The Russian Navy Report

A Continuing Theme

With all the attention on Syria it's hard to find any other news about the Russian Navy. I managed to find some as well as the main news out of the Russian Navy.

Syria- 

We have covered this topic a lot lately. Now it has been confirmed that Russia is sending two warships with Naval Infantry to protect the base at Tartus, and to protect Russian citizens in Syria. This is a small commitment of forces and despite what the media is saying I don't believe that this is an escalation from the Russian side. 

Here is the article in English

RIMPAC

RIMPAC is the largest naval exercises in the world, and for the first time the Russian Navy has chosen to participate in the exercise. The Russian Navy send the large ASW ship Admiral Panteleev to take part in the exercises.

Here is a short article in English, and here is an article in Russian explaining why Russia is taking part in RIMPAC.
