The New Arab:
Two of Russia’s most high-tech submarines are sailing to the eastern Mediterranean, likely heading for the Moscow’s naval base in Syria.
Kolpino and Veliky Novgorod submarines are capable of carrying cruise missiles, and have been described as “invisible” to enemy radars.
“The Black Sea fleet’s new large diesel and electric submarines, Kolpino and Veliky Novgorod… have arrived in the Mediterranean,” the Russian defence ministry said in a statement.
They will likely join Russian ships based in western Syria, where Moscow boasts a naval port in the city of Tartous and an airbase in Latakia.
