The US military monitors a Russian reconnaissance ship in the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii. This is reported by the Star-Advertiser with reference to the US Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM).
It is clarified that the ship was found near the economic zone of Hawaii on January 7.
“The US Indo-Pacific Command is monitoring a Russian vessel operating in international waters off the Hawaiian Islands. We are closely monitoring all vessels in the Indo-Pacific Region of Operations with maritime patrol aircraft, surface ships and joint assets, ”said INDOPACOM spokesman Major Rob Martins.
Earlier, the American media called the exercises of the Russian Navy "near Hawaii" with the imitation of the destruction of enemy aircraft carriers an unprecedented threat. The actions of the Russian Navy in the Pacific were observed by three Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and the Sentinel patrol boat. According to media reports, in response to these maneuvers, the US Air Force also launched a group of F-22A Raptor fighters located in the area.
It is assumed that the activity of the Russian fleet is associated with US tests of new missile defense systems.
