The French military published a recording of negotiations with a group of Russian large landing craft because of the shooting they heard
The combined detachment of six large landing ships of the Baltic and Northern Fleets of the Russian Navy continues its campaign around Europe. The French Navy has published a recording of negotiations with the Russian BDK "Korolev" project 775 from the Baltic Fleet during the passage of the waters of the Bay of Biscay (located between Spain, France and the Atlantic Ocean). The reason for the anxiety of the French was firing practice from Russian ships.

We remind you that the AK-74M assault rifle has a caliber of 5,45 mm. It should be added that navigation resources do not exclude the activation of the US Navy in this direction. They suggest that the USS Roosevelt (DDG 80), an American destroyer (destroyer) with an Arleigh Burke-type URO, which left the Rota base in Spain on January 22, is now off the coast of northern Portugal. The ship is busy with the meeting and subsequent escort of the BDK detachment of the Baltic and Northern Fleets of the Russian Navy, implementing transition to the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea and, possibly, to the Black Sea.
