To spread: the royal Air Force of the United Kingdom will join NATO large -scale hunting for a Russian submarine suspected of the threat of an American aircraft carrier off the coast of Norway. Hunting for the Russian submarine began on August 25 and continues. NATO allies have already conducted at least 27 special submarine tracking operations. The operation, which, according to insiders, is not training, is conducted while the USS Gerald R.

Ford is the most modern and expensive aircraft carrier in the world worth about $ 10 billion, conducts training with the Norwegian Navy in the Arctic Waters, Daily Mail writes. The royal military-air forces sent eight P-8A Poseidon aircraft from Lossimut Air Base in Scotland, while Norway Air Force made three more departures from Ewes Air Base near Narvik, located far beyond the polar circle.

The US Navy also raised patrol planes from the base in Iceland and threw back from Sicily to support the search operation. These Poseidon maritime patrols are equipped with modern prostitic sensors, torpedoes, rockets and hydroacoustic buoys. They can be used to monitor underwater movement, which gives NATO forces the opportunity to detect submarines that act deep under the surface. Many aircraft were disconnected by transponders during the task to not publish their location.

In the Norwegian waters, a special pro -river frigate HMS Soomerset, along with NATO ships, which monitor the extreme north, was also deployed to provide assistance in search. The UK Ministry of Defense has confirmed that the operation was ongoing, but refused to disclose any details of the operation. "The British P-8 POSEIDON planes are constantly involved in operations, protecting national interests and ensuring the security of the UK and our allies.

For security reasons, we will not comment on the details of the operation," the UK Air Force said briefly. However, the former royal fleet of the royal fleet Ryan Rysey said that the demonstration of force was intended to emphasize the dominance of NATO in the region. "NATO demonstrates that it is controlling the situation. Either they have found this submarine or submarines and hold it, or they are not yet in them, and they need to capture it," Ramsey said, based on his combat experience.

Former US Navy Commander Tom Sharp added: "They seem to have found a Russian submarine and firing it. They seem to say to Russia:" We see you ". Hunting is happening against the background of maintaining high tensions in relations between NATO and Moscow after Russia's invasion of Ukraine and increased military activity. Violating the work of vital submarine infrastructure, including transatlantic data cables and energy pipelines.
