The Northern Fleet frigate demonstrates its combat capabilities as part of the exercise, “and perhaps makes the West nervous”, Indian journalists said. According to them, the long journey of a Russian warship to the coast of South Africa and further to Saudi Arabia “made a lot of noise” and alerted the United States.
The docking of a Russian navy ship in Saudi Arabia’s port will not sit well with US President Joe Biden’s administration, the report notes. The journalists explain that Saudi Arabia, once a close ally of Washington, “is gradually moving away before his eyes”. Riyadh’s close cooperation with Russia and OPEC members also causes great dissatisfaction with the American authorities.
Admiral Gorshkov is equipped with Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles, which are the “centerpiece” of the Russian hypersonic arsenal, attracts the attention of an Indian television channel. “This weapon allows you to gain an advantage over any opponent due to its speed, about five times faster than the speed of sound, as well as its high maneuverability,” WION pointed out.
Recall that recently the frigate “Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov” and the medium tanker “Kama” entered the port of Jeddah on a long-distance voyage. During the stay in the Saudi port, the ships will be refueled with fuel, fresh water and food.
