National Interest: The US Navy no longer seems to Russia to be an "unstoppable sea giant"

The US Navy Carrier Strike Group (CSG) no longer seems to Russia to be an "unstoppable sea giant". This is reported by the columnist of the National Interest magazine Mark Episkopos.

A criminal case has been initiated

A criminal case was initiated in St. Petersburg after a fire on the territory of the shipyard "Severnaya Verf", the representative of the Western Interregional Investigative Department for Transport of the Russian IC Elena Markovskaya told reporters on Saturday.

The American media recognize that the US Navy carrier strike groups no longer pose the former threat. New military developments will allow Russia to successfully resist them.

"The carrier Strike Group is one of the most powerful weapons in the arsenal and is capable of projecting unprecedented firepower far beyond American waters. These formidable formations have become not only the basis of the US naval doctrine, but also one of the most recognizable symbols of American military power," writes National Interest.

The latest Russian weapons, including the Zircon missiles, will allow the Russian Federation, in case of war, to strike at a group of the US Navy. This opinion was expressed on December 17 by journalist Mark Episkopos.
