According to a Russian source, one of the warships today forced a United States Navy destroyer not to infiltrate its territorial waters in the Sea of Japan.

A video by the Russian Ministry of Defense showed the moment its anti-submarine ship "Admiral Tributz" closed 60 yards from the US destroyer USS Chaffee at Peter the Grit Golf south of Vladivostok.

In the same vein, US officials objected to the novel, saying that the interaction was "safe and professional."

Russia and China have conducted joint naval exercises in the region, the latest in a series of close confrontations between Russian and Western warships, and relations between Russia and the United States are at their lowest level since the cold war.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defence, Admiral Tribeutz sent a radio warning to the $1 billion USS Chaffee to say that it was "in an area closed to navigation due to artillery fire drills."

The Ministry added that the American destroyer failed to change course and instead flew flags indicating that it was preparing to launch a helicopter from its surface, meaning that it was unable to change course and speed.

Admiral Tribeutz, acting under the International Navigation Rules, had set a course to remove the intruder from Russian territorial waters, and USS Chaffee had changed course when the two ships were less than 65 yards away.

The source stated that the incident lasted less than 50 minutes and denounced what it said was a "gross violation" by the United States of the rules to avoid collision.
