Good grief. You do realise that is an article from
Voltairenet. Simply die-hard conspiracy theorists embellishing multiple flypast in internationals waters. Conspiracy loons propaganda nonsense. The likes of Voltainenet embellish the story in order to get hits and clicks on the donate buttons.
Since that incident, which the Atlanticist media have carefully covered up despite the widespread reactions sparked among defense industry experts, no US ship has ever approached Russian territorial waters again.According to some specialized media 27 sailors from the USS Donald Cook requested to be relieved from active service.
The question is why did you fall for it?
