The US has had aircraft carriers in the Black Sea since last June.
The USS Monterey has been there since March 2021...guided missile cruiser.

I'm surprised Estonia is calling for this. If nato agrees on a no fly zone then our militaries get involved and we would send our fighter pilots to shoot down Russian planes that enter Ukrainian airspace. This would be the start of www3. We are trying to stop the invasion of one country as best we can. We don't want to escalate this by getting our military involved.

Our military is already there and has been since last June...floating on ships in the Black Sea.
And you'd be pretty naive to think we don't have any US military in Ukraine doing "advising"......

They have already found NATO laptops among those neo-nazi groups in Ukraine.

As for Estonia, the British Army have the lead role in terms of the NATO Enhanced Forward Presence.

Estonia has recently seen British reinforcements and the RAF also help defend NATO's Eastern Flank.
