Threat to US aircraft carrier groups: which means patrolling MiG-31 PCS of the Russian Federation over the Black Sea

This statement was received after it became known about the deployment of the US Navy of two aircraft shock groups near Israel in the Mediterranean. The Bulgarian Military Views in Israel have been told about the balance of power in the region where the escalation has emerged in connection with the events in Israel.

The authors of the material point out that the MiG-31 patrol will be of great importance for the Eastern Mediterranean to be in the area of ​​lesions of supersonic weapons, which are equipped with these planes. After the terrorist attack of Hamas group on Israel, the Americans decided to significantly expand their military presence in the Middle East.

The forces of the United States will be represented here by a group that includes two atomic aircraft carriers, a landing ship supported by the rapid response of the Marines, the A-10 assault, F-15E shock fighters, B-1B bombers and a wide range of other means. "Such an expansion of the US military presence in the region can pose a potential threat to the Russian forces and interests that are there," the observers write.

It is likely that the placement of fighter jets as MiG-31 indicates the determination of the Kremlin to prevent the overthrow of the government in Syria. Considering that significant military sites are located in Syria, the possibility of Russian participation becomes quite real. Experts emphasize that although Russia's military presence in the region remains relatively insignificant, the strategic value of the Black Sea assets, especially in the part of fire support, is of paramount importance.

The authors of the material have paid attention to nuclear rhetoric, which is increasingly appearing on the pages of the press. In particular, many experts and analysts believe that if US aircraft carriers are attacked, it will mean the beginning of a war with nuclear weapons, even not strategic, but exactly tactical. However, it is reasonable to rush to the conclusions. In the current geopolitical environment of nuclear weapons, it is a complex and far from simple solution, experts say.

The fact is that a dozen zircon rockets are not enough to sink the American aircraft carrier, as accompanying frigates and destroyers will be relentlessly intercepting enemy missiles. It will also be difficult to impress the aircraft carrier with a torpedo. To cause significant damage that will lead to the flood of the ship, it will take 10, and maybe 20 new Russian torpedoes T-2. "Nimitz class carriers, famous for their defensive strength, have a 6-meter torpedo protective mechanism.

This complex three-chamber system is able to neutralize the explosive force of the flying torpedoes, demanding for the real damage of continuous and multiple traffic in the same point", " Experts emphasized. We will remind, the representative of the Odessa Regional Military Administration Serhiy Bratchuk on October 19 stated that Putin's statement about patrolling aircraft with rockets "dagger" is another intimidation.
