Russia is sending four warships on a military exercise to the Mediterranean Sea near Syria, the country's southern military district told state news agency RIA Novosti on Tuesday.
The agency did not report on the exact whereabouts of the exercise, however Russia's Southern Military District, which is sending the ships, told RIA that it would take place in "the eastern Mediterranean." Russia's main naval facility in the region is a resupply base in Syria, near the port of Tartus.
According to the state agency, two of the four ships taking part in the exercise are already deployed in the Mediterranean from their stations in the Black Sea. The Moskva cruiser and Ladniy patrol vessel are currently on their way there to join them. It has not yet been reported when they are due to arrive to begin the exercise.

Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, I’d wager.
Raising the ante.
I need to know what sort of ships and if they carry troops. If they are a few Gunboats OK—if its the cruiser Peter the Great, flagship of the fleet—that’s another story.
Putin is using Russian Marines —Tougth as Nails SOBs who would like nothing better than to take on ISIS Thugs. We should be joining them—not trying to stop them. Imagine what wonders we could do with Russia and USA worked together?

I wonder why we hold onto cold war antagonisms; Russia would be a huge ally if we worked together as a team.
