Baltic.




This is coolbert:

MY, how some things never do change!!

First read my Dogger Bank blog entry.

Then read this from only the other day:

"Russian Navy accidentally hits farm during live-firing exercises"

"MOSCOW/ST. PETERSBURG, May 29 . . . A Russian Baltic Fleet anti-submarine vessel accidentally shot at a farm in the northwest of the country during live-firing exercises."

"No one was hurt or killed in the incident."

"Military authorities have opened an investigation into the incident."

"The Leningrad Navy Base has also confirmed the report and said the vessel fired 30-mm AK-630 cannon shells."

This is the Russian equivalent to the U.S. Navy Goalkeeper weapons system? 30 mm rapid fire cannon that is used at almost point blank range to stop an incoming cruise missile? Not really sure, but nonetheless, will give you a big scare, and pronto.

Please note too that this report emanates from a MOSCOW/ST. PETERSBURG news source, but that the ship is based at the Leningrad Navy Base!
