"Sick of those Russians me. They are like the plague spreading their physics and family values around like some of us give a shit! Damn Russians.
Have you seen Russian ladies though? 
"
Yeah that's another thing that pisses me right off. Those legs why don't our English ladies adopt those legs?! Oh no we aren't Russians. I love you Russia. |

My thought exactly.....saves coal on their 30odd year old one and only aircraft carrier on its first ever "mission". The channel is one of the busiest shipping routes in the world.....everyone uses it.
Quiet news day? |

The straights of Gibraltar is also a main international shipping lane.....not exactly tight! Far bigger ships pass through every day.
They are going from A to B by the shortest route....it's what people do.
No news here.....move along please! |

Where and what has the British naval fleet been sailing and doing around other channels?
Just because its Russia crossing our channels we are jittery.
Bet as we have Brexit we will be doing a lot of escorts in the future. We have to standby to escort them back to Russia again soon after Syria operation. |

As an ex matelot I'm more concerned about the Chinese Navy having it's first sortie into the Med since the 15th century. The Russian Navy is pretty much obsolete. They sailed through the Channel cos the Atlantic is a bit Harry Roughers and they might take some big goffers inboard.

WE don't need to be worried. The people of Aleppo need to be worried, because i suspect, that the Russians have some near out of date ordnance that needs dropping on hospitals and market places. |

Lol (there's yer "lol", OP) - the British navy is deployed, stretched and substantially in dock being fixed. There's not an awful lot left atm.
Hence being able to scramble a frigate and an I-destroyer...
Leave them alone. "We" can't do anything else.

I am not sure they are taking the shortest route. From the North Cape to Gibraltar the shortest route seems to be between the Shetland Islands and the Faeroes, then west of Scotland and Ireland. Of course that would be out in the deep blue oggin, but I do think it may be a bit of a dick measuring contest, possibly a little diversion in response to Boris's comments in Parliament.
That said their carrier did seem to be producing a lot of black smoke which might mean all is not well in the engine room.

Perhaps many will correct me on this, but is not escorting a foreign warship in or near our territorial waters a form of etiquette? To prevent any misunderstandings? |

Considering they sailed through international waters then they have done nothing wrong.

We were just monitoring them due to the issues between us and Russia. Security reasons really. They actually laughed at our 'row boat's, even though their 'flagship' was built in 85.
Pretty sure we would have wiped them out if they attacked us..
Anyway, they were heading off to Syria to flex their muscles as they are trying to show the world that we should fear them. I actually laughed when I read that.

We sent HMS Duncan.. Type 45 destroyer (6 years old) which is the most advanced destroyer in operation.. It was accompanied with a Frigate which can't remember what it was..
However, with is being brits, that class (electric propulsion system) failed in the warmer seas and had to be towed back to be fixed. Some design expert decided it was a good idea to build something that would only work in the north Sea or Atlantic ocean.. Lol
Worst thing is, that new stealth warship that US have just launched uses the same electric propulsion system designed the same guy...

Presuming this is part of the northern fleet and they've sailed through the Barents sea and the Norwegian sea come down the north sea and through the straights of Dover, they've passed by a load of countries, I didn't see them making a big fuss, who knows where there going, after the break more speculation hey!. |

I watched the fleet pass from the white cliffs (I was walking the dog!) and a couple of things struck me.
Firstly, the press reports of it being a knackered boat looked pretty accurate to me. I wasn't sure if the thing was under steam or they were electing a new pope with the amount of smoke pouring from it!
And it was moving so slowly the cross channel ferries were having to dodge round it. One of the watchers (the cliffs were packed) said it was to save fuel. Personally to me it was to give everyone a good look and to send a message of power. It was just posturing and to be honest the thing looked so old and decrepit it failed. |

It was built in 85. No such thing as reliability back in them days.. Especially if it was built in Russia..
If they want to show their strength, modernise the fleet.. Bit like what we're doing..
The vtol aircraft that we have (dambuster squadron) is awesome piece of kit.. They will run off the Elizabeth class carrier when they are built n in operation (which in itself is a brute) |

"To put into perspective, the Russian carrier has a displacement of 55,000 tonnes, pretty small to our 2 (being built) at 70,600 tonnes.."
.
So we haven't got any aircraft carriers then but because there's is old were somehow better than them?.
Oh lord it really was a dick measuring contest |

If Russia wanted to attack you wouldn't know about it until it was to late.
The TU-95 has been modified to carry a new air to surface nuclear bomb that is capable of being fired from 1200 miles away.
By the time the UK scrambled any aircraft the TU-95 would have fired and be heading for home.
Don't worry about the things you can see. Worry about the things you can not see but know exist. |

The west coast of Scotland is the location of our own huge nuclear submarine base!
My ex worked on nuclear subs during the height of the Cold War and from some of the stories he told it wasn't unusual to almost bump into Russian subs in our waters.
That was just one ship on top of the water...

Not sure what with, Daring class is the world's best air defence ship but is very limited in what else it can do. Duke class much better all rounder but even so, only one of each. True, their carrier's aircraft would be mini-subs the moment they lifted off but those Russian anti-ship missiles are no joke. Still, we'd find out whether our kit worked! |

Very not awesome! Even if they perform as advertised they have short range and low weapons load. And they are not working as well as they should. Very worrying indeed given the investment in money into the programme and ships, the QE class, that won't fly anything else fixed wing as no catapults. |

Air: our Typhoons more than a match for anything they've got. But zero maritime patrol aircraft when most of our trade comes by sea.
Sea: we've got some really good stuff. Astute subs are cracking for example.
Land: our Apaches are the dog's bollocks and Challengers best there are.
Space: we have a big space programme but it's not really military.
Over all the biggest issue is quantity, we don't have enough of anything really. |

We may have had a sub shadowing too. But even if not, the frigate there is an anti submarine one, it'll have known if there were Russian subs with the carrier group. |

Was it really a threat anyway it has a tug boat with it because it keeps breaking down and the ships we have are far more technically advanced. This was scaremongering at its best from the press this sort of thing happens frequently so its nothing new just another bullshit way to sell papers. |

..Just to throw a spanner in the works, this could be a tactical masterstroke played by Putin.
Whilst everyone's attention is focused on some old aircraft carrier chugging down the channel he is sneakily lining up his brand new mahuusive fleet of mobile nuclear floating battle stations all down our east coastline?
We all turn around from our little chuckle over the white cliffs of Dover and it's FREEEZE MOTHER FUUUCKER!!!! (in a Russian accent obviously)
I think in warfare terms it's called selling a dummy...

The Admiral Kuzentsov is a POS, dogged by reliability and crewing issues.
The Russians are sending it to the Mediterranean to avoid conflict. If it launches air sorties from her then AC will not have to contend with Turkish SAM and interceptors should they come overland.
That being given our fleet has been reduced, we have no viable AC Carriers without falling in with the French, additionally our latest (and greatest) ships have been dogged with tech issues.
The Army is struggling to recruit to 82k and the RAF are.... well the RAF.
