The United States said that they could easily send the Russian interceptor ship to the bottom.

After the illegal invasion of the USS John McCain missile destroyer into Russian territorial waters, Washington not only refused to apologize, but also announced that the Russian anti-submarine ship, in the event of the slightest aggression, could be destroyed by superior weapons.

"The US Navy's Arleigh Burke-class destroyer John McCain is superior to the large Project 1155 anti-submarine ship Admiral Vinogradov of the Russian Navy, Popular Mechanics writes. The American magazine drew attention to the TASS news, dedicated to the invasion of Russian waters by an American ship displaced by a Russian one. Commenting on this publication, Popular Mechanics stated that John McCain is "actually bigger, newer and better armed" than Admiral Vinogradov. ", - about it сообщает Russian information publication "Lenta.ru".

Nevertheless, the arguments of the American side are completely unfounded, since Russia only took measures to protect its territorial waters, since in the event of direct intentions to destroy the invading ship, coastal missile systems and military aircraft could be used for this.

“In order to crack down on American destroyers, Russia has more than enough weapons. It is possible that a new escalation may lead to the fact that the Russian military, after the first warning, will open fire, since, most likely, only this will allow the Americans to demonstrate Russia's determination to defend its sovereignty ", - said the analyst Avia.pro.
