EXCERPT:
A heavily armed warship has been sent to a NATO country’s doorstep after Russian President Vladimir Putin said last week that he was ready to retaliate against British and EU ships that tried to seize Russia-linked vessels
Russia has sent a heavily armed warship close to a NATO island in the Baltic Sea.
The ship is fortified with cruise and hypersonic missiles and has been deployed to a German island, according to reports from The Telegraph.
The frigate is equipped with nuclear-capable Zircon hypersonic missiles and was seen last week off the coast of the island of Fehmarn after the Kremlin threatened to attack British and EU vessels. Fehmarn is a popular tourist spot.
The ship, the Admiral Kasatonov, was built in 2020 and is reported to be one of the most advanced warships in Russia possession. It is capable of long-range strikes as well as anti-submarine warfare.
The movement in the warship in the Baltic, a vital shipping zone, marks the latest tensions between Russia and NATO.
