Small Norwegian fishing boat confronted Russian warship during live-shooting exercise
“This is Russian warship, you need to leave the area”, was the message chief mate Øystein Orten got over the radio as his crew was about to take the fishing gear up from the water. But the military exercise and the order to sail away didn’t at first scare the Norwegians. “I replied that it was out of question for us to move. We had longlines to take onboard,” Orten told to FriFagbevegelse. The Admiral Levchenko is an anti-submarine destroyer and one of the largest warships in the Northern Fleet. Øystein Orten and his crew of five onboard the 15-meters small fishing boat saw the huge warship sailing towards them and first stopped at a distance of 200 meters. The warship then blew the powerful horn for about 15 seconds. According to Orten, a warning shot was fired and the Norwegians decided to sail west. The 163-meters long destroyer followed the fishing vessel until she was out of the danger zone. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 10:07
