A fleet of Russian warships headed to Syria
A fleet of Russian warships and fighter aircraft, including the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, has reached the North sea and heading for the English channel, reported the Ministry of great Britain in his statement.
Flotilla, analysts say, heading to the Mediterranean sea and will eventually reach Syria. "This show of force and demonstration of the possibilities," said Peter Felstead, editor of CNN.
"From the point of view of strike missions, the Russians could just as easily held them from their land-based planes they already have in Syria."
The UK Ministry of defence claims that he was closely monitoring the Russian vessels which had left Russia on October 15. In a statement issued at that time, the Russian Navy reported that the voyage was intended to "provide a naval presence in important regions of the World ocean. Special attention will be paid to ensuring the safety of Maritime navigation and other Russian Maritime economic activities, as well as to respond to new types of modern threats such as piracy and international terrorism ".
The movement of the Russian warship to Syria also could give Russia the chance to experience aircraft carrier, to make sure it works properly, and it will also give Western powers the opportunity to see it up close, said Felsted. He Admiral Kuznetsov is capable of carrying 50 military aircraft.
Russian fleet, believed to be floating in the Syrian port of Tartus, reported the Ministry of defense of Russia on 10 October. Russia is ready to leave ships there on a permanent basis.
