We had witnessed a lot of Russian naval traffic in the last 4 days. First the landing ships Azov and Novocharkassk returned from their Mediterranean deployment on Sunday. Immediately one day later a new couple of landing ships Alexander Shabalin and Alexander Otrakovski  were observed making a southbound passage.

And today the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, cruiser Moskva and the replenishment tanker Ivan Bubnov made their southbound passages through Turkish Straits. Moskva made her first southbound passage through Turkish Straits mid April to participate in the Sino-Russian naval exercise in the Med and returned for a 7 day stop.

    It looks like Moskva’s sole purpose to go back to the Black Sea was to escort landing ships (which seem to be heavy for a south bound passage).
