British warships could be sent in to protect freighters
carrying crucial Ukrainian grain and break Putin's blockade
of Black Sea ports that is threatening to cause a world
food crisis

. . .

Ok ... Russia just can't permit this. Selling grain
enriches its foe and MUST be prevented. Sound
straight-up military logic.

Shooting WILL break out between UK and Russian forces
and it all goes WAY downhill from there, fast.

So, IT CAN'T BE ALLOWED.

Russia doesn't even have to get into a protracted war with the UK like
it is doing with the Ukraine. Russia is totally capable of wiping the British isles off the map in one shot.

That of course would be suicide for Russia. Nato , the US and Eu would respond out of necessity. And fast to keep China and India out of it.
A definite no-win situation for everyone. I do believe the 11th Airborne reincarnation in Alaska(Known as the Arctic Legions) are a
countermeasure. Belarus has tossed its hand in with the Ukraine also.
Some pretty cutting edge weaponry, troops and training are either in
Finland or on the way. Things are getting dicey. Russian Troops sliced through Ukrainian lines in the Donbas and Uncle Joe Biden said yes to
armed intervention on a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Putin now has his
high tech Syrian Barrel bombers on site in Ukraine.

russa needs to buy some iranian semi-submersable speed boats..
each equiped with one anti-ship missele.

I don't think so. It is amazing how fast Putin has modernized Russia's military in a short two decades.

So modernised that it was fought to a standstill by Ukraine and then
pushed back to its own borders. Give Putin 2 more decades of
modernisation and they could be beaten by Swiss female football team.

Putin's policies have crippled the Russian military. They are too large,
too underfunded for their size, moral is non-existent, logistics are a
joke, reliability is non-existent, tactics are a joke. They still think
they are fighting WW2. A war of attrition is all they are capable of,
which they may well win purely on numbers, but at what loss.

Russia has spent decades defending its borders from Chinese invaders.
Which means that the Russians were not equipped or trained to be the
invaders and did not have logistics supply lines in place of with
trained personal.

You really need to learn to spell correctly. But it is obvious from the
massive losses Russia has taken...that it is your kind that is running
their policy and military. Russian logistics cannot keep up with its
losses. To sink a British Escort ship would make those logistic
factories disappear.
