Egypt will refuel these ships. They are a close ally to Putin.

Everyone can laugh all they want about changes in the logistics for resupplying the diesel black smoke carrier, but the fact remains those planes in her below deck hangars can fly, have bombs and missiles.

Even if there isn’t a local diesel station for them now, there is likely Russian diesel tanker(s) on the way.

You need to read the article......

The ship lacks the fuel to make it to Egyptian ports

Not to mention, Egypt is a member of the Coalition opposing Syria
