A missile cruiser and a large anti-submarine ship of russian fleet were to participate in military operations against Ukraine.
On Sunday, November 6, the missile cruiser “Varyag” of the Pacific Fleet of russian federation and the large anti-submarine ship Admiral Tributs were spotted in the Singapore Strait. The letters Z and V can be seen on the pipes, BlackSeaNews reports.
The ships are now returning from the Mediterranean Sea, where they spent nine months, preparing to enter the Black Sea to participate in the attack on Ukraine. However, the russian squadron remained “canned” thanks to Turkey, which since the beginning of the full-scale war prohibited the passage of russian warships through the Dardanelles and Bosporus straits.
“The impossibility of repairing and servicing russian ships in the European ports of the Mediterranean countries against the background of a weak repair base at the base of the russian Navy in the Syrian port of Tartus will force russia to return the ships of the Northern, Baltic and Pacific fleets to the base for repairs. Ships of the Black Sea Fleet, which have been in the Mediterranean Sea for a long time, may also be forced to relocate to the Baltic Sea,” said Andriy Klymenko, head of the Monitoring Group of the Institute of Strategic Studies.
