One of the two Ropucha class landing ships that passed through the Bosphorus today. Seen through a webcam.
Three Russian warships, the intelligence gathering ship SSV-201 Priazove and two Ropucha class Large landing ships 127 Minsk and 142 Novocharkassk passed through the Bosphorus today. (For newer and better photos of these ships click here.)
Tomorrow these ships will pass through the Dardanelles and enter to the Mediterranean. As the tension is rising in the East Med, no one wonders where these ships are heading.
So this is the tally of Russian warship movements in 2013:

Sorry, but I am disappointed with this images. Very poor.
I agree that the quality of the images are poor. Well that’s life. Sometimes I have the opportunity to see the ships and take their photos, sometimes like today I have to watch them through a web cam.
As Devrim has explained that it life! He does an excellent job and can’t be everywhere! Some news agencies covered the passage of these three vessels. See following link for footage of the intelligence collection vessel going through. Footage of the two landing ships was also shown on TV networks.
