The TSOS of the FSB of Russia provided video materials to the official message of the Russian Defense Ministry about the violation of the border of the Russian Federation by the destroyer of the British Navy Defender.
- It goes clearly along the border. At 11.52. I crossed the border! - there is a report on the command bridge of the Coast Guard ship of the border service of the FSB of Russia.
"An English warship! A Russian coast Guard ship is speaking to you, you have violated the state border, - Russian border guards contact British sailors in English.
The commander of the British destroyer gets in touch, who simply transmits his coordinates and claims that the ship is in neutral waters.
- English ship change course and leave the territorial sea of the Russian Federation. How do you understand? - the border guards repeat several times on the air.
"My coordinates are such and such," the English ship answers again.
"I'm opening a warning artillery fire," a Russian coast guard ship tells him.
This is followed by a warning on the radio to all ships about the opening of a warning artillery fire in this area.
- Open artillery fire on the Defender course. Exclude a hit! Fire! Fire at the Defender course!
This command is immediately followed by firing from an artillery automatic installation. Just a few seconds after that, the British broadcast-we are going to the course 90. And, finally, they go out into neutral waters. According to the report of the border guards, this happens at 12.23 - that is, exactly half an hour after the border violation.
As the Center for Public Relations of the FSB of Russia reminded the correspondent of "RG", earlier the Black Sea Fleet, together with the FSB Border Service, stopped the violation of the Russian border by the British destroyer Defender.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, on Wednesday, June 23, at 11.52, Defender crossed the state border of Russia in the northwestern part of the Black Sea. He entered the territorial waters for three kilometers, in the area of Cape Fiolent.
Previously warned about the use of weapons in the event of a border violation, the British ship did not react to this in any way. At 12.06 and 12.08, the Russian border patrol ship performed a warning firing. At 12.19, the Su-24M aircraft of the Black Sea Fleet performed a warning bombing, dropping 4 OFAB-250 bombs along the course of the destroyer's movement. At 12.23 pm, the destroyer Defender left the borders of the territorial sea of the Russian Federation through the joint actions of the Black Sea Fleet and the Border Service of the FSB of Russia.
