According to CCTV News on November 27th, a missile boat of the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet recently conducted exercises in the Black Sea region, with the main purpose of tracking the whereabouts of the US destroyer Arleigh Burke. However, surprisingly, the "irritable" Russians once again welcomed "guests" from the West with shells, and the US warships also received a "baptism" from Russian shells.

According to the Russian military website "Aviation News" on November 28th, a sudden incident occurred where a Russian missile boat accidentally fired while a US military ship was sailing towards Ukraine. It has attracted attention from all walks of life.

It is reported that at that time, the US missile destroyer Arleigh Burke was sailing through the Black Sea to prepare for the Ukrainian coast when the nearby Russian missile boat Shuya suddenly opened fire, multiple missiles fired in unison, which frightened the crew of the US missile destroyer Arleigh Burke. The US Navy randomly sounded the battle alarm, and its onboard system recorded these launches in detail.

The Russian Black Sea Fleet has also confirmed the launch information of these missiles and stated that these are all combat training tasks planned by the Russian Black Sea Fleet and are not intentionally targeted at anyone?

As is well known, the Russian Black Sea Fleet conducts multiple live fire shooting missions in the Black Sea region every year. Although launching missiles around US warships can easily cause accidental injuries and misunderstandings, the purpose of US destroyers appearing in the Black Sea during the extremely sensitive period between Russia and Ukraine is highly questionable.

Previously, Russian experts analyzed that the appearance of the US Arleigh Burke missile destroyer in the Black Sea was likely to provide military support to the Ukrainian military. As Ukraine's conflict in the Donbass region becomes increasingly tense, the US military is likely to disrupt the balance and intervene, using the Arleigh Burke's Tomahawk missiles to conduct targeted strikes on infrastructure such as airports and military warehouses in the Donbass region to express their military support for Ukraine.

Analysts have pointed out that the exercises of the Russian Black Sea Fleet are aimed at US destroyers. As the United States and NATO continue to provoke in the Black Sea region, Russia has to make a tough response. The firing of the "Shuya" ship this time can be said to be unexpected or expected.

Launching missiles on the route that US warships must take towards Ukraine is to reveal important information to the US military. The Russian Navy has the ability to cut off US military support to Ukraine, warning the US military not to continue provoking Russia. In necessary times, Russia has the ability to deliver a "fatal blow" to the US military in the Black Sea.

Russia has long had a precedent of welcoming Western "guests" with artillery shells. As early as a few months ago, the United States lured dozens of countries to hold a massive joint military exercise in the Black Sea.

At that time, the British Navy relied on the support of the United States and NATO to penetrate deep into the Black Sea and provoke Russia, attempting to break into Russian territorial waters. In the end, they were severely reprimanded by Russian fighter jets with live ammunition. Now that the US warship has arrived again, Russia naturally has to take it seriously.
