Its not that uncommon to see a Russian ship work with the west they have been doing so for many years specifically on the CTF's off the Somali coast even using our tankers and dry stores to re supply.
2011 Exercise Bold march which was a submarine rescue exercise we say the B871 Alrosa a Project 877V Kilo class submarine take part as the downed vessel off the coast of Spain.
In all honesty I don't think we need to fear Russia, if we look back to the last century both world wars Russia came in on our side, and they have had in recent past border clashes with China as well as many rifts with China.
As for Turkey they are playing a dangerous game and I think it is high time that Turkeys membership of NATO is reviewed.
