> - Russia's only air craft carrier is trespassing through UK waters to get to Syria in a show of force that doesn't really add anything to their military capabilities there.

I read they were passing in international waters. Is that not the case? It's clearly a show of force, but no need for the hyperbole if it is not true.




Foreign vessels are allowed to transit through another nations waters. This happens regularly and is not in any way noteworthy.


Thanks for the info. What was noteworthy to me is that their aircraft carrier is running on diesel and is clearly something from the 80s.
