HMS Echo
HMS Echo has or is being sent to the Ukraine to show our support for the Ukrainian government. Is this really a sensible move. So what happens if the Russians say that HMS Echo has entered Russian waters and shells the RN ship?th8AVGQEMU.jpg Playing a dangerous game seeing as Russia are now deemed to be a rogue stateth8AVGQEMU.jpg
Given that it is not that long ago that Putin said it is very likely that there will be a nuclear war in the near future. HMS Echo is a survey ship, not sure if she is even armed?

they probe UK airspace regularly, but it doesnot always make the news.
