Russian vessels off its coastline

Bluster t'is .. Vlad' being Vlad'' again for a bit of patriotic self promotion and the latest in a line of incidents where they've been testing the Uk's defence reactions only this time they didn't send the notoriously unreliable aircraft carrier Kuznetov .. Not over looking that Russia in its present form nor in it's past guise as the Soviet Union is exactly known as a sea power ..

I read it was high levels of activity by warships off the coast of Britain.

 

 

Yes you did, by high levels they mean there were 5 of them and anywhere in the channel in international waters is off the coast of Britain. What you didn't read is ''in UK waters''.

stay tuned, new empire doing its initial steps, already looking for ripples to rule

 

not bad, her navy still being in posession of devices that are in operation and floats . . .

 

Surface fleets are pretty superfluous these days unless your intention is to threaten invade and dominate sovereign states abroad who are no threat and can't fight back. Submarines on the other hand have the capability to destroy worlds and Russia has many.

Face up to them, that's what. Ruskies know exactly what they're doing. Do the same there or to the US or China and see what the reaction is. Suggest lobbing over a COVID-19 present onto their decks. Idiots. With everything that's going on.

''Face up to them''? they were in international waters, mess with Russian warships going their lawful way in international waters and risk activating their ''boomers'', of which they have many, yeah great idea if your definition of great idea is Armageddon.

Ships testing the readiness of foreign countries by deliberately sailing close to territorial waters. Just like flying their strategic bombers close to foreign air space which Russia did again last week. And does fairly regularly.

 

Vlad probing to see if this virus is having any effect on readiness. Of course, he's lucky that there's not one single infection in the Russian Federation. ????

''Ships testing the readiness of foreign countries by deliberately sailing close to territorial waters. Just like flying their strategic bombers close to foreign air space which Russia did again last week.

As for your second statement, are you of this planet?
