Russia returns military fleet to the Mediterranean

Russia has sent two groups of ships linked to military operations in the Mediterranean Sea, with vessels carrying military cargo and moving towards the Syrian port of Tartus.

According to The Maritime Executive, on September 11, there were three separate groups of Russian ships carrying military cargo in the Mediterranean, two of which were linked to Russian military maritime transport operations.

The first group includes the Udaloy-class anti-submarine destroyer Admiral Levchenko, the tanker General Skobelev, the cargo ship Sparta, and the supply ship Akademik Pashin.

The ships entered the Mediterranean through the Strait of Gibraltar on August 27. During the previous passage through the English Channel, they were monitored by a significant British Royal Navy presence, including the destroyer HMS Duncan, the frigate HMS St Albans, the patrol ship HMS Severn and a Merlin helicopter.

The group is believed to have arrived in Tartus on September 7, where the Sparta was seen unloading goods at the port.

Satellite images from September 11 also showed what appeared to be a Russian warship in Tartus, near the General Skobelev.

A second Russian group is also believed to be moving towards Tartus. It is led by the Ropucha-class landing ship Aleksandr Shabalin, and includes the cargo ships Anastasiia and Yuriy Arshenevskiy.

According to The Maritime Executive, both cargo ships are under sanctions and have previously been linked to the transport of military equipment.

Aleksandr Shabalin can transport vehicles and other cargo, while also providing armed escort. The ship is equipped with a 76 mm main gun and two 57 mm AK-725 anti-aircraft systems.

The convoy was detected on September 10 between Sicily and Tunisia, after having moved along the Algerian coast the day before. The ships were being monitored by an ATR P-72A maritime patrol aircraft of the Italian Air Force.

The deployment marks a change of situation compared to July, when Russia had no warships in the Mediterranean for the first time since 2013.
