A French vessel has entered the waters of the Black Sea. Black Sea Fleet forces are monitoring the movement of the frigate Auvergne
The Interfax news agency reported this, citing Russia’s National Defence Control Centre. Russian sailors are monitoring the foreign vessel’s presence near its borders.
It is worth noting that the French navy frigate carries guided missile weapons on board. Against this background, the Black Sea Fleet will pay increased attention to it. It will not allow any provocations in or near Russian territorial waters.
Such “voyages” of NATO vessels near the Russian borders have not become a very good tradition. Foreign ships or spy planes frequently appear in or over the Black Sea. Just a few days ago, on December 8, Su-27 fighters had to take to the air and escort French Rafale and Mirage-2000slzsd
