Russian Warships Head For Syria And Iran

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

Russian warships set out Tuesday, Dec. 18, for two Middle East flashpoint destinations: Naval sources in Moscow reported that two assault ships, a tanker and an escort vessel were detached from the Baltic Fleet and are sailing for the Syrian port of Tartus – possibly to evacuate Russian citizens. A second naval group led by Russia’s largest anti-submarine vessel, the Severomorsk, is on its way to the Gulfs of Aden and Oman close to the Persian Gulf and Iran.
The ships destined for Syria are the Russian fleet’s two largest amphibious assault vessels, the Kaliningrad and the Alexander Shabalin, which is a cruiser converted to a guided missile frigate renamed Yaroslav the Wise, the SB-921 rescue and tug ship, and the Lena military tanker.
Russian military sources say this flotilla will relieve the Black Sea Fleet’s task force vessels deployed off the Syrian coast since November.
The Severomorsk heading for waters near the Persian Gulf is escorted by ships which Russian sources have not named as well as a military tanker and a supply and rescue ship.
 
 
I think this is an obvious sign that russia has Syria and Iran’s back.  Gunboat diplomacy as its called. China is doing the same thing in the far east.  So is India.  Its only a matter of time before a clash happens.  What it will lead to is anyone’s guess. ~Ophelia

      Why the pictures of US ships then? Russia does not operate tilt engine aircraft, the US is the only country I know of that does.

        hmmm . . . look this up, Russian KTRX90

          I did look that up whitebear. What are you saying? Did Russia buy some Tilt rotor X90′s? It sure don’t look like they made any. Did I miss something? I think we are looking at US Navy ships in this blog not Russian as the author suggests.
