Russia sent to the shores of Syria reconnaissance ship "Priazovye"

Russia's Defense Ministry has decided to increase the number of scout ships in the Mediterranean Sea for better lighting conditions near the coast of Syria, a source in the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces.

“Strengthening the actions to open and cover the situation in the sea areas adjacent to the Syrian coast will be due to a slight increase in the number of Russian reconnaissance ships in the Mediterranean Sea,” said a source, ITAR-TASS.

“In particular, on Sunday the Black Sea reconnaissance ship set off for the Syrian shores fleet “The Azov Sea,” he specified.

Last week, a source in the Russian General Staff reported that the command of the Russian Navy, in connection with the situation around Syria, decided to update the ship composition of the permanent operational connection in the Mediterranean. In the coming days, a large anti-submarine ship of the Northern Fleet will replenish the Navy grouping. And later, “the missile cruiser of the Black Sea Fleet“ Moscow ”will join it, which is now completing tasks in the North Atlantic and will soon begin the transatlantic transition towards the Strait of Gibraltar.

Note that the French frigate Chevalier Paul ("Chevalier Paul"), one of the most modern in the French fleet, also sailed to the eastern part of the Mediterranean.

In addition, there are five US warships equipped with cruise missiles in the region — the destroyers Stout, Makhan, Gravely, Barry, and Reymage. Also 18 August in the Arabian Sea arrived a group of ships as part of the aircraft carrier "Harry Truman", missile cruisers "Gettysburg" and "San Jacinto", destroyers "Balkeli" and "Mason". In addition to them, in the zone are "Nimitz" and a group of support ships. Moreover, the duty of some ships had already come to an end, but they remained in the region by order of the command of the US Navy.

The situation around Syria escalated after August 21 media, citing opposition to the statements reported the alleged use of chemical weapons in the suburbs of Damascus. Thereafter, in the West, where the application formerly known as sarin Syrian authorities under direct intervention in the conflict, openly talking about a possible military intervention in the Arab republic.

But is it only a scout ??? it is not yet known what he has on board there (maybe a radiator which thread ..)

It is enough to simply transmit data on the launches of cruise missiles, takeoffs of fighter and bomber aircraft, as well as the location of ships and submarines, to Syrian air defense. I hope the rest will be done by Syrian air defense.

It’s more likely under water. Maybe some submarine with ali cruise missile anti-ship missiles!

[artemiy]

We still have submarines there!

[Canep]

There would be a couple of A-50s sent there for shift loitering. The Americans will not dare to "suppress" these radars, at least I hope so.

[Cormorants]

Will track missile launches and transmit coordinates to Syrian missiles

[Cynic]

Quote: Cormorants

Will track missile launches

Our launches of BR are monitored from home, I think the matter will not be for the KR, but, in any case, a clear demonstration of solidarity with the people of Syria!
And the data from the ship of the Russian Navy is purely psychologically reliable and more adequate to perception than any other data!
Yes, regarding the availability of our ships. To be honest, holivar is everything!

[Scarte]

He who is warned is armed! We will work with our ears, since fists do not work)

[Ingvar 72]

Kuznetsov needs to be sent.

[sergey72]

The "Kuznetsov" GEM is "dead" and there is almost no air group.

[Canep]

I heard the news that "Kuznetsov is already going there."

[Cormorants]

How many ships are being pulled there. No matter how they shoot each other. Syria we are with you.

[dojjdik]

"Nimitz" itself is actually a "big stadium". the most dangerous are aircraft of the AWACS system; but Syria has good "jammers" of our design; well, mobile air defense (beech, torus,) et against the "axes" (US junk); of course, it would be nice to overwhelm the carrier-based aircraft - even more than 50 ml of loss to the states at once

[smart ass]

Exactly 50 million loss !! A country that prints money from waste paper !! Cool) Significant damage to the United States can be done by killing as many marines as possible, but in general it would be more mormal

[shark]

Failing an aircraft carrier is certainly good, but it would be more effective to sink a landing ship with 2000 marines on board. God forgive me! but it would have a huge resonance, from such losses amers simply fall into a stupor

[awg75]

Americans will stupidly infuriate from such losses and create a new Hiroshima in Syria

[shark]

it’s one thing to iron innocent with axes, another to catch the carcasses of fur seals in an amount commensurate with the population of a small town ..

[Hitrovan07]

You forgot the strength of the aircraft carrier: crew - 3200 people,
wing - 2480 people (took from the wiki - but about a shard of 6 thousand).

[Oleg14774]

would fill up a decked aircraft - even more than 50ml loss to states immediately

And better two, no, three, no, all the same, better than four.
But seriously, it would be better if there wasn’t a war anyway, and if it starts, then bring everything down, together with the AUG. It’s not a pity, since they are bombing children, and the elderly, and women.

[Circle]

It seems that the reason for the delay in the attack was shot down by Syrian air defense F-22 and four tamahawks (the main weapon of democratization). If so, then Russia is not so aloof as many want to imagine http://svpressa.ru/war21/article/73572/?rpop=1

Yesterday there was a refutation. What they say was seen near the borders, but they didn’t begin to beat .. sorry.

[Kavtorang]

Nevermind yourself group deployed
So this is not yet everyone has counted, although it is not so sour: 7 Berks, 2 Ticonderogs, 2 aircraft carriers, at least 2 Los Angeles nuclear submarines, a warrant for Nimitz, most likely one more of 4 -x "Ohio", re-sharpened under cruise missiles. I somehow even in theory find it difficult to calculate their first MPAU.

[little man]

It looks like a large-scale exercise. Where Syria is a great learning target.

[Dwarfik]

Information is never superfluous.

[Sirs]

I'm just foolish how a separate country can vote in its parliament to expose one or another country with blows, I understand if this country acted on its own, otherwise it turns out the entire NATO bloc and individual states shout "we are going north, we are going north ... "already anticipating how their master will throw a bone for them to gnaw.
These states must have a sense of national dignity.

[donavi49]

NATO has already stated that it will not take part in the operation, however, individual members will. At the same time, in the event of a regime’s attack on these members (a thick hint of Turkey), NATO will act on the basis of instructions to attack the Alliance.

et against the "axes" (US old stuff);

Do not want to show us the Russian development of a similar purpose and capabilities or with superior parameters, which is in service. Only do not wag chur - ship / boat option.
And tell me, just no offense, have you ever heard anything about BLOCK modernization programs with numbers? After all, they are very widespread not only on the "Tomahok" SLCM, well, here's the tactical fighter F-16C / D "Faiting Falcon" Block 50. And about the modernization programs with a letter Latin index?

[dojjdik]

yes, do not juggle terms; Have you ever sat at the radar control panel? lt's lie the main "friend: alien", and strobation and start are almost the same; and yet, we, let alone Syria, do not need offensive weapons; but for defensive we have a turn

[Vtel]

Our scout will be like a bone in his throat.

[Wedmak]

The parties stand in battle formations. It remains to wait, who will begin the first active action.

[Bashkaus]

it wouldn’t be a bad idea to open a ball in Russia by hammering on missile defense facilities)) Then a dumb scene wakes up, then a tantrum, but here the most important thing is to slap a tantrum (USA) in time to bring it to life. The risk is of course present, but still.

[Wedmak]

Rather, it will not be a mute scene, but a retaliatory strike by ICBMs. Enough hawks in the Pentagon. Including to remove Obama from command and unleash a war game.

[Bashkaus]

This is exactly where I disagree with you at the root and will argue upholding my position:
The United States has the illusion of the imaginary security they receive from missile defense, so their whole philosophy boils down to the fact that in the event of a conflict with the Russian Federation they are so good at killing most of our missiles with their missile defense, while they deliver us an unrequited blow.
Therefore, Russia is doomed to FIRST to begin all this catastrophe with a preemptive strike on missile defense positions, the destruction of these positions guarantee the safe launch of our missiles, another way out, wait for the US attack and launch missiles in response knowing that they will be shot down.
And as soon as the missile defense system is taken out of the game, whether someone likes it or not, all the plans of the Americans for an unanswered strike come to naught, and they are faced with the only option for a retaliatory nuclear strike with all the ensuing consequences with "unacceptable damage" for them. And then another question arises, it's one thing to wave your fists with a shield from the missile defense shield and hope for its protection, and quite another to get into a fight knowingly about the fatality of the outcome in any situation. The principle of guaranteed mutual destruction allowed the world to hold out for an extra 50 years until the United States withdrew from the treaty.
That is why I believe that in the event of an aggravation of the situation, Russia needs to be awakened to strike first, we have nothing to lose, but America will have to think hard after that whether they are sure of the correctness of their actions.
Correct me if I am not right not with minuses, but with convincing arguments)))

[Wedmak]

I don’t minus adequate interlocutors, no matter how our opinions differ.
I don’t think that Americans really hope for their missile defense. How many are there? Well, they will intercept a dozen rockets, the rest will break through. Damage will not be acceptable in any case. Neither for us nor for them.
We will destroy the west of the USA, they will destroy the central part and factories in the Urals. Two countries will disappear as a whole. But the problem is that the USA is fenced off from the rest by the oceans and possibly will be reborn, and our territory will be open to everyone - grab whoever you want, China, Europe, they will want to piece by piece. And people like McCain (and there are behind the scenes and worse) will make sacrifices for the destruction of Russia.

[EtickayaSila]

Yes, yes, yes .... it already reminds me of something ... I remember that during the barbaric destruction of Yugoslavia, Borya, threateningly blowing his cheeks, also sent some reconnaissance ship to the region. The NATO was sooo afraid of him.

[Bashkaus]

I don’t remember how they were afraid of Boria, but the whole NATO unit was even considered with two hundred paratroopers who appeared in the pristine as a devil from a snuffbox.

[shinobi]

It’s quite expected in general that. And it’s logical. And the whole ship’s grouping there just to protect a couple of small, modest little boats. May God forbid the mattresses have a desire to capture them. Actually this fact makes it cool to scratch the Yankees strategists in the back of the head, they they themselves admitted, since these boats negate the surprise of the strike for Syrian air defense. Asymmetric answer, so to speak.

[MstislavHrabr]

An asymmetric response will be in the event of a Syrian strike in response to the oil producing regions of Qatar and Saul Arabia ...

Here with the first part of the phrase - I agree to all 100-500! With the second part, no. Where is the turn? Give a link - I admit that I’m not right

[uhu189]

I would like to believe that the concentration of the ships of our fleet will help stop the USA and make the thugs driving there think a little about what they are doing ... At least a week has passed, but no blows have happened, so there is some benefit ...

[Bashkaus]

My short-term forecast for a month or two: War does not wake.
Now Moscow is going there, as I understand it, the Varangian should wake up to join it, if this is true, then the very powerful group C300 Reef will cover the Syrian coast and there’s nothing to figure out where and where it flies in the affected area, to land everything indiscriminately. And who doesn't like it, 32 KR Volcano instead of a tub of cold water.

That is good. This is an adult. +

Yes, well - come up with the same thing. They decide to beat - they will beat. The forces and assets in the theater are concentrated with a guaranteed margin. What is there - enough to break through any air defense system - just oversaturated channels.
Do not exaggerate the capabilities of the missile defense system - yesterday the forum member GUNNERMINER gave a brief but comprehensive information on these ships.
Indeed, if the SRZK crew buys gadgets in automobile stores for their money with a combination of the GPS function and some other crap and RU fleet, this turns a blind eye ... What are we talking about?

[uhu189]

And what is there to come up with - I don’t know what you managed to bring to Syria, and what is there. We will not guess, if God forbid, a blow happens, then in the course of the play we will judge who buys what there and in which stores. So far, the fact is clear - despite a very militant rhetoric a week has passed - and nothing. And half of those who threatened loudly were already blown away, so it is not so simple, and obviously this is not with a lack of evidence about the chemical. the attack is connected ... Judge by deeds, not by words ...

Urgently. Less than 5 minutes of news.

TEL AVIV, Sep 3 - RIA News. Launches recorded in the Mediterranean were carried out by Israel together with the United States, the representative of the Israeli Ministry of Defense told RIA Novosti.

"The launches were carried out as part of joint tests with the United States. The missiles were launched from the Mediterranean Sea and were successfully tracked by radar in Israel," the source said.

[Wedmak]

Israel decided to play a little on the nerves.
