The world has changed. It changed when Putin broke treaties that endangered people in Ukraine. The Russians no longer get a pass on their military priorities because they no longer can be trusted. To think the USA would stand by and allow this to occur immediately after Putin stated openly he is preparing for war since the intermediate nuclear missile treaty was canceled is completely unconscionable!
The next thing we know there will be Russian missle bases in Cuba again!
The Russian guided-missile frigate Admiral Makarov arrives at the Bay of Sevastopol to join Russia's Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, Crimea October 5, 2018.
Moscow (Reuters) - Russia said it deployed (click here) its new frigate with long-range Kalibr cruise missiles to the Mediterranean Sea on Monday, a few months after Moscow had reinforced its naval forces off Syrian cost.
“The Black Sea Navy Fleet’s frigate Admiral Makarov left (Navy base) Sevastopol and laid a course for the Black Sea straits. The vessel will be acting in the standing naval force of the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean,” the Russian Defence Ministry said in statement.
Russia has in the past fired Kalibr cruise missiles from frigates and submarines stationed in the Mediterranean Sea at militant targets to support Syrian army offensives.
The ministry did not say whether the frigate was supposed to take part in the military operation in Syria where Moscow has backed President Bashar al-Assad since entering the war in 2015.
