MOSCOW, December 5. /TASS/. Up to eight ships of NATO’s member-countries were accompanying the Russian naval group on its way to the Mediterranean, but not violations of international laws of the sea occurred in the process, the Russian Navy’s Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Vladimir Korolyov, said on Monday.
"This is the first time that we use our naval aircraft in combat conditions since the moment the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser was built. Naturally, this draws attention, first and foremost from the NATO countries. Up to eight ships were accompanying us when we reached the area of Britain. But there were no violations of international laws of the sea," Korolyov said told the Rossiya-24 television news channel.

WNU Editor: This is the first time that a Russian aircraft carrier is involved in military operations .... so no one should be surprised that interest on how the Russians will handle these operations will be a priority for NATO and other countries.

Spending millions (nato) to see Russia dropping the jets in the ocean. What a wast of time and money.
The Russian military is the world's best. Much could be learned by watching them. It's nice to see someone has gotten around to figuring this out.
Miguel,
Military work is VERY dangerous. As such, planes crash "drop in tbe ocean" as you put it. Russia is the most powerful military force on earth. Get used to it, adjust to it, act accordingly, and good things are likely possible for you and your country wherever you are from.
Russia may be the strongest but only within its borders or close to them. They cannot project power anywhere near the way the us can. Russia's Navy would be quickly overwhelmed in any engagement with the us.
It isn't true that the Russian military is the best in the world, and that everyone should cower before them in fear. In a state of war, the Russians would not be capable of sailing past the UK, France and into the Mediterranean for example. Let alone approach North America.
But Samat will
