Winged death

Russia sent three submarines to Syria with the latest cruise missiles of the Caliber class on board. It is reported by The Sunday Times with reference to sources in the British Navy.

We are talking about two Pike-B Peninsula (according to the NATO-Akula classification), as well as about the diesel-electrical boat "Warsaw" or "Paltus" (in the classification of NATO used by the publication, both appear under the name Kilo). The claimed last week these submarines moved out of the bases from the Murmansk region to the North Atlantic and joined the only Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov.

The Admiral Kuznetsov is now claimed and the ships accompanying his ships are standing in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of North Africa.

Meanwhile, the newspaper notes, there are fears that these forces will be used by Vladimir Putin for the final, crushing attack on Aleppo.

The campaign in the Mediterranean Admiral Kuznetsov, along with other ships of the Northern Fleet, began on October 15. The aircraft carrier was accompanied by a heavy atomic missile cruiser Peter the Great, large anti-submarine ships Severomorsk and Vice Admiral Kulakov, as well as four support vessels.

On the 25th, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg expressed "concern" by the fact that Russian ships can be used to "activate air strikes in civilian in Aleppo."

The next day, Spain said that she would withdraw the previously issued permission to enter the Russian ships in the North African port of Seuta, if she receives confirmation that the ships are sent to the shores of Syria to participate in the hostilities. After that, Russia withdrew the request for the entry of ships to Seutu for refueling, referring to the "change in the route".

On October 27, Malta also assured that she would not allow Russian warships to refuel in her ports. At the same time, it was not specified whether the country's authorities received the corresponding request from Moscow.
