Russian forces in the Mediterranean - Wk49/2021

Task Force Composition

As reported by OSINT at the morning of December 11

Weekly Brief

With the arrival of the landing vessel RFS Tsezar Kunikov in the Mediterranean, there is reason to believe that Russia is rotation a company sized unit in and out of Syria. The vessel was involved in an embarkation drill on December 07 where it loaded a company sized element of Naval Infantry. The vessel was supposed to go to Opuk but instead headed straight towards the Bosporus, jugged from the transit times needed between Sevastopol and Istanbul. The vessel was visually observed in the Bosporus as heavy loaded, based on its waterline, which lends credence that a company sized NI unit and their BTRs are heading towards Syria. It is unknown if they will relieve another unit already present in Syria.

The main surface combatants of the task force continue to be used for naval diplomacy by participating in a joint naval exercise with the Egyptian Navy. These vessels were previously also reported taking part in a naval exercise with the Algerian Navy. The exercise with the Egyptian Navy also allows Russia to have a better understanding of the capabilities of Mistral class landing vessels andn Godwin class corvettes.
