Russia Supplies Syria with Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles
The state-run Russian channel, "Russia Today", reported that Moscow would be sending the aircraft-carrying missile cruiser, Admiral Kuznetsov, and two escort ships on a two-month tour of the Mediterranean and would be dropping in on the Syrian port of Tartus.
Six hundred Russian technicians are currently working there to renovate it as a base for Russian ships.
Russian military officials rejected suggestions that the naval visit has any connection with the present turmoil gripping the Arab republic, saying the visit was planned a year ago.
"In addition to Syria, the aircraft carrier and its escort ships will pull into port at the Lebanese capital, Beirut, Genoa in Italy and Cyprus," says the former Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral Viktor Kravchenko.
On Thursday, a consignment of Russian Yankhont anti-ship cruise missiles arrived in Syria.
The Yakhont 3M55E supersonic anti-ship cruise missile is capable of hitting targets at ranges of up to 300 km and carrying a warhead weighing more than 200 kg and can combat single surface ships or groups of ships under heavy fire and electronic counteraction.
