Movement of US aircraft carrier strike group is a global change in theater of military operations - Oleh Katkov
Defense Express Editor-in-Chief Oleh Katkov says that NATO deploys significant forces on the northern and southern flanks, which are directed exclusively against the Russian Federation
He said this on Espreso TV.
“Aircraft strike groups are not only aircraft carriers, but also a fairly significant number of missile ships, that is, like Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyers. Accordingly, the movement of any one of the ten US aircraft carrier strike groups is a change in the theater of operations in a global sense, because the depth of the strike task from an aircraft carrier strike group, with missile destroyers and submarines, reaches thousands of kilometers. It is known that in parallel with the deployment of an aircraft carrier strike group in the Mediterranean, another aircraft strike group with the newest American Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier, which is a ship of a completely new level, should arrive in Great Britain in about a week, in mid-November. By the way, the aircraft carrier strike group also includes an American missile cruiser of the Ticonderoga-class, which can launch more than a hundred Tomahawk missiles in one volley,” the military expert explained.
Oleh Katkov noted that NATO deploys significant forces on the northern and southern flanks, which are directed exclusively against the Russian Federation.
