A detachment of Pacific Fleet ships led by the flagship of the Nakhimov Guards missile cruiser Varyag, the large anti-submarine ship Admiral Tributs and the large sea tanker Boris Butoma have entered the responsibility zone of the TOF south of Sri Lanka.
The detachment of ships is making an inter-fleet transition from the Mediterranean Sea to the point of permanent deployment in Vladivostok after completing tasks in the far maritime zone, the Navy Recognition reported.
In the area of Sri Lanka Island, the Pacific Fleet took operational control of the ships' detachment on the crossing from the Black Sea Fleet, whose area of responsibility they successfully traversed. The detachment of ships is currently making the crossing across the Indian Ocean.

The question is did they invade into our territorial water without permission? That is about 12 nautical mile around our boarders except in the Palk straight?

If we are a sovereign Buddhist albeit failed paradise why have we not invited the foremost living Buddhist the Dalai Lama to visit our paradise. In reality we are subservient craven dogs to communist atheist China and dare not upset our masters

Wake up Ari, Russia and China are two peas in a pod. China has a 99 year lease of one of the country's ports in the South and like Russia going into war with Ukraine, when China goes into war with Taiwan they will use the port and may need Russia's help. If this was to occur and China uses the port as a base, do you for one moment think Sri Lanka's armed forces is geared to do anything about it?.

Is silence golden when foreign intruders try to gate crash our boundaries or has someone given the OK like the person who brought Tourists into the country during the height of the Covid . Then we can expect oil, gas etc. in reciprocation with our Tea having sunshine in the future? Ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
