Furthermore, the Russian ship was seen carrying military cargo that is likely to be transported to the Syrian Arab Army and their allies in northwestern Syria.
Another ship was spotted leaving Russia recently; it was transporting military hardware to Syria, including BMPs, tanks, and technical vehicles.
With the Ro-Ro Sparta III heading to Syria, the Russian Navy now has more than 15 vessels in the Mediterranean, which is the largest naval buildup of this war.
