The United States on Friday announced large-scale Nato naval exercises in the Mediterranean beginning tomorrow and with the participation of aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman, as tensions flare with Russia, which is to hold its own maritime maneuvers at the same time. Though US said the "Neptune Strike 2022" has nothing to do with Russia, the exercise however does not appear on the list of scheduled exercises for 2022 published by Nato. The announcement came a day after Russia announced its own all-out naval exercises, with more than 140 warships and about 10,000 soldiers taking part in January and February in maneuvers that will take place in the Atlantic, the Arctic, the Pacific and the Mediterranean.
