Newsweek:
Russia’s two new cruise missile-armed submarines have entered the Mediterranean Sea, amid state media reports they could be used in Moscow’s operation in Syria.
The two diesel-powered vessels are officially passing Mediterranean waters only on their way from the Baltic Sea, in the north of Europe, to the Black Sea, in Europe’s southeast. Before arriving at their new home port in Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014, the submarines linked up with Russia’s deployment of forces in the Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea Fleet spokesman Vyacheslav Trukhachev told the Interfax news agency Monday.
