The black sea as the waters of a new war
The official purpose of the past 5-6 April joint exercises between Georgia and NATO began increasing the level of compatibility and interoperability of the coast guard of Georgia, naval forces of NATO. From the North Atlantic Alliance were part of the "hodgepodge" of military courts in Romania, Turkey, Holland and Bulgaria. Georgian Navy was represented by boats of the coast guard R-23 Ochamchir and R-25 Dioskuria. On its own shipbuilding, Georgia is neither the means nor the skills, so you have to settle for second-hand US Navy boats WPB 1340 Jefferson Island WPB 1345 Staten Island. The main naval maneuvers, during which were worked out skills Board, was a Dutch air defense frigate HNLMS "Evertsen".

Maneuvers were not the last. From 5 April NATO staged exercises with a Ukrainian Navy, adding to them the grouping of ships, with a total of 2,200 personnel. These seaside games will run according to the plans until April 13 and is one of stages escalating the situation before the upcoming second round of elections in Ukraine. NATO in the face of Jens Stoltenberg, has already announced the main purpose of increasing the naval grouping in the Black sea, raising awareness about the situation in the waters of the moral and technical support "brotherly" fleets of Georgia and Ukraine. In addition, permanent representative to the North Atlantic Alliance Kay Bailey Hutchison in early April, had indicated a certain package of measures aimed at smoother passage of the Ukrainian ships in the Black sea. Still don't fully understand the mechanism of this "security" passage. In the case of a direct transfer of Ukrainian ships dramatically increases the chances of serious incidents with the Russian Navy. And U.S. Navy ships generally hands are tied by the Montreux Convention of 1936, which prohibits "non-native" warship to stay in the Black sea more than 21 days. Limited, and the total tonnage of such compounds is not more than 30 thousand tons. In fact, such grouping is very comfortable for a powerful black sea fleet, and any problems he should not deliver. Therefore, it is necessary for NATO to get out, sending to the teachings of the black sea fleet of Bulgaria and Romania, which is called the serious players, no way. With Turkey more difficult – she has a fleet of more powerful, but rely on shaky loyalty to Erdogan can neither NATO nor the United States.
Nevertheless, March 28, through the Bosporus into the Black sea became a group of NATO ships, including the canadian frigate HMCS Toronto (Halifax-type), Spanish frigate ESPS Santa Maria, as well as mentioned earlier HNLMS "Evertsen" from Holland. The squadron also joined by the Turkish frigate TCG "Gelibolu", is a former American use of the frigate USS "Reid" (FFG-30) class "Oliver Hazard Perry". April 1, the whole company was in Odessa in the beginning of the month participated in maneuvers with small remnants of the Ukrainian Navy. Previously, the ships visited the Danube Giurgiulesti in Moldova, where the local met NATO sailors feel very welcome. A visit to the port, by the way, was the first in NATO's history.

The Situation in the Black sea, obviously, will continue: NATO ships in the rotation together will continue to run from the Russian coast. What are the steps taken by Russia in response to such? First, the grouping of NATO is under constant surveillance of new Navy ships, "Ivan Khurs" and "Vasily Bykov".

This is the first line of defense – that they see the silhouettes of the sailors of the other side through binoculars. "Ivan Khurs" is a medium-sized reconnaissance ship the first in a series of ships of project 18280. The ship is designed to provide communications and fleet management, conducting signals intelligence and electronic warfare. "Khurs" able to keep track of onboard air defense systems of NATO ships, and, if necessary, to turn off their electronic equipment. Patrol "Vasily Bykov" project 22160 acts in this pair as the power support due to the presence on Board a launcher of cruise missiles "Caliber-NCE". In addition, the "Bulls" is on deck helicopter Ka-27. Secondly, the black sea fleet together with the border service of the FSB organizes exercises aimed at repelling the aggression of the NATO squadron near the Crimean bridge and the Kerch Strait. The program includes artillery fire and air strikes on surface targets. Skills-capture of intruders special forces boarding ways and landing. In early April, was declared a large-scale drill already in the army of the southern military district and coastal units of the black sea fleet. In response to the initial April 8, the teachings of the second permanent naval group of NATO Sea Shield 2019 (the"Sea shield") on high alert given the divisions of coastal defense "Bal" and "Bastion". Officially, NATO troops, these maneuvers are referred to as long-planned and not related to the elections in Ukraine. However, the "independence" it is said that the squadron will stay in Black sea until the end of the election, and maybe longer.
If the Black sea will become a new area of conflict, Russia has all chances to be the winner. No countrythe region has no sufficient power, comparable with the black sea fleet. At least 6 frigates, 6 submarines with cruise missiles "Caliber" and 8 missile boats with anti-ship missiles "Termit" and "Mosquito". In addition, several amphibious ships and 8 anti-submarine vessels. Ukraine has a major arms only frigate "Herman Sahaidachny" Yes, one missile boat project 206MR "Priluki" without missiles.
The Turkish frigate TCG "Gelibolu"
Only Turkey can theoretically do anything against our fleet of 13 submarines and 16 frigates, 8 corvettes and 16 missile boats. But Erdogan's hard to call a close friend of the US and NATO, so the Turkish Navy will be more formally fulfil his Alliance duties and will not provoke Russia. In addition, all the ships that will desire to pass the Bosphorus, have 15 days to inform Turkey that allows the Russian Navy to win a lot of time. 4 frigates and 2 corvettes – these are the main forces of the Bulgarian Navy, which puts them in a number of auxiliary squadrons in the case of big dust. In Romania, a little more – 4 frigates and 6 corvettes with a small handful of missile boats and minesweepers. In fact, to complete the unwinding of the conflict, which could force Russia to move in the Black sea required at least a revision of treaties nearly a century ago. And some sanctions there are NATO countries not to get rid of.
