Dec 15, 2011 Royal Navy rush to intercept Russian Navy off Scotland

A Royal Navy destroyer has rushed to intercept a flotilla of Russian ships off Scotland in a return to Cold War tensions. The battlegroup, headed by aircraft carrier the Admiral Kuznetsov, is understood to have sought shelter from a storm in the Firth of Moray. The Admiral Kuznetsov is en route to Syria, in a show of Russian support for the country's under-fire regime. Along with destroyer escort she has diverted toward the Scottish coast, apparently to take shelter from North Sea storms. At 65,000 tons the Admiral Kuznetsov is roughly the size of Britain's long awaited new carriers. Built at the height of the Cold War, she is armed with Sukhoy SU 33 fast jets, KA-27 anti submarine warfare helicopters and Granit - NATO designation "Shipwreck" anti ship missiles. There is one major difference from cold war times: back then a Nimrod would have been used to keep a watchful eye on the visitors. Even so, defence has managed to keep close enough tabs on the fleet to send HMS York all the way from Portsmouth to escort the ships. So far the biggest row caused by the stopover is about dumping waste overboard. Even if this visit is down to the weather, state radio service the Voice of Russia rather ominously warns of imminent flight trials of the carrier's air group.

@Allen20141 You think I just made it up? Simple fact was there was bad communication between the different emergency services, the operation was perfect the special services killed all the Hostage takers and did battle with them at the entrance as well where a few where there was no gas, maybe you should look it up before making stupid comments and me having to correct you, America has never had hostage situations like Russia has, simply because Russia borders the middle east, understand fool?

[Allen20141]

@RaaGoneFishing Top secret my ass. Do you think American's would pump unknown highly lethal gas into a building to accumulate and kill their own people. Every member of the military KNOWS that even less-lethal gas in buildings can accumulate and kill you. You're "special" forces are pretty fucking special alright, more like special ed...
