Russian Warship Movements Through Turkish Straits (Part 22)

22 Aug 2013 5 Comments

Not a day passes where we do not see yet another Russian warship in the Turkish Straits.

Today, I was able -if only barely- to take photos of the Tarantul class corvette Burya as she was heading to Russia. She sailed to the Med ten days ago.

I am sorry for the quality of the photo. I did not have my proper camera with me and she was far away so I had to use the digital zoom of my compact camera.

And yesterday two Ropucha class large landing ships were seen passing through Bosphorus to the Med.

One of the above shown landing ships is reported to be 151 BDK Azov. She is transferred to the Baltic Fleet. The other one remains unidentified.

So this is the tally of Russian warship movements in 2013:

    Unknown ship with a probability of 95% – “Alexander Shabalin.”
    Он как раз несколько дней назад завершал погрузку.
