”I am sure that these powerful missiles will reliably protect Russia against possible external threats”said President Vladimir Putin. At this conference, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu was also present and said. “They have no equal in any country in the world.”
According to the words of the Minister of Defense, the frigate would sail in the Atlantic and Indian oceans, as well as in the Mediterranean. Missiles are “precise and effective at sea and on land, able to thwart any missile defence”.
On the side of the Norwegian army, we keep an eye on the Russian frigate. “The vessel is legally in international waters, but as always we are closely monitoring all movements and will do so as long as the frigate is in our zones.”
The Norwegians are not the only ones to observe Admiral Gorshkov. The US Pentagon has already said it is monitoring the Russian ship but does not consider it a serious threat.
