This is just the usual mischief by the Ruskies, if it's not naval antics, it'll be their air force testing the UK's response to non identifiable aircraft near our airspace.
For more on naval movements [MENTION=14365]Thunder Bolt[/MENTION] is NSC resident correspondent, and for the RAF [MENTION=750]swindonseagull[/MENTION] is your go to..... :thumbsup:

Its just good old Putin helping you to worry less about the virus!

Nah, my bet is: this is a response to the "Defender Europe 20" exercise. Part of a dick-measuring contest.

They'll just be testing how good our naval response is under the Corona virus.


Good data for them, and they would be negligent not to collect it.


We need to show them it is business as usual.

Ex fighter pilot friend says there's been plenty of activity recently. As said, it's sabre rattling by Vlad.

When I was in the navy, we were always doing it to them. We entered the Black sea to check their reaction. Pretty fast as it turned out. We were intercepted by a Sverdlov class cruiser.
I was the signalman on watch. They asked us what we were doing in the Black sea. Gave message to the skipper who gave me the short reply.
'18 knots'

We still are. There was a documentary on Ch4 (3 episodes) just a couple of weeks ago, featuring HMS Duncan.
After coming back through the Bosphorus, she was then ordered to do a Gulf patrol, instead of returning home.
