Russian forces in the Mediterranean - Wk22/2021

Task Force Composition

As reported by OSINT at noon of June 05

Weekly Brief

Most Russian warships were once again observed being located inside the Syrian port of Tartus, with the exception of the two capital vessel, the RFS Admiral Makarov and RFS Orekhovo-Zuevo. Both vessels have long endurance times at sea and thus most suited to keep track on NATO movements in the Eastern Mediterranean such as the movements of US, UK and French task forces.

Ropucha class LST RFS Alexander Otrakovsky surprisingly headed back towards the Black Sea. The vessel, being part of the Northern Fleet, is one of four Ropucha class LSTs send to the Black Sea in support of military exercises on the Crimea. Russia thus continues to concentrate its amphibious lift capacity in the Black Sea for the time being.

Tankers Sig and Yaz are doing a new supply run towards the Syria. One of the tanker, Sig, reportedly carries 3.000 tons of diesel fuel which is to be used by the Russian armed forces stationed in Syria.
