Later, according to the source, “the Moscow Black Sea Fleet’s missile cruiser“ Moscow ”will join it, which is now completing tasks in the North Atlantic and will soon begin a transatlantic transition towards the Strait of Gibraltar”.

In addition, according to him, in the fall the Mediterranean grouping of the Navy should be replenished by the Pacific Fleet missile cruiser Varyag, which will replace the large anti-submarine ship Vice-Admiral Panteleev, currently performing combat missions as part of the operational force, Interfax reports.

Earlier it was reported that the frigate Chevalier Paul (“Chevalier Paul”), one of the most modern in the French fleet, departed from the port of Toulon to the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. Prior to this, it became known that Washington sent two aircraft carriers to the Gulf region: Harry Truman and Nimitz.

Waste of fuel and that’s all, we won’t help Syria. And we will show our weakness. Our cruisers are beautiful and that’s all...

The composition of the ship group in the Mediterranean Sea does not correspond to the declared combat readiness. It does not include a FTB (floating missile-technical base) for storing additional various ammunition, including tactical nuclear weapons. There is no hospital ship to receive wounded military personnel, in the event of possible intentional or unintentional strike by Coalition forces on Russian ships. In addition, a hospital ship is extremely necessary for preventive measures aimed at maintaining the combat readiness of marines and ship crews. In the absence of bases and logistics points in the naval theater. The naval group does not have the opportunity to undergo an emergency dock inspection in a dry dock, if necessary. There is no air cover for the ships and vessels of the group. Reconnaissance capabilities are extremely scarce and limited, there is no air (completely) and space reconnaissance (partially).

  PRTB is not necessary, Vulcans and even Rastrub-B are not loaded at sea, only in the base.
  A hospital ship - in case of war, it will not help, so the ship's facilities and the capabilities of the hospitals in Tartus will suffice.
  Air cover - but there is no way to create it, because even if there is an Air Force base, for example in Tartus, it is trivial to ferry planes, because there is no route from Russia to Syria through neutral or friendly countries.
  Intelligence capabilities - 2 SRZK disagree with you.

    PRTB are intended not only for the actions you indicated. Not ship facilities, but ship ones. On ships, there is a maximum medical unit or medical unit, without resuscitation and rehabilitation equipment. Ship premises and medical services are not intended to provide assistance to a massive flow of wounded, rehabilitation. A fully equipped hospital in Tartus for There have never been any Russian military personnel. Which commander will go ashore to transfer wounded subordinates to the shore in an uncertain situation? Who will ensure the safety and defense of the wounded and medical personnel in a civil war? The capabilities of the RZK. currently part of the group are limited to primitive radio interception. on Ishim and other ancient equipment from the late 7-70s.

    Why is there no route? Now planes fly from Russia to Syria. Or until Lebanon, as a last resort.

all Saturday and Sunday, the Northern Fleet is fighting and, most importantly, according to science, at night with low clouds, the bpk and the swim up without hiding indicate maneuvers, Kuzya and Petka are heating the boilers, Vikramaditya is maneuvering at full speed next to the Kola, it’s creepy to be honest, this is probably how it will all start

Finally, Russia actually intervened in at least one armed conflict. Otherwise, the Americans have completely lost their fear. Let's give them a second Pearl Harbor!

Who is familiar with international law? I have a question:
- Now, if a Russian destroyer launches a missile at a US destroyer, it will be an act of aggression. But if a Russian destroyer shoots down a missile launched (somewhere, not necessarily at it) by a US destroyer, will this be an act of aggression?
Maybe then Russia should announce missile defense training exercises for about 6 months. The United States will launch targets, and we will shoot them down. Skills for them and for us, peace for the Syrians. Please give a clear answer.
Threat. Sorry if I said something stupid.

Yes.

No. This is self-defense.

The idea is not bad, all that remains is to find seaworthy destroyers and weapons transport for them (if you propose to use them as floating batteries) and as I quite rightly wrote above gunnerminer - deploy the PRTB.

Amer’s aircraft carriers have instructions not to come close to ships armed with Granit, and the cruiser Moskva has them. So it’s not a bad factor to curb the Yankees’ self-confidence. In any case, their aircraft carriers will not behave so freely.

  There is one more point: the farther they stand, the longer it takes them to fly and the greater the chance of spotting them. And most importantly, it’s nice that they feel sick :)
  
  Threat... if only about 5 submarines would have indicated their presence not far from their AUG. So... unexpectedly they surfaced out of nowhere and also disappeared into nowhere. So that the service doesn’t seem like honey to the Americans, the nerve cells are not restored... as in the joke: - “...Sleep Abramchik, let Izya worry now”

By the way, following the example of France, it is possible to form a foreign legion (a native or wild division) from guest workers from the Caucasus and Central Asia and throw them at similar hot spots.

And what these natives will do is just rob and pinch girls. I don’t understand how they are promoting this division to the limit; it was nothing special. And its uniqueness was that at that time only Russians served in the army, but here they recruited soldiers of a different nationality. In the First World War they fought bravely, like all the soldiers and sailors of the Russian army, no doubt. It was only after the battles that the wild division was followed by numerous convoys with loot. Here is the "Iron Division" by A.I. Denikin is strength. Glory to Russian weapons.

Lord God, what nonsense has been written.
However, the commentators - leavened - keyboard - hurray - are generally burning.
I'm out. I had already taken off my shoulder straps and hung them in the far corner of the closet for funeral purposes, but this did not stop me from constantly communicating with colleagues who are closely occupied with ships.
Well, here's the latest from the respected:

In order to shoot down everything that flies, a large BC is needed. Whether they will be able to ensure reloading of air defense systems in combat conditions is a question.

I answer, in combat conditions, reloading (except from the cellar supply drums themselves) is not necessary, in principle. Either the ship will sink or the attacking side will consider the losses unacceptable.
Further, for those who finish only at the sight of a picture of the TARKR "Peter the Great", this ship, in the force presence version, is standing in the roadstead and trying to cover one direction. And they will hit everyone.
Opportunities: what they greedily masturbate over, the Fort air defense system is a naval version of the first modifications of the S-300, the rest is self-defense at close range.
Should you calculate an ASP outfit to suppress the air defense capabilities of this particular ship?
Further, “Moscow” and “Varyag” - the source disgustingly screwed up. In the first lines of the letter: the RKR data is outdated, in fact, they have already approached the standard “bar” for withdrawal from the Navy. Accordingly, nothing serious is being done on them. Neither the main complex nor the onboard S-300F can operate. The complexes are inoperative - is this clear?
Now these two RKRs perform the functions inherent in the concept - “gunboat diplomacy”

But “Granit” is not outdated for them

Dear, I admit that you have not been on any of these ships, but let’s at least look at the performance characteristics of Project 1164 cruisers on flot.com and you can read there. You'll get as far as Star Wars. Where did they get the “Granites” from?

Is it correct to think that Russia, in the event of a (large-scale) conflict in Syria, will not be able to help it from the sea, much less from land?

I agree they are not there, I was mistaken, they are on Petra and on the nuclear submarine. But there are Russian sailors there who, even with the S-300f, can make such a fuss that these peddlers of democracy talk about...
Why do you think that the S-300F is not operational?
