"Defender", with the consent of Boris Johnson, deliberately went to confrontation with Russia

Great Britain decided to openly provoke Russia. The destroyer "Defender" purposefully moved along the accepted route from Odessa to Baku. When the British destroyer approached the island of Fiolent (Crimea), he was met by a coastal patrol ship. Moreover, he did not just stand nearby, but opened a warning fire on the course. In addition, the Su-24M was immediately lifted into the air, which carried out the bombing.

London's reaction

The British Armed Forces said no one fired at their boat. But, as subsequent events showed, they openly lied.
The real state of affairs

BBC Correspondent

First, Jonathan Beale caught the British in a lie. She indicated that the destroyer crew acted deliberately. She was put on alert. The guns were loaded. But they did not expect Russia to open fire.

As a result, he points out that patrolled Russian ships scurried around the destroyer. There were more than 20 combat aircraft in the air. He noted that there was shooting. But not in the vicinity of the destroyer.

Ultimately, the Briton dumped. He ran over the waves so fast that only the foam of the sea indicated his presence.

Lost secret documents of the British Armed Forces

A day before the incident, in Kent, at a bus stop, an ordinary man in the street found a folder with classified documents. More than 500 tons of sheets of paper got a little wet. They were handed over to the BBC by the one who found them, assessing their importance.

It turns out that the actions of the command were conscious. The British military leadership was considering two options for the "Defender" movement from Odessa to Batumi.

Driving along a long-distance route, bypassing the Crimea. Thus, they should not have gone to confrontation with Russia. But if the destroyer went along this route, Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic states would start shouting that Great Britain is afraid of Russia and unofficially recognizes Crimea as Moscow.

The second option is more critical. But, as the British called it, "safe and professional." It turns out that going through the Crimea, they seem to confirm that the peninsula is Ukrainian, and they do not violate international law. The documents indicate that both options were discussed for a long time, and it was the second that was adopted!It is important to note that Boris Johnson himself signed the implementation of the second plan.

What happened in the end

Russia did not stand on ceremony. Planes were immediately raised and patrol ships were dispatched. Due to the lack of reaction to warnings, fire was opened. Not to be defeated this time. Beale says the team was ready to use at least two missiles. Wondering how it works out? It is a fact that the Defender would have been sunk. But would a real war with NATO start or not?

So, Russia acted almost correctly and logically! The British ship was not only forced out, but also forced to flee without looking back. Moreover, he never got to Georgia. Russia has shown that it will defend its borders with all possible forces. The Kremlin is ready to fire not only on the course, but also on the destroyer itself. They won't be warned next time. They will simply sink everything, ends in the water. The decision of the RF Armed Forces turned out to be the only correct one!
