Since December, the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group, Carrier Air Wing 1 and its escorts have been operating in the Adriatic and Ionian seas launching 80 to 90 sorties a day as far north as Lithuania for a variety of missions with NATO-allied aircraft from Romania, France and Italy. Some fighters launched from Truman are training, while some are set to police NATO’s airspace and prevent Russian aircraft from violating those borders.

Truman - USNI NewsAs part of the Ukrainian invasion, the Russian Navy has massed ships in the Eastern Mediterranean centered on its sole foreign naval base in Tartus, Syria. Those forces include two Slava-class guided-missile cruisers – RTS Marshal Ustinov (055) and RFS Varyag (011) – designed to take on U.S. and NATO aircraft carriers.
The Truman CSG is joined in the Mediterranean by other ships from NATO, including FS Charles De Gaulle (R 91) and the Italian aircraft carrier ITS Cavour (CVH 550). But Russian ships and submarines are also in the area, Del Toro said. Deterring those ships operating in the Eastern Mediterranean are a major part of the Truman CSG’s mission as well as the policing operation over NATO countries in Europe.
Flight ops just outside of the war zone.

Not necessarily, those cruise missiles fly like a plane along whatever path is programmed into them.This might be significant because recent missile launches by the Russian ships that targeted Liviv in the Black Sea had to violate either Moldovian and / or Bulgarian air space. Nato can surely insist on a no fly zone over their air space and enforce it. Any intrusion by Russian missiles and or aircraft would be acceptable targets.
Thank you, but if they went on a direct fight they would go over NATO territory. Isn't technology great.Not necessarily, those cruise missiles fly like a plane along whatever path is programmed into them.
That's the point, they don't have to. They can fly an extremely complex pattern if necessary, generally to avoid known anit aircraft assets and to keep the enemy off base as to their final destination.Thank you, but if they went on a direct fight they would go over NATO territory. Isn't technology great.
Where is the evidence for your claim? The Pentagon just sent one of its marionettes, Austin, to Bulgaria the day after the Russian diplomats were expelled.This might be significant because recent missile launches by the Russian ships that targeted Liviv in the Black Sea had to violate either Moldovian and / or Bulgarian air space.

That’s great! Lets escalate this war into a nuclear holocaust! Yippee!

Big deal! Been there, done that for about the last 60 years or so.

Yes that’s right. In their sphere of influence…you know like their neighboring nations, it’s not our business. You go fight and leave us alone.Best to just let Russia do whatever they like, hell give them all of Europe so that poor little gipper does not have to hide in his basement waiting of the bombs to fall
What part of "done that for about the last 60 years or so" did you not understand?I realize the conduct flight ops globally, in many places. This time they are actively patrolling NATO borders, for some strange reason.
Bsides, Admiral, nobody really noticed until now.
So what did we do when the Russians started making routine visits to Cuba, Venezuela, and Grenada?Yes that’s right. In their sphere of influence…you know like their neighboring nations, it’s not our business. You go fight and leave us alone.
Ever heard of the Monroe Doctrine?
Stop being a typical uninformed American hypocrite.
The Russians are not going to start a nuclear war just because the U.S. downs some of its missiles.That’s great! Lets escalate this war into a nuclear holocaust! Yippee!
What part of "most didn't give a damn until recently" did you not understand?What part of "done that for about the last 60 years or so" did you not understand?
