How to ban Americans from entering Russian waters and airspace? –

/ world today news/ The United States considers Russian aviation restrictions over the Black Sea illegal and will not abide by them, said John Kirby, coordinator of strategic communications at the National Security Council. This is how he commented on Moscow’s accusations that the American drone that fell last week in the Black Sea violated the no-fly zone. I remind you that this zone was created a year ago in connection with the special operation in Ukraine. Americans predictably do not recognize her.

On March 14, an American MQ-9 Reaper with its transponders turned off violated the limits of the temporary use of airspace over the Black Sea and continued to move towards the Russian border. Two Su-27 fighter jets were raised to intercept it, after a meeting with which the drone fell into the water.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, due to its own sharp maneuver, it collided with the water’s surface; according to the US side, the propeller of the UAV was damaged either as a result of contact with a Russian fighter or due to a fuel spill by a Russian pilot. As a result, the Americans had to sink the machine themselves so that it would not fall into the hands of the Russians.

In this story, perhaps the most surprising thing is that the Americans, after receiving a scratch on the nose, did not draw any conclusions for themselves.

“They can talk all they want … about the restrictions. We do not comply with them. They are illegal,” Kirby said. And immediately after the incident, he also categorically stated that the US would continue to fly over the Black Sea despite the incident.

“We’ve been flying over that airspace for a year, we’ll continue to do so, and we don’t need confirmation from Russia to fly over international waters,” Kirby told reporters.

“If they want to send a message that they want to prevent us from flying over the Black Sea, that’s not going to happen,” the White House spokesman said.

This directly suggests the application of a slogan that has long gained popularity in Russian society and refers to the attempts of some to rehabilitate Nazism: we can do it again.

Yes, we can. And we will certainly repeat if they want to repeat their entry where they shouldn’t be. This is a security issue. After all, the Reaper is a strike-reconnaissance drone capable of carrying air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles (such a drone directed a missile at the car of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani).

It is also used for intelligence and we know very well that American intelligence about our military facilities is sent to the Ukrainian military.

The Americans, by the way, do not hide this at all.

“I was doing intelligence, surveillance and intelligence,” Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder said of the drone that fell into the sea.

“In general, Americans are completely crazy. And to celebrate with them is wrong. Although military contacts are necessary, of course. Especially against the background of the statements of American bastards like Senator (Lindsey) Graham that it is necessary to shoot down Russian planes,” Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, wrote on his TG channel.

Indeed such a proposal came from the US Senator from South Carolina. However, it should be noted that Graham is a known Russophobic radical. You can expect all kinds of speeches from this person. Which doesn’t mean at all that anyone in the US will listen to him seriously – after all, the senator is actually calling for immediate nuclear war.

At the same time, it should be understood that if the Americans are not ready to start it today, it does not mean that they will not be ready to start it tomorrow.

In any case, all their actions to destroy the international security architecture created after the Cold War (expanding NATO and bringing it closer to our borders, withdrawing from the ABM Treaty and deploying missile launchers in Europe, withdrawing from the INF Treaty and provoking of a new arms race) speak of a deliberate increase in the level of escalation and readiness for the most radical scenarios.

I remind you that on the eve of the drone incident, another significant event occurred: the strategic American bomber B-52H Stratofortress carried out an attack on St. Petersburg.

True, the planes of the alleged enemy did not enter our airspace, and these were training firings. But these were exercises in preparation – for a moment – for nuclear war.

It should be understood that the drone over the Black Sea also did not capture the beauty of the “Russian Cote d’Azur” for a tourist brochure. The target of the reconnaissance was Sevastopol – the largest and main base of our Black Sea Fleet.

I don’t know how ready the Americans are to fight for Crimea on their own – rather, it’s even doubtful. Why is this to them, if there is Ukraine, which considers itself entitled to this and in whose hands it is possible to fight against Russia “to the last Ukrainian”? I am convinced that the intelligence is intended specifically for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

I already wrote about the fact that Kiev may prepare a strike against Crimea in one of my previous articles. For eight years, we have become accustomed to being skeptical about the threat to our “unsinkable aircraft carrier”, but in vain.

It seemed an unlikely threat before, when Ukraine was not ready for a full-scale war with Russia and was not pumped with weapons by the entire collective West. Now the situation has changed.

In general, for the Americans, the whole situation around Crimea and the Black Sea is an attempt to get revenge for the epic defeat nine years ago, when Crimea literally “floated” out of their hands. Some experts believe that the entire “Maidan” was conceived for this purpose or that it was the first on the list of the American “Wishlist”.

The Americans expected to occupy the base of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, the underground base for submarines, the Belbek airbase, the Kizeltash nuclear bunker and the “Sotka” facility, from where missiles are launched to control the entire Black Sea.

The latter is an old dream of the Anglo-Saxons. This was said in particular by the Chairman of the Coordination Council of the International Association of Friends of Crimea, the former Prime Minister of Slovakia, Jan Czarnogurski.

“For the collective West, represented by the United States, it is not a matter of intellectual knowledge, but a matter of interest to take Crimea away from Russia,” he said.

“The United States would like to build its own military base in Crimea to use it against Russia and control the Black Sea. But I believe that Russia will defend Crimea, its territory,” the politician said.

The US strategy is aimed at turning the Black Sea into a “lake of NATO countries”, while Turkey believes that the sea belongs to all countries equally, the Turkish newspaper Cumhuriyet wrote, commenting on Kirby’s confident statements about the right to fly over the Black Sea without restrictions .

In 2013-2014, the USA came as close as possible to fulfilling this task by bringing its protégés to power in Ukraine, who were supposed to expel Russia from Crimea. They were preparing, already in the fall of 2013. they announced a tender for the reconstruction of the Sevastopol School for the needs of the US Navy Corps of Engineers.

But we stole Crimea from under their noses. And with it – the dream of mastering the entire Black Sea and the gradual pushing of Russia from its coast.

It is quite obvious that the Americans want to take revenge for this unfortunate defeat for them. However, for them, Crimea is only one of the sectors of the “front”. A very tasty and unavailable piece.

Area Denial /Anti-Access/AreaDenial (A2AD) is what NATO calls places where the cost of trying to capture them can be extremely high.

They consider Kaliningrad to be the second such zone. Just at the beginning of the week, a Su-35 fighter had to be raised to prevent the violation of the state border by two B-52H strategic bombers of the US Air Force over the Baltic Sea. Whether they planned to enter our space prepared for practice strikes is unknown, but these actions in themselves are highly provocative.

It would be useful to recall one more section of the potential front – the Sea of ​​Japan, the location of our Pacific Fleet. Two years ago, an American destroyer brazenly approached the territorial waters of the Russian Federation and tried to cross the state border – they had to be chased away.

And returning to the Black Sea, we cannot help but recall the incident with the British destroyer “Defender”, which in June 2021 entered our territorial waters off the coast of Crimea and changed course only after warning fire and bombardment.

Was it a provocation, a test of our readiness to repel a blow, or preparation for a real war? It is possible that all three objectives were pursued simultaneously.

In any case, any approach to our security zone (which we create in accordance with international standards that the Americans long ago spat on), and even more so to the state border, should be considered a potential act of aggression and a trespasser, if he does not respond to a warning , must be destroyed, whether it is a drone, a fighter plane or a ship.

Of course, the destruction of a manned object is a much more serious incident, but the consequences could be even more serious if the Americans get away with such an invasion.
