The incident in the Black Sea with the British destroyer Defender could lead to ” unjustified escalation&”, the chief of the Defense Staff of the United Kingdom, Nicholas Carter, is sure. According to him, we are talking about the risk of miscalculation in the game of “cats” with Russia.
“The situation that we observed in the Black Sea on Wednesday is one of those cases that can give rise to it,” Carter stressed. According to the British newspaper Telegraph, such miscalculations can lead to a “full-scale war”, the chief of the British General Staff is sure.
Meanwhile, the representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Major General Igor Konashenkov, said that the destroyer Defender is a fat target for the anti-ship complexes of the Russian fleet, and its actions in the territorial waters of Russia are an epic fiasco.
And he also called on the United States and Great Britain “not to test their fate in vain, going on about the Ukrainian” admirals of the mosquito fleet”, and be guided by reason”.
On June 23, a British destroyer violated the border of Russia and entered the territorial sea near Cape Fiolent. He went deep there for a distance of three kilometers. He left the borders of the territorial waters at 12.23. During the incident, a border ship of the Russian Navy opened a warning fire.
