Russia’s ‘Carrier-Killer’ Moskva Enters Mediterranean
Russia Today
Russia’s Moskva missile cruiser, dubbed a “carrier-killer” by NATO, has passed through the Straits of Gibraltar and is now heading toward the eastern Mediterranean to assume command of the Russian naval force there.
The Russian Navy said in a statement that the Moskva cruiser passed through the Straits of Gibraltar on September 10.
Interfax news agency added that the Moskva cruiser, “commanded by Sergey Tronev, Captain 1st Rank of the Guards… has enough room for maneuver now.”
“The Black Sea flagship entered the Russian Navy’s area of responsibility in the Mediterranean at 11:00 pm Moscow time yesterday,” the agency reported a military source as saying.
The missile-carrying cruiser is expected to join its final destination in eastern Mediterranean on September 15 or 16.
Upon arrival, the command of the Russian Navy unit in the Mediterranean, currently stationed onboard the Admiral Panteleyev anti-submarine ship, will be relocated to the Moskva.
“The armaments and technical equipment of the missile cruiser are in working condition. The crew is ready to perform combat missions,” the source said.

Lets stop talking about Syria now and start talking about, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, IRS scandal, the deaths of seal team six members, and the fake birth certificate.
I assume you realize the amount of defenses that surround our carriers, right? One ship AIN’T going to do it. Between AEGIS, Hawkeye’s, Sea Sparrows, CIWS, 688-i’s, and all the assorted frigates and destroyers…oh…and few squadrons of fighters…not to mention the long range AWACs support and satellite coverage…not going to happen. Sorry to disappoint.
the point is we shouldn’t be there at all
I wouldn’t want to be serving on the Moskva right now. It has to be Target #1 in the U.S. cross-hairs. If things start going hot this ship will be the first to go down, unless it gets off some missiles before it is sunk.
The biggest danger at present is the probability that some action will be misinterpreted, or some radar screen somewhere misread, and buttons will start being pushed. In a tense situation, the probability of a mistake goes up exponentially with the number of opposing ships and planes in the area.
Seems everyone is missing the point…..it,s called death and destruction which is war……stand down on all sides should be on the agenda right now…..but if not war and death will happen.
