"Not to start the Third World": The Russian destroyer opened fire on the Norwegian vessel (photo)
The incident happened on September 12, when the Norwegian vessel was in the exclusive economic zone of the country, north of the city of Varde. The Russian Navy, which at that time conducted the training "Ocean 24", demanded that the Norwegian ship leave the zone declared dangerous. "Not far from the place where we saw the Russian warship. Then I was summoned on the radio:" This is a Russian warship, you need to leave the area, "said the first assistant Captain Oystin Ortten.
I refused to listen to the Russian destruction and continued to move to my line. The ship stops 200 meters from us on the wide side. This can be said to be a slight threat. To attract our attention, a typhoon fog is switched on for 15 seconds. Then he shoots from the gun somewhere in the sea. There is a loud blow in our building, and it shudder, "Orden says. He explains that there was no direct hit by the ship and that most likely a training grenade was used that hit the point in the water nearby.
" Imagine Norwegian fishing vessels, which the Germans knocked down. This is how it is when you sit in a small boat, and a big warship gives you breakfast, "Ordten says, adding:" At the same time, we know that the Norwegian fishing boat is not that the third world war is worth starting, " - He says. It was a voluntary coercion as it was called when I served in the army. He led us all over the field. Norwegian Coast Guard also went down and talked to the Russians, "Ordten says.
He says the crew had to work all night to pull out laziness and not sleep for more than 24 hours to finish work. About 100,000 Norwegian crowns in the form of a catch. Norway should make stringent requirements so that the training does not be the danger of the Norwegian industry or civilian vessels. It is preferable that the Russians place their landfills further north, east and in their own areas. They cannot be allowed to close the Norwegian fishing areas.
The consequences should be when the Russians encroach on Norwegian interests in Norwegian economic waters, "Ordten says. Coxsvine Ortten says that there were several Norwegian fishing vessels in the area. And many of them, like him, did not know what In the area of fishing, Russian exercises are conducted: "Norwegian authorities did not prevent us directly. The coastal security handed over the navigation warning to the 16th Channel.
MESSAGES ARE CONTRACTING TO THE NORVERE coast are constantly receiving. We did not know about it, "Orden says. A number of fishermen and sailors have recently asked them to provide more information about Russian military exercises. Orden adds that a fire in the area of the Norwegian fishing vessel in the area occurred in the area of the Norwegian fishing vessel in the area. The warship asked if they needed help.
