Авианосец направлен в ответ на российское вторжение в Украину

В ответ на российское вторжение в Украину США направили к Черному морю авианосец USS George H.W. Bush, чтобы иметь возможность реагировать на события на Крымском полуострове. Его также сопровождают семнадцать других кораблей и три подводные лодки. Судна прошли через Эгейское море во второй половине дня 3 марта.

USS George H.W. Bush провозит на своем борту 90 самолетов, включая вертолеты различных типов, а также несколько истребителей F- 22 Raptors, которые считаются наиболее перспективными боевыми самолетами в мире. Что касается подводных лодок, у каждой есть 24 ракетные шахты, каждый корпус силоса ракеты имеет на вооружении восемь отдельных ядерных боеголовок,

Авианосец предназначен для использования при долгосрочном наблюдении или для наступательных атак.

U.S AIRCRAFT CARRIER BATTLE GROUP NEARS BLACK SEA

March 3, 2014 -- (TRN) -- In response to a Russian invasion, the United States has sent an aircraft carrier strike group toward the Black Sea to be able to respond to developments on the Crimean peninsula of Ukraine. The super-carrier USS George H.W. Bush plus seventeen other ships and three submarines passed through the Aegean sea this afternoon. The George H.W. Bush is carrying 90 aircraft including helicopters of various types, and several squadron's of F-22 Raptors, the most advanced combat aircraft in the world. The submarines each have twenty four missile silos, with each silo housing a missile armed with eight separate nuclear warheads which operate as MIRV's (Multiple Independent Re-Entry Vehicles) that can be independently targeted.

The George H.W. Bush is the first and only aircraft carrier in the world that has successfully sea-launched and landed an unmanned X-47b Stealth Drone which can be used for long term surveillance or for offensive attacks.

The number of ships accompanying the George H.W. Bush in this strike group is significant: 17 ships and 3 submarines.

Aircraft carrier Strike Groups are assembled as-needed so there is no particular number of accompanying vessels. However, the graphic below gives readers a sense of the types of vessels that accompany a U.S. Carrier which is being sent into battle. Click image to enlarge:



The arrival of the USS George H.W. Bush increases the military might facing the Russians by an order of magnitude. This one strike group has more firepower than the entire Ukrainian air force and, in fact, more total fire power than all the countries bordering the Black Sea combined, with the exception of Russia itself.

The carrier has not actually entered the Black Sea and may not be able to. The Montreux Convention Regarding Regime of the Straits forbids ships whose sole purpose is launching of aircraft, from passing into the Black Sea. Russia was able to bypass this restriction by pointing out that its aircraft carrier(s) performed operations other than launching aircraft. As a state bordering the Black Sea, Russia got away with this; the U.S. may not. Even though Turkey is a NATO ally, they retain absolute legal authority over the strait of Bosporus and it will be Turkey's call on whether or not to allow the ship into the Black Sea.

Entry into that sea is NOT necessary for the George Bush to be 100% effective. All of the Ukraine and, of course, Crimea, is already well-within operational range of the aircraft on the George Bush if it simply remains in the Aegean as shown on the map below. (Click map to enlarge)

RUSSIANS DEPLOY ANTI-AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS



In preparation for the arrival of the US Aircraft Carrier, last night, the Russians began moving their S-400 missile system toward Ukraine. This is one of the most advanced anti-aircraft missile systems in the world; it can track and shoot down aircraft from the size of a soccer ball to a bomber, at altitudes from 500 feet to 40 miles, even if it is traveling at supersonic speed. The video below, taken inside the region, shows a convoy of Russian S-400 missiles on the move toward the Ukraine.

Normally, such a formidable missile system would be a devastating defense, but the U.S. is also deploying another weapons system, which has been successfully tested, which can knock the S-400 out of action. TRN is not revealing the nature of that system for obvious reasons.
