According to our observations Ropucha class landing ship and a reliable member of Syrian Express, Alexander Otrovski passed through Turkish Straits 20 times in both directions. She is closely followed by Tsezar Kunikov with 19 passages and by Novocharkassk with 18 passages.
Below is the list of the ships with 10 or more transits through Turkish Straits. It should not suprise anyone, that all of them are Russian Navy landing ships.
| Name | Northbound | Southbound | Total |
| Alexander Otrakovski | 11 | 9 | 20 |
| Tsezar Kunikov | 9 | 10 | 19 |
| Novocharkassk | 8 | 10 | 18 |
| Korolev | 7 | 10 | 17 |
| Nikolay Filchenkov | 7 | 9 | 16 |
| Azov | 6 | 8 | 14 |
| Saratov | 7 | 7 | 14 |
| Yamal | 5 | 6 | 11 |
| Alexander Shabalin | 5 | 5 | 10 |
Kindly note that these 272 transits are compiled by actual spotting of these ships mostly in Istanbul and sometimes in Çanakkale Straits. Therefore the list is not complete but I would say %99 correct.
