In recent years, the United Kingdom has always followed the United States. Although the United Kingdom did not join the "Little NATO in the Asia-Pacific" camp formed by the United States due to geographical restrictions, it jumped on the "anti-China chariot" of the United States and threatened to send an aircraft carrier to the Asia Pacific. Under these circumstances, without waiting for China to take action, China’s hard-core friend, Russian warships, swarmed out.
According to a report by Masdar News on December 7, the British Navy said in a statement that in the past two weeks, British warships had discovered the presence of Russian troops near British territorial waters.
" In recent weeks, the Royal Navy has discovered 9 Russian warships around British territorial waters. They include destroyers, frigates, patrol ships and their supporting tugs and supply ships. They travel from the English Channel and the Celtic Sea to the west coast of Scotland. The advancing waters are all closely monitored by the British Navy," the press release said.
In addition, the French Navy and Air Force have also joined the monitoring ranks of the British Navy to jointly monitor the actions of these nine Russian warships.
The British and French navies dispatched helicopters to collect information on Russian ships. The Russian fleet passed through the waters monitored by the British Navy, but no illegal cross-border incidents occurred. Z1z
netizens believe that the Russian warships rushing to the British territorial waters at this time are just a deterrent to the British "sending aircraft carriers to Asia-Pacific." On December 5, local time, a source from the Japanese authorities said that the British navy might dispatch an aircraft carrier strike team to waters near Asia in early 2021.
According to the Navy, the dispatched is a Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier. This aircraft carrier entered service in 2017 and is the "largest and strongest ship in the history of the British Navy". It weighs 65,000 tons and is 280 meters long. Sources in
said that British forces, including the aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth, are expected to be stationed near the Nansai Islands in southwestern Japan. During this period, it will also conduct joint exercises with the US military and the Japanese Self-Defense Force.
Asia-Pacific small NATO is gradually taking shape. On November 18, local time, the navies of India, the United States, Australia and Japan held an exercise in the northern Arabian Sea. This was the second part of the Malabar military operation. Part of the Malabar military operation took place in the Bay of Bengal from November 3 to 6. The
Malabar exercise began in 1992, initially as a bilateral exercise between the Indian and American armies. Japan joined in 2015. In 2020, the Australian Navy will participate for the first time since 2007.
During the "two plus two" dialogue between the United States and India in October, the "Geographical Exchange and Cooperation Agreement" (BECA) was reached. This is the fourth basic agreement signed by the United States and India, which will give India access to the Pentagon’s latest military satellites, terrain, and aviation data to improve the accuracy of its Indian missiles and armed drones. According to Indian media reports, India and the United States are currently actively sharing maritime military intelligence through BECA.
