Russian forces in the Mediterranean - Wk47/2023

Task Force Composition
As reported by OSINT at the morning of Nov-25


Weekly Brief
Frigate Admiral Grigorovich arrived at the naval base at Tartus during the week. The vessel significantly increases the maritime combat capabilities of the Russian task force. It remains to be seen if the Buyan-M class corvette Orekhovo-Zuyevo will be detached in the coming weeks for a maintenance in the Baltic Sea. The corvette has been on station for almost two years without undergoing maintenance.

Moma class intelligence vessel Kildin remains at sea, most likely tracking NATO warships that operate mostly in the vicinity of Cyprus.
