Russian navy ship 'AGGRESSIVELY APPROACHED' US warship. What were they trying to do? Were the Russians SLEEPING, BEING STUPID, OR PLAYING SOME KIND OF GAME?  They came pretty close to causing a collision. The Americans shouldn't have had to WAKE THEM UP to make sure they didn't cause any damage. I'm not sure what the RUSSIANS were trying to pull. In the video in the article you can see how close they came. " The warship Farragut was “aggressively approached” by a Russian naval ship Thursday in the North Arabian Sea, U.S. 5th Fleet officials said. The American guided-missile destroyer was conducting routine operations at the time of the approach, according to a statement from the Bahrain-based command. “Farragut sounded FIVE SHORT BLASTS, the international maritime signal for danger of a collision, and requested the Russian ship alter course in accordance with international rules of the road,” according to the command. The Russian vessel “INITIALLY REFUSED” but ultimately altered its course and the two ships opened distance from each other, 5th Fleet said. “While the Russian ship took action, the initial delay in complying with international rules while it was making an aggressive approach increased the risk of collision,” the command said. One minute-long clip shows Farragut soundings its five blasts and the Russian ship continuing to close in. The other footage shows the Russian ship closing in on the rear of Farragut from the starboard side and then crossing behind the U.S. vessel to port. It remains unclear whether that second clip occurred before or after the footage showing Farragut sounding five short blasts. “The U.S. Navy continues to remain vigilant and is trained to act in a professional manner,” 5th Fleet said. “We continue to encourage vessels from all nations to operate in accordance with internationally recognized maritime laws, standards and norms.” Navy Times could not read a hull number on the Russian ship, but Kremlin news service Sputnik International identified it in a link to a larger story as SSV-175 Viktor Leonov, a Vishnya-class intelligence gathering vessel But the footage recorded by the Farragut shows a vessel that more resembles one of the two Yury Ivanov (Project 18280)-class spy ships." https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2020/01/10/russian-navy-ship-aggressively-approached-us-warship/
