What's up with the Russians?

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

That video from the Philippine Sea is pretty intense. Interfering with air ops to is a pretty dick move. I know that happens in the Black Sea, and I understand the Russians getting their shorts in a bunch there, but that far from home port, with out air cover? Add in all the Baltic and bomber runs in the Pacific. Is the Russian domestic situation worse than I thought that Putin needs some Evil America incident? The have any big 'exercises' going on? How about some M1 tanks for the Ukraine?

That is some old school Cold War shit. Russian captains don’t just go off the hook on their own and do that independently.

Typical thuggery in an attempt to provoke an incident. Poke the silverback one to many times and one day--

Seems like some heavy cargo netting and some bouys thrown overboard at the right time would cut that crap out.

Our boys have 2 Phalanx guns on deck that would have made the bridge deck uninhabitable in 5 seconds. That would have allowed them to get 2-300 yards away from them and use 1 or 2 of the 3 torpedo tubes our boat sports. To bad we don't have a way to jamb the coms. You could make one disappear without causing much of an incident!

Maybe some of you remember the incident from June of 2016 when a Russian Frigate attempted to enter a US aircraft carrier area of operations in the eastern Mediterranean The USS Gravely (DDG-107) intercepted the Russian and cut him off. The commander of the US Destroyer was an NROTC grad and female -Cmdr. Alysa L. Ambrose. She drove it like she stole it:

Making ships disappear quietly seems like a good job for a Virginia or Seawolf class boat.... maybe that needs to happen.
