Relations between Russia and NATO have reached a maximum of tension, the world is experiencing fears about the third World War, according to the publication of the British tabloid The Sun. “The fear of a third World war is growing after Russian nuclear submarines were spotted in the Baltic Sea when the US is taking part in war games in the Black Sea,” the article says.
At the same time, the author adds that Russian submarines intend to take part in the event in St. Petersburg on July 25. Nevertheless, the aggravation of relations between the Russian Federation and the NATO countries is obvious. In the Black Sea, the exercises “Sea Breeze” intensified, and a little earlier there was an incident with the British destroyer Defender. “According to reports, since both countries are wandering on the oceans, Moscow has stated that the war games in the Black Sea pose a real risk of a potential escalation of military tensions,” the author notes.
Nevertheless, the appearance of three Russian submarines in the Baltic Sea should be perceived as a demonstration of force, said defense analyst H. I. Sutton. “These are the only nuclear submarines in the Baltic Sea. These deployments are a demonstration of strength for both domestic and foreign audiences, ” he stressed.
Earlier, Western media reported that Britain increased by 200 million pounds the financing of maritime defense and countering the penetration of enemy underwater vehicles in the nearest waters. The fleet of naval aviation specializing in this will be increased, as well as training activities will be intensified.
