The training ship of the Baltic Fleet 210 Smoly left the Black Sea region on 4 September 2015.

Ropucha class Korolev making her south bound passage. Note the cargo on her forecastle between the gun and the rocket launcher. This is highly unorthodox.

Ropucha class Novocharkassk making her southbound passage through Istanbul. She does not have any cargo on her deck.

With the increased Russian presence on the ground in Syria the frequency of Russian warships carrying equipment and supplies to the region has increased too.

We have witnesses southbound passages of 3 Russian landing ships: one Alligator and two Ropucha during the last week. The training ship Smoly also left the Black Sea region and headed back to the Baltic.
