On November 1, the Zvezda TV network (run by the Russian Ministry of Defence) released a series of videos that show the Russian naval task force in the Mediterranean sea. The task force is now heading to the Syrian shores where they will join the Russian military grouping involved in anti-terrorist operations in the country.
The videos show the Poytr Velikiy nuclear-powered battlecruiser, the Admiral Kuznetsov heavy aircraft-carrying missile cruiser, the Severomorsk anti-submarine destroyer, the Vice-Admiral Kulakov anti-submarine destroyer and support ships. According to reports, three attack submarines are also a part of the task force. Nonetheless, they weren’t shown in the videos.
