Barents Sea is also one of the most famous places for the Soviet Union to confront NATO , because the "Balents Sea Scalpel" incident has made a large number of Western countries feel frightened. But to this day, although the Cold War has ended, the confrontation between Russia in NATO and Russia in the Barents Sea has not stopped. The USS Ford nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is currently the most advanced nuclear-powered aviation in the world. The carrier , the USS Ford nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is also planning to conduct its first combat deployment in the fall of 2022. When the US let the USS Ford perform combat deployment, it did not focus its attention on the Asia-Pacific, but instead focused its attention on the Barents Sea and wanted to conduct joint operations with multiple NATO member states. As the United States now focuses on the Barents Sea, its purpose is quite clear, which is to point its sword at Russia.
Now is a critical moment of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and most of Russia's energy is focused on special military operations against Ukraine. In addition, Russia's only aircraft carrier, , cannot be used. It is precisely because of this that the United States will let the Ford nuclear-powered aircraft carrier deter Russia and show its power at Russia's doorstep. However, just before the US Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier headed to show its power at Russia's doorstep, Russia had rarely set up multiple military exercise restricted areas in the Barents Sea.
Judging from the current public navigation notice information, the military exercise restricted areas set up by Russia start from October 12 to October 15. The shape of these military exercise restricted areas is quite special. In addition to the conventional polygonal restricted areas, there are two overlapping and appearing in an X-shaped cross-exclusion zone. Zhan Yan believes that the possibility of such a restricted area conducting missile test-firing is quite high, because conventional maritime military exercises will not have such strange military exercise restricted areas. Under normal circumstances, there are only a few polygonal military exercise restricted areas, and such overlapping military exercises will not occur.
In recent years, Russia has been constantly showing off the K300P basin shore-based anti-ship missile and the Navy's hypersonic missile . Zhan Yan believes that at this sensitive moment, it is quite possible that Russia will conduct test-fires of these two types of missiles. In addition, the Belgorod nuclear submarine of the Russian Navy is also currently conducting sea trials in the waters near the Barents Sea, so it is not ruled out that the military evolution of Russia this time will be related to the nuclear submarine that carries tsunami weapons.
Although Russia has devoted a lot of energy to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia is still able to disperse part of its energy to confront the United States and other NATO member states, which fully demonstrates Russia's strong military strength. In fact, the USS Ford's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was quite cautious in its first deployment to the Barents Sea, because the United States chose the more conservative carrier-based configuration plan. In addition, the United States has also invited as many as 8 NATO member states to send 17 surface ships to cooperate with the operation. Text/Aris
