Attempt to violate the border: Russian BOD approached the US destroyer by 60 meters
The large anti-submarine ship (BOD) "Admiral Tributs", which is part of the Pacific Fleet, thwarted the attempt of the American Arleigh Burke-class destroyer to violate the state border of the Russian Federation. This was reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The destroyer of the US Navy USS Chafee (DDG-90) at 17:00 local time on October 15, being in the waters of the Sea of Japan, came close to the territorial waters of Russia and attempted to cross the state border. The BOD Admiral Tributs, which is monitoring the American warship, warned USS Chafee via radio that it was in the area of the joint Russian-Chinese exercises Maritime Interaction-2021.
After receiving a warning, the destroyer Chafee raised color flags indicating preparation for takeoff from the helicopter deck, which means that it was impossible to change course and speed, and took action to violate the state border of the Russian Federation in the Peter the Great Gulf.
- said in the message of the military department of the Russian Federation.
The Russian anti-submarine ship was forced to approach the American destroyer at a distance of 60 meters in order to prevent it from violating the territorial waters of the Russian Federation. Convinced of the determination of the BOD crew, USS Chafee changed its course and moved away from the Russian state border.
