Russian forces in the Mediterranean - Wk28/2022
Task Force Composition
Weekly Brief
Little naval movement remains reported through the means of OSINT. Over the past weeks it has become obvious that more and more surface combatants are docking in Tartus for resupply before heading back to their assigned areas of operations. This could suggest that Russia might be struggling to maintain and supply its task forces in the Eastern Mediterranean, relying more and more at the port facilities offered by Syria.
