NATO Intercepts Russian Warships After Kremlin Warns U.S. Over Troops in Poland
Aug. 19 - Britain's Royal Navy teamed up with NATO vessels to escort nine Russian warships that encroached into waters close to the U.K. The move marks the latest tit-for-tat maneuver involving the countries' military forces amid tension between Moscow and the alliance.
Offshore patrol vessels HMS Mersey and HMS Mersey joined Type 23 frigate HMS Westminster and ships from the alliance to track three Steregushchiy-class corvettes, three Ropucha-class landing ships and the same number of missile-armed patrol boats, the Royal Navy said in a statement.
In some of the busiest sea lanes in the world, British ships worked with Portuguese frigate NRP Corte-Real, the task group's flagship, and supporting alliance vessels to escort the Russian ships, which had sailed into the North Sea from the Baltic Sea following its own large-scale exercises.
"While the Russian Navy operated in a safe and professional manner, HMS Westminster combined with NATO-allied units across the North Sea and Baltic Sea to escort them throughout," Commander Will Paston, commanding officer of HMS Westminster, said in a statement. source
