Russian ships are always waiting for Americans in the Black Sea

The commander of the US Navy's 6 fleet, Vice Admiral James Foggo, said that the Russian warship was almost always waiting for the American ships to enter the Black Sea, reports the Navy Times.

“Nine times out of ten, a Russian warship is waiting for us,” Foggo said.

According to him, the Russian ship was recently greeted by the US destroyer Donald Cook, who was entering the Black Sea to participate in the Sea Breeze 2015 international military exercises.

“When we are in close proximity to each other, we watch them and they watch us. This has always been a professional interaction, and I expect it to remain that way,” said James Foggo.

31 August in the Odessa and Nikolaev regions began the multinational military exercises Sea Breeze 2015, which will last until 12 September. 2,5 will be attended by thousands of troops not only from the USA and Ukraine, but also from Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Italy, Great Britain, Romania, Sweden, Turkey and Moldova. During the exercise, it is planned to use more than 150 units of military equipment - ships, submarines, helicopters, airplanes, and also wheeled vehicles.

American same reconnaissance ships, airplanes and satellites closely monitor the movement of the Russian research vessel "Yantar", which cruised near the US naval base with nuclear submarines Kings Bay in Georgia. According to the Pentagon, the ship can explore the routes of American submarines.
