Rusia, pregătiri de război în Marea Neagră și Azov. Înarmează navele-fantomă cu lansatoare de rachete • Newsweek România
Russia is preparing to arm civilian cargo ships in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov with military equipment to protect grain convoys from potential attacks. Despite international law prohibiting the arming of civilian vessels, Russian officials are discussing measures to enhance security for these ships, which transport a significant portion of the country's grain exports. The costs of militarization will fall on grain traders and shipowners, who are skeptical about the effectiveness of such measures. Military personnel may board these vessels armed before departure, with heavy machine guns installed for initial travel stages.
