A number of British newspapers report the entry into the North Sea of a whole armada of Russian warships. Citing anonymous sources from the country’s defense department, the press writes about the presence near the British Isles of a frigate and three corvettes of the Russian Navy with Caliber missiles on board.
To control the Russian flotilla, the Type 23 frigate equipped with Harpoon cruise missiles was sent to the North Sea. Additionally, the Royal Navy’s Poseidon P-8 maritime patrol aircraft was lifted into the air.
Britain sent a Type 23 frigate to the North Sea to spy on ships coming from Russia. The Russian Black Sea Fleet frigate Admiral Grigorovich, along with three Baltic Fleet corvettes and the Northern Fleet tanker Kama are in the waters. The situation in the North Sea worsens before the coronation of King Charles III
– reports the Daily Mail.
According to the publication, the Russian flotilla consists of the frigate Admiral Grigorovich, the corvettes Persuasive, Stoiky and Odintsovo, as well as the tug Grebelsky and the tanker Kama.
The British media recall that hundreds of leading politicians from around the world will gather at the coronation of the monarch. The Russian president did not receive an invitation to the event, so he decided to demonstrate the strength of his fleet in London. The Sun tabloid does not rule out that Russian Navy ships may carry nuclear weapons on board.
The Russian nuclear armada is closing in on the UK (…) According to some sources, this is a show of force by President Putin and the British government fears an attack due to the record number of world leaders present at the coronation of Charles III. The saber-rattling exercise is deliberately timed to coincide with the king’s coronation
writes the tabloid The Sun.
The coronation of the new British monarch Charles III will take place tomorrow. The security of the event is ensured by 11,500 police officers and more than 7,000 soldiers, including the country’s special forces.
