British, French, and US forces link up off Irish coast to monitor Russians
As part of their Maritime, Defence and Security Operations, Irish Air Corps Maritime Patrol Aircraft and Irish Naval Service vessels have observed United States, Russian and French vessels in international waters off the island of Ireland.
Cold War-era type 'wargames' are being played out off the southwest coast of Ireland as British, French, and US forces converged to monitor the start of what's believed to be a five-day Russian navy exercise.
The Irish Naval Service also had ships monitoring the Russian exercise, bolstered by aerial surveillance supplied by the Air Corps.
