Tiger falls to Pingyang! The Russian reconnaissance ship approached and spied on Trump's golf course!

According to British media reports on November 8, recently, the Russian Navy has a Type 864 "Vishnya" class intelligence collection ship (Vishnya, Meridian) and a 1559V type "Boris Chilikin" class fleet tanker (Boris Chilikin). ) Conduct electronic reconnaissance close to Scottish waters.

Within the scope of its reconnaissance, in addition to the Lossiemouth Air Force Base of the Royal Air Force, there is also a large golf course under Trump's Trump Links Golf Course.

Among them, Lossmouth Air Force Base is where the Royal Air Force deploys F-35A fighter jets, and it is also the most concerned target of Russian reconnaissance ships.

The Russian Navy has a large professional intelligence fleet.

Their crew uses radio listening equipment to monitor communications from other countries and analyze radar and other electronic equipment signals. Therefore, when Russian reconnaissance ships appear near NATO ports and bases, NATO countries will naturally feel uneasy.

Now, two Russian naval intelligence collection ships have been deployed near the British coast. They are located in the north of Aberdeen, Scotland, close to Lossmouth Air Force Base, the most important Royal Air Force base. These ships can be seen on commercial satellite images on November 6.

British media said that this scene is reminiscent of the Soviet "trawler" operating near Scotland during the Cold War.

These "trawlers" under the Soviet Red Navy are actually electronic reconnaissance ships. They monitor British and American warships and submarines.

Currently, of the two Russian warships, one is confirmed to be the Russian Type 864 "Vishnia" class intelligence gathering ship. They are about 23 miles from the coast of Scotland, and about 34 miles from the Royal Air Force Base Lossymouth. The base is currently deployed with the Royal Air Force’s new “Poseidon” MRA1 maritime patrol aircraft, as well as four squadrons of “Typhoon” FGR.4 fighter jets and the latest F-35A “Lightning” II fighter jets.

The "Vishnia" class is the main force of the Russian intelligence collection fleet. There are currently seven ships in service, including two in the Northern Fleet. This warship is 91.5 meters long and has a displacement of 3470 tons, which is about the same as a frigate, with about 150 crew members.

Each "Vishnia" class has different electronic detection antennas to target different monitoring targets. Ships of this class frequently appear near Europe, North America and even the Caribbean Sea, tracking and monitoring the movements of NATO troops.

Another Russian warship was confirmed as a "Boris Chillgin" class fleet tanker.

According to British media, the Russian oil tanker has been operating along the British coast for several weeks and did not arrive with the reconnaissance ship. The ship had previously set off from the Russian Navy’s base on the Kola Peninsula. On October 27th, people saw it refueling a passing Russian navy guided-missile destroyer at almost the same location.

It shows that this tanker is like a gas station on the sea. It is deployed in advance in the sea area of ​​the scheduled mission. Once the Russian warship only needs it, it can come and refuel.

For this Russian navy's reconnaissance, the British media also interestingly gave another reconnaissance target-Trump Links Golf Course.

This golf course is one of Trump's 19 golf courses around the world.

As we all know, Trump’s hobby is golf, apart from tweets. There are rumors that Trump spends 20% of his time on the golf course. As a senior high fan, Trump has spent a lot of money to buy 19 golf courses around the world. Trump Links Golf Course is one of them.

This course does have several characteristics that are in line with modern competitions: R&A-approved designers; long enough distance (over 7,400 yards); and complete competition facilities, including a huge driving range, 3000 square meters of practice greens, and reasonable layout And there is a hidden network of sidewalks, as well as ample space for watching games and parking lots.

However, the appearance of this stadium broke the tranquility of the Aberdeen coastline and was also met with protests from surrounding Scottish residents. In 2018, thousands of Scottish residents formally protested Trump's plan to build hundreds of private homes near this golf course to protest his environmental damage.

Currently, all golf courses and resort hotels in the UK and Ireland are managed by Trump’s son Eric (Donald Trump Jr.).

But under the influence of the new crown epidemic this year, the business of hotels and stadiums is very bad. In April, they also sought local assistance to help pay their staff in courses and hotels in England and Ireland, including the Trump Links Golf Course in Aberdeen.

Since then, people have felt that Trump is almost out of money! Interestingly, the Trump Links Golf Course is located within the electronic reconnaissance range of the Russian reconnaissance ship!
