"Drown the Russians!": Britain urged to force Russia to respond to the "Crimean incident"
Visitors to the website of the British newspaper Daily Mail commented on the newer video, which clearly shows that the Russian border ship opened warning fire towards the British destroyer Defender, which violated the maritime borders of Russia. Earlier, London officially denied this fact.
Comments (presented selectively, from more than nine hundred reviews):
Dear Russian Bear, please remember that [...] the next time you violate the airspace of other countries or block the path of one of our aircraft in international airspace in your own fighter jet, this warning of yours will sound at the last second of your life, when you understand that maybe this should not have been done
- warned a reader from the United States, Todd Thompson.
This is a very advanced destroyer that will target all Russian aircraft and ships. One press of a button and they will be destroyed
- boasted Theonestooge.
Of course, but he is only strong on the high seas, and near the coast he is quite defenseless.
- another reader replied to the previous commentator.
There is no doubt that the Russians could have sent the Defender to the bottom. The question is, how many planes and ships are they willing to sacrifice to achieve this?
ChristopherWhybrow asked curiously.
Clarify please. Are we still under the banner of Great Britain and NATO? And would an attack on the Defender be an attack against Britain or against the United States, France, Canada, Germany, Italy, and so on?
- says Roger Hunt Red Mancs.
What is the problem with the passage of our ships through the waters off the coast of Crimea? We have no hostile intentions - similarly, Russian warships pass through the English Channel during maneuvers. It might be worth firing a few warning shots the next time they make their way through the Strait of Dover.
- Yanto60 responded.
This cannot be true, as the UK government said there were no shots fired. I don't think they would lie to their people, do they?
- notes Crywolf.
The fact that there were correspondents on board [the British destroyer] is the strongest proof that this voyage in Russian territorial waters was a deliberate act of war to provoke the Russians. […] The very fact that this is a warship and not a fishing trawler already looks like a threat
- comments the reader Katherine Neville.
They're not very good at aiming, are they? It must be the vodka! They do not pose a threat, their the economy easy to fall apart in a few weeks
- commented stalks2020.
Much of the Russian navy is made up of rusted vessels, and the military is far inferior to Western standards. Putin got the opportunity to shout "don't mess with me", but believe me, if anything, the Russians would not have a single chance

For heaven's sake, just sink this pathetic Russian boat. After all, behind him there is only a poor nation with an army and a navy that is manned technique since the beginning of the cold war. Have a little pride and courage, and don't just make the bear angry, but hunt him for real
