The Russian naval battle group including the flagship aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov is currently in the western Mediterranean Sea heading towards the eastern Med, off Syria’s coast.
The naval group, that has been closely followed and watched by NATO aircraft and warships since departure and subsequent transit through the English Channel then off Portugal and Spain, includes the Pyotr Veliky missile cruiser and, reportedly, three submarines armed with cruise missiles (two Akula-class submarines and a diesel-powered Kilo-class sub).
Mig-29K and Sukhoi Su-33 Flanker-D all-weather carrier-based air defence fighter jets can be seen taking off and landing from the ski-jump of the “heavy aircraft-carrying missile cruiser” Kuznetsov.
