The American destroyer Donald Cook is on the way to the Black Sea.

The night before it became known that the US military destroyer Donald Cook, whose crew had encountered the Su-24 Russian front bomber at least three times, passes through the Sea of ​​Marmara and goes to the shores of the Crimea and Ukraine.

The command of the Sixth Fleet of the US Navy confirmed the fact of sending its warship to the Black Sea, noting that this was due to “Supporting allies and partners in common regional interests to ensure stability at sea”.

“The US Navy continues to support our allies and partners in the common regional interests to ensure stability at sea. Our visit will demonstrate the cooperation of the Navy in achieving common security goals in this region. ”- emphasized the commander of the destroyer "Donald Cook" Matthew Powell.

At the moment, the location of the American warship is unknown, except that about 10 hours ago it was noticed passing through the Dardanelles Strait and entering the Sea of ​​Marmara.

Jokes about the fact that the pilots of the Russian Su-24 will meet the American warship have already started appearing on social networks, however, no official comments from the Russian Defense Ministry regarding the entry of Donald Cook into the Black Sea have so far .
