Russian Fleet travel through English Channel

The Russian carrier group, led by the aging Admiral Kuznetzov, traveled from the Barents Sea to the English Channel, showcasing Russia's military might. The UK, lacking its own aircraft carriers, sent warships to shadow the Russian fleet. Analysts suggest this standoff benefits both sides by justifying defense spending. The fleet, including the Kirov battlecruiser and other vessels, passed through NATO waters, projecting Russian power. It is expected to reach the Mediterranean, potentially impacting Syria.
