Yesterday and today we have witnessed a increased activity of foreign warships in Turkish Straits.
Yesterday the US Navy destroyer DDG-71 USS Ross made her second deployment to the Black Sea. As she was passing through the Bosphorus she has encountered 2 Russian landing ships, Novocharkassk and Kaliningrad making their southbound passage. This trio was later followed by the Bulgarian minehunter Priboi.
Today we have seen the Russian intelligence gathering ship Kildin making her southbound passage. Who knows maybe she is going to shadow the Mavi Balina ASW exercise, starting on 6 November.

Dupuy DeLome is in the Med, not in Blacksea
Thank you. I have corrected it.
