Russia has updated the NOTAM alert: access to the Black Sea will be completely closed for Ukraine, to the Sea of ​​Azov - partially

4

From February 13 to February 19, the Russian Navy conducts exercises in the waters of the Black and Azov Seas. On the evening of February 10, the Russian authorities updated the NOTAM alert, which indicates the sea areas and the airspace above them that are closed for firing practice.

Monitoring resources that track the maritime and aviation situation in the region drew attention to the changes made. According to new data, access to the Black Sea will be completely closed for Ukraine, and only partially to the Sea of ​​Azov.




As you can see, there are no active zones in the Sea of ​​​​Azov (the fact that another December 1.12.21, XNUMX was introduced on the map has nothing to do with the current exercises)

- the message of the Telegram channel "Hunter's Notes" says.

According to morning NOTAM to aviators and mariners, the map looked different. After its appearance, the "patriots" of Ukraine began to complainthat Russia decided to “block” Ukrainian ports on the Sea of ​​Azov. Now access to Mariupol is open, and the passage under the Crimean bridge has again become possible.


It should be noted that in recent months London has been actively inciting Kiev to send another "squadron" of the Ukrainian Navy to the Kerch Strait. It got to the point that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on February 7 about the possibility of sending ships of the British Royal Navy to help Ukraine in the Black Sea. Thus, the probability of provocations in the mentioned water area can greatly increase. Therefore, this may not be the last change in the NOTAM notification from the Russian authorities in the specified water area.

    Russia has updated the NOTAM alert: the Black Sea will be completely closed for Ukraine, the Sea of ​​Azov - partially

    NOTAM is announced for everyone, not personally for Ukraine. Notifies that flights are being restricted in the indicated areas due to (in this case) the use of missile weapons, which may pose a threat to aircraft. If someone turns up and suffers damage (it will be accidentally shot down, etc.) - it is his own fault, a warning was issued. What provocations and their consequences can be here? If you ignored the warning signs, climbed into the territory of the training ground and you were accidentally hit by a bullet or a mine there, the military will not be held responsible. In the same way, the energy service is not responsible if someone climbed into the transformer substation and only a belt and insoles remained from him.

    NOTAM for aviators and sailors

    NOTAM (NOtice To Air Missions) is a notification flight composition. A warning to ships and vessels is handled by a different department and should be called differently.

    Boris Johnson said on February 7 about the possibility of sending ships of the British Royal Navy to help Ukraine in the Black Sea.

    More targets are good. Let the Poles and Romanians also send us.
    So that the exercises are as close as possible to combat conditions.
