Russian amphibious ships will visit the Syrian port of TartusLarge landing ships / BDK / "Azov" and "Nikolai Filchenkov" of the Black Sea fleet / Black Sea Fleet / Russia, departing today from Novorossiysk to the Mediterranean Sea, are sent to the logistics point of the Russian Navy in the Syrian port of Tartus. This was reported today by ITAR-TASS a source in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

"BDK" Azov "and" Nikolai Filchenkov ", having received on the eve of Novorossiysk divisions of special forces of the marines and several units of military equipment, went on a march into the Mediterranean Sea. Marines were assigned the task of ensuring the safety of ships during the crossing of the pouring zone and during the stay in foreign The ships will pass the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits, as planned, 26-27 December, so that 28 December, as an estimate, join the Black Sea Fleet group of the Guards missile cruiser Moskva and the sentry ship Smetlivy, located in the Aegean sea, "- said the agency interlocutor.

According to him, "Moscow" and "Sharp-witted" today completed their stay in the Greek port of Piraeus, where they replenished supplies of water and food, and then began to perform tasks in the Aegean Sea. "Accompanied by these two warships, the Azov and Nikolai Filchenkov will visit Tartus," said a source in the General Staff.

As the December 8 Defense Ministry reported, in connection with the return of large amphibious ships Novocherkassk and Saratov Black Sea Fleet from a Mediterranean voyage to permanent bases in the General Staff of the Russian Navy, the issue of the necessity and timing of sending ships of the same class to the Black Sea Fleet group, currently operating in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Novocherkassk and Saratov returned to December 10 bases, a source in the General Staff told Itar-Tass earlier. The remaining ships of the Black Sea grouping consisting of the Guards missile cruiser Moskva, the Smetlivy patrol ship, the large sea tanker Ivan Bubnov and the sea tug MB-304 remained in the northeastern part of the Mediterranean Sea, "to special instructions," he specified.

Initially, a squad of warships of the Black Sea Fleet headed for the Somali coast, where the Pacific Fleet ships were to join it. It was planned that, as part of the combined grouping, the ships of the two fleets would perform the tasks of countering maritime piracy in the Horn of Africa. However, later, due to the exacerbation of the situation in the zone of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, a squad of warships of the Black Sea Fleet was ordered to be in the Gaza Strip coastline ready for evacuation of Russian citizens from the territory of the Palestinian Authority.

It was decided, informed the Ministry of Defense, to return part of the ships to the points of permanent deployment to ensure the dismissal of military personnel on board.

      And this is the same laughing
      Now I was looking through the news from Anna-News about the cleansing of one of the districts of Damascus. The militants (!) And the Army put in large wholesale and this is very annoying NATO.

      http://youtu.be/1zADDehDv8M

      Interesting video, I'll tell you. And before that I watched Lavrov's interview for "RT" and the integrity of the position of Russia on Syria and the belief of the Syrians in the fact that behind their back is "Big Brother" was clearly visible. But not the one who then dreams of bending the younger, like the last whore, in gratitude for the help, but who respects the opinion of the younger and is ready to come to the aid of the younger.
      I see it this way. As F. Mkrtchan said - "I think so ...!" laughing

        I will give a new info. maybe for someone old.
        In Syria, between the fighting Salafis and the Assad army, Russian marines appeared as if from nowhere and gave both of them turnips ...
        It’s clear that the Assad military can be ordered to stop the fire and they will obey. But how could the gorillas, especially the crazy Salafis, be ordered to stop the fire while the Russian military takes out chemical weapons ... it was a mystery ..
        Russian special forces wedged between Assad’s troops and rebels, ordered both to stop firing, or else they would be rebuffed. And both obeyed.
        Or: this operation was agreed between the intelligence services of the Russian Federation and NATO. They kept the rebels from attacking the convoy with chemical weapons. But rebels in Syria are different, someone under the hood with Nato, and someone not. In any case, it was a tidbit for rebels and they could not just stand and watch. One of them tried to sneak up in slippers and shy off RPG-7 from around the corner. At that moment, the marines gave them lead in turnips ...
        According to the abuse and noise of the Salafis / Rebel, they had losses from the Russian Marines.

          "The presence of the Russian military in Syria is a hindrance to the US-led intervention" - such is the headline in The Guardian. "Russian military advisers operate some of the most advanced air defense systems in Syria," says journalist Julian Borger. According to the newspaper, after the start of the "Syrian revolution" Moscow supplied the Assad regime with "new ground-to-air systems and modernized old systems" (the newspaper's wording).

            hi Hello, comrades, read this: MOSCOW, Dec 24 - RIA Novosti. The Russian Defense Ministry did not send special forces on the ships of the Navy to Syria, Deputy Defense Minister of the Russian Federation Anatoly Antonov said at a press conference in RIA Novosti on Monday.

            "The Russian Navy is carrying out its tasks in various parts of the world. No decisions on the direction of special forces on the ships of the Navy have been made, all this is nonsense," the deputy minister said, adding that air defense specialists were not sent to Syria either.

            Earlier, some media reported that special forces and military equipment were allegedly sent to Syria on Russian warships.

            "There were no specialists in the maintenance of air defense systems sent to Syria. Therefore, this is only speculation of some media," Antonov said.

            Cavas,
            The Guardian: Russian military manages air defense systems in Syria

            publication time: 11: 33
            last update: 12: 08





            Russian military advisers are in Syria, The Guardian newspaper claims on December 24. They take part in the management of air defense systems, including modern systems delivered to the Bashar al-Assad regime.

            According to the publication, the presence of an effective air defense system and the presence of the Russian military significantly complicate the possibility of a military operation in Syria for Western states.

            The newspaper reports that the Syrian Air Defense Forces are serving at least 50.000 people. This branch of the military has numerous anti-aircraft guns and missiles, including the recently delivered Buk-M1 and Pantsir-S1 mobile complexes. To train the Syrian personnel, the Russian military also arrived in the country, the exact number of which the publication does not name. They control those complexes that the Syrian military cannot control today. Information about the supply of S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems to Syria has not been confirmed.

            The Guardian reports that the suppression of the Syrian air defense system will require significant efforts and resources from NATO countries, and the United States will not be able to avoid active participation in such a situation, as it was in Libya. In addition, the likely death of the Russian military during the bombing of Syria will entail geopolitical consequences, which are difficult to predict today.

              IMHO this is precisely what explains why the situation in Syria has not yet begun to develop according to the Libyan scenario. They are afraid of losing all attack aircraft on approach wink

                      If Israel and Iran could reach some temporary agreement on nuclear and other issues - which is not impossible.

                  “The fact is that, according to the author, the air defense forces of Syria are 50 thousand people, thousands of anti-aircraft guns and more than 130 missile systems. Jeremy Binney, editor of Jane's Terrorism and Security Monitor, says Russia recently delivered Buk-M2 and Pantsir-C1 to Syria. The S-300 systems may have been delivered, but have not yet been commissioned, the author adds.
                  "Sources familiar with the relations between Moscow and Damascus in the field of defense confirmed the presence of Russian air defense crews in Syria," the article says. The fact is that an air campaign in Syria will require stealth aircraft, aerial and satellite reconnaissance equipment, etc. The USA specializes in all this. But the Obama administration is afraid to get bogged down in another Middle East war, the newspaper notes. All this explains why the intervention in Syria has not yet begun.

                    With us in direct contact from Jerusalem - Leland Wittert. Good morning, Leland!

                    LELAND WITERT, Fox News correspondent: Good morning, Martha. Tehran receives highly advanced Russian-made air defense systems. And this completely changes the strategic alignment in the Middle East - not only for Iran and Israel, but also for Iran and the United States. Because the drafters of military plans will now have to re-develop all plans for an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. These air defense systems that Iran receives are modern enough to strike was very problematic.

                    Developed by Russian specialists to protect their cities, military bases and missile silos of intercontinental ballistic missiles, the S-300 is one of the most advanced anti-aircraft systems in the world. Russia sold these systems to Syria, largely in order to protect President Assad’s regime from attack by NATO or Israel.

                    For more than a year, Syria has been sliding into the chaos of the civil war and desperately needs people, ammunition and equipment. Fox News exposed secret shipments from Iran: cargo for the Syrian army is delivered by commercial airliners. There is also evidence that unregistered cargo aircraft were unloaded at Syrian military airports.

                    Western intelligence confirms that planes are returning to Iran with S-300 missile systems on board. Iran tried to buy these weapons from Russia, but met with a refusal. The S-300 will significantly increase the effectiveness of Iranian air defense, which is currently vulnerable to countermeasures by Israel or the United States.

                    Current plans to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities do not take into account the good defense that the S-300 provides.

                    LELAND WITTERT: Israel and the United States put enormous pressure on Russia to not sell these weapons to Iranians. The Russians said they would not do this. It is not yet clear what they will do, realizing that Syria is sending the S-300 to Iran.

                    And, of course, here, in Israel, and in the USA, the staff will have to rework all their plans, taking into account the new capabilities of Iran. Obviously, this changes the whole alignment. Martha?

                    Yes, this is a very important and alarming turn of events. Thank you very much, Ledand! Great report!

Moreover, the blows were so accurate and powerful that they knocked out several hundred “rebels” As Kawas says. The strikes were directed at a group that was trying to seize a base containing chemical weapons. So I think that our lads "did not condescend" to explanations with the rebels, but if I just can't, and - guts on twigs crying

According to the newspaper, after the start of the "Syrian revolution" Moscow supplied the Assad regime with "new ground-to-air systems and modernized old systems" (the newspaper's wording).

        Greetings to Valera! The Shavers from the Guardians claim that
        Russian military specialists are located at a number of Syrian air defense facilities, where they are on alert to manage the country's best air defense systems,

        The depth and complexity of Syria’s air defense means that any direct Western campaign in support of the no-fly zone or in the form of air strikes against the leadership would be costly, time consuming and risky. The possibility of Russian military losses in such a campaign could lead to unpredictable geopolitical consequences

        Russia has fulfilled and will continue to fulfill contracts for the supply of arms to Syria. This was announced today to journalists by the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Anatoly Antonov.
        "Russia has always been a reliable partner in fulfilling its obligations under the contracts concluded, we have fulfilled, are fulfilling and will continue to fulfill our obligations in this area," he said.
        “As for Syria,” Antonov noted, “no decisions have been made that would limit the supply of our weapons to this country.”

      Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia Anatoly Antonov has denied information about the sending of the landing ships Azov and Nikolai Filchenkov with special forces on board to the Syrian port of Tartus.

      The representative of the Ministry of Defense at a press conference on December 24 called these rumors "nonsense." A. Antonov also said that Russia does not supply any offensive weapons to Syria.

      A. Antonov said that the Russian Navy is performing its tasks in various parts of the globe, however, no decisions were made about the transfer of special forces to Syria. The deputy head of the Ministry of Defense also added that specialists in the maintenance of air defense systems were not sent to the Arab country.

      Earlier today, the media reported that large landing ships with several units of military equipment on board were sent from Novorossiysk to Tartus. Allegedly, the task force was entrusted with the task of ensuring the safety of ships during the passage of straits and parking in ports.

      At the same time, alarming reports came from Syria that government troops loyal to President Bashar al-Assad today used chemical weapons against the rebels. There was no official confirmation of this information, but political scientists spoke of the need to evacuate all Russian citizens from Syria.

        Liberasts stirred on the basis of false rumors and on command from the State Department!

        German intelligence agent "Curveball" laughing , which provided the USA with false information about the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, turned out to be a charlatan. According to the AR, during the journalistic investigation it turned out that he was not at all the leading chemical engineer as he imagined himself. And he invented all the stories about WMD in order to obtain asylum in Germany.

        "Twisted Ball" (or "Feint") is an agent named Rafid Ahmed Alvan. Indeed, he was once involved with chemical weapons engineering, but never led any such large facility.
        According to new data, he worked in a factory and was alcoholic.

        Recall that the false information of this agent formed the basis of the speech of Secretary of State Colin Powell to the United Nations in February 2003.

      Welcome
      Nick, hi
      In my opinion, this smell did not disappear ... Just now, we began to feel it stronger because it is approaching us directly.
      According to this news, many (mostly the most free and independent) media hastened to ring this info as a referral of Russian special forces to Syria. Our Foreign Ministry has already hastened to call these rumors nonsense ... But I am insulted ... It is insulting that, because of an eye on compliance with international law, Russia, as it were, bashfully reassures the outraged buggers of all countries that nothing special is happening. I understand everything - and the fact that such a position is more advantageous in today's political realities, and that it is a law of the political genre - to say one thing, plan another, and do the third ...
      For example, I read these panic squeals of Western magazines with a feeling of gloating and pridelaughing This is how it is necessary to get rid of ... just mentioning the Russian marines ?!
      I understand that there are provocateurs, alarmists, who are called upon to specifically shape the appearance of the great and terrible Russia in the brains of the Tolerasts, but in this case, it seems to me, we should not be embarrassed by such actions as strengthening our presence in Syria. Let them know, dolbons, on whom they open their mouths.
      Well, the fact that at the beginning of my post I called the Europeans pederasts, there are good reasons for that. To the fact that in their "codes" they level the concepts of "man" and "woman", "mother" and "father", they already naturally come to the fact that the very name "FATHER" is taken away from the Lord God! Admire, colleagues, to what kind of brain dislocations the Minister of Culture of Germany has reached fool

The Tajik border is taken under the guardianship of Russian border guards. Kyrgyzstan is increasingly entering into cooperation with Russia in the same areas. Thus, Russia has created in Central Asia a counterbalance to the bulging nose of Karimov. And he, don't be a fool, spoke more friendly and ingratiatingly. There is no longer a categorical irrevocable exit from the CSTO - there were bleating that - "Mi ischo pADUMEIM, eh?"

    JUST A SHORT EXTRACT FROM THE PRESS CONFERENCE S. LAVROV: Question: Is there a threat of external invasion?

    Sergey Lavrov: The feeling is that no one has any “appetite” for external interference. Even if you give backstage sensations, sometimes it seems that in the West they pray that Russia and China continue to block the authorization of an external invasion. As soon as such a sanction appears, they will have to act, and no one is ready for this. At least right now I have just that feeling.

    But the position of Russia is not related to the fact that we want to provoke someone to make some kind of decision - to shoot or not to shoot, to bomb or not to bomb.

    Question: Now it is actively talking about the granting of political asylum to B. Asad and the role of Russia in this matter.

    Foreign Minister Lavrov: If anyone has the opportunity to provide B. Asad with some kind of refuge, let him talk to him directly. Russia has publicly stated that it does not invite the president of the SAR to her, and we have no such plans. But we were approached by some countries of the region, offered to tell B. Asad that Russia was ready to “attach it”. To this we replied that Russia had nothing to do with it. If someone has such plans, let him turn to him directly.

    The Syrian President openly says that he is not going to go anywhere, even if Russia and China call him, he will die on Syrian soil. If there are anyone who wants to give him any guarantees, we are welcome. But whether this ends the slaughter is not a fact

    There are many opinions here, but I think it's time to demonstrate strength. It is high time to make sea and land trips to and in Syria, and not only in the holds, but also on military equipment.
    Recall our peacekeepers in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, the Georgians will no longer go there. And they’ll climb - they’ll get in full. The same option can be applied in Syria.
    But this is my personal opinion, and XO must be removed from the terrorists from there, because if they say that it’s supposed that Russia applied it. This we do not need!

    Syrian army accused of using chemical weapons against opposition
    For the first time since the beginning of the conflict, Syrian government forces have used chemical weapons against opposition fighters. As reported by the inter-Arab TV channel "Al-Jazeera" with reference to the Syrian activists, a precedent has been set in Homs. Syrian soldiers used poison gas against the opposition.
    In addition, opposition officials said Syrian air force fighters dropped bombs containing poisonous substances on activists. According to the channel, fighters attacked the Al Bayad quarter in Homs in the west of the country. As a result of the air raid, 7 people were killed and dozens more were injured.

    As noted by "Interfax", the channel has distributed video footage, which depicts a man who suffered from poisonous gas. He lies in a hospital bed with a breathing apparatus connected.

    In turn, the Israeli newspaper "Haaretz" reports that the gas poisoned suffer from nausea and breathing problems. According to the newspaper, 4 people were blinded and 4 more Syrians were paralyzed. The nature of the gas has not yet been determined. However, Syrian doctors note that it resembles sarin.

    Syrian general Adnan Silu, who had previously switched to the side of the opposition, said that the ruling regime of Syria has such an arsenal of chemical weapons that is comparable to the nuclear arsenal of Israel.

    UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has already called for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to be held accountable if the Syrian government forces use chemical weapons. At the same time, the Permanent Representative of Syria to the UN, Bashar Jafari, said that the Syrian authorities would not use chemical weapons under any circumstances.

    During a recent meeting of the Group of Friends of Syria, the national coalition of the opposition and revolutionary forces of Syria was recognized as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people. It was decided that any attempt by the Syrian authorities to use chemical weapons in the country would entail a harsh reaction from the world community. The document also calls on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to voluntarily leave power.


    Now it will begin! and the black said, if you will poison P. zda to you. Well, that’s the reason, very quickly. it can be seen that real time is running out :)) there will now be a couple more of such cases with XO and the invasion :)) the West will nevertheless get its way, in any way. and our marines and ships will not help, and never will.

    Well, the fact that the operation is already underway is a fact, and whether it is defensive or offensive will be clear a little later. Here from the Black Sea forum:
    Large landing ships (BDK) "Azov" and "Nikolay Filchenkov" left Novorossiysk for the Syrian port of Tartus with special forces of the Marine Corps and several units of military equipment on board, the Russian General Staff said on Monday.
    "The BDK will pass the Bosphorus and Dardanelles on December 26-27, in order to join the Black Sea Fleet grouping on December 28 as part of the Moskva missile cruiser and the Smetlivy patrol ship," the source added.
    "These warships will accompany the Azov and Nikolay Filchenkov large landing craft when passing to the Syrian port of Tartus, where the logistics support point of the Russian Navy is located. In the event of an escalation of the conflict in Syria, the Navy ships must ensure the evacuation of Russian citizens from this country," - the interlocutor informed.
    BDK project 1171 "Nikolay Filchenkov" has a displacement of 4650 tons. Length - 113,1 m, width - 15,6 m, draft - 4,5 m. Travel speed - 16,5 knots. The cruising range is 10 thousand miles at 15 knots. Capacity: up to 1500 tons of equipment and cargo. Armament: 57-mm gun mount ZIF-31B, 2x2 25-mm anti-aircraft machine gun 2M-3M, 3x4 PU MANPADS, multiple launch rocket system A-215 "Grad-M". Crew - 55 people.
    Project 775 "Azov" large landing craft has a displacement of 4080 tons. Travel speed - 18 knots Capacity: up to 500 tons of equipment and cargo and 225 paratroopers, tank hold length - 95 m, width - 4,5 m, height - 4,5 m.Dimensions: length - 112,5 m, width - 15 m, draft - 3,7 m.
    Cruising range: 6000 miles at 12 knots. Armament: 1 76-mm gun mount AK-176, 2x6 30-mm gun mount AK-630, 2 multiple launch rocket systems A-215 "Grad-M". As reported by the VZGLYAD newspaper, earlier on Monday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said that there is a plan to evacuate Russians from Syria, but a decision on its implementation has not yet been made.

    Earlier it was reported that the Ministry of Emergencies, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia and the Ministry of Defense prepared a plan for a large-scale operation to evacuate Russian citizens from Syria, according to the document, in a few days the security forces are ready to remove about 30 thousand Russians from the dangerous region.
    Rescuers have provided several ways and routes for the evacuation of Russians. The first way is combined. People will be transported by road to the Syrian ports of Tartus and Latakia and from there by sea to Cyprus, to the port of Larnaca. From there, the refugees will be transported to Russia by aircraft of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Ministry of Defense, as well as by regular flights of Aeroflot and Cyprus Airways on Airbus-320 aircraft (capacity - 180 people).

    Also, in the evacuation, the Russian authorities plan to use four passenger ferries: Apolonia (250 seats), Ant-1 (90 seats), Ant-2 (68 seats) and Nikolay Konarev (75 seats). Now these ferries are in the waters of the Red, Mediterranean and Black Seas. Also, the operation is expected to involve patrol and large landing ships of the Baltic and Black Sea fleets.
    "The capacity of the large landing ships of Project 775 is 130 people, and of Project 1171 - up to 290 people. They can be used on the route - the port of Tartus - Novorossiysk, as well as the port of Tartus [Syria] - the port of Larnaca [Cyprus]," a source in Ministry of Emergency Situations.
    In addition, the evacuation of Russians from Damascus and Latakia airports is envisaged on Il-62, Il-76 and Yak-42 planes, which belong to the Ministry of Emergencies, as well as on Aeroflot and Transaero airbuses. If necessary, the aircrafts of the military transport aviation of the Ministry of Defense, which are already on six-hour readiness at the airfields of Pskov, Taganrog and Orenburg, will be connected to the removal of people from these airports. Taking into account the use of the airspace of Ukraine, Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus and Lebanon, the flight time to Damascus will be 8 hours.

      And the fact that there are only 100 thousand Russians there, the Ukrainian community is 2-3 times more than the Russian community, not counting the former citizens of the USSR.

    In all respects, the world is on the verge of a large-scale crisis comparable to the Caribbean. It is a pity that history does not teach anyone and nothing.

    The Americans, judging by their gestures, are simply sure that the "Yugoslavian" version with a certain admixture of the "Iraqi-Libyan" one will work. But they do not take into account that the death (God forbid!) Of thousands of Russian citizens can in a certain way affect the situation in Russia and the mentality of the Russian military.

    Of course, at first, it will not come to the use of nuclear weapons. But who will prevent the hypothetical captain of a Russian submarine from sinking an American aircraft carrier? Or a group of angry people to arrange a Lynch trial for Western diplomats? There are other options.

    And then the situation will get out of control ...

    Therefore, now even in Israel they began to scratch turnips. These are no longer toys or diplomatic cats - mice. Remember how the Second World War began: the SS men dressed in Polish uniform, led by Alfred Naujoks, seized the premises of the radio station in Gleivice. And get the world over 65 million corpses!

    The Americans did not just play too much. THEY DELIVERED THE WORLD TO THE EDGE OF NUCLEAR WAR !!!

    If ours really took chemical weapons under protection and defense. In this case, Russia acts as an "arbitrator". Like the west says - "we are invading Syria because weapons of mass destruction were used" and ours say - "not a linkage, all the BOV were in our location and no one could use them." This is not a waitress like in Yugoslavia in 99m (Russian Airborne Forces in Prishten) wink
