Russia To Send Its Aircraft Carrier To the Mediterranean
With the Syrian conflicts going stronger, Russia has planned to deploy its aircraft carrier ‘Admiral Kuznetsov’ in the Mediterranean, as reported by Russian news agency.
"The cruiser will perform a number of missions in an offshore oceanic zone as part of a group," Navy Commander Adm. Viktor Chirkov told the news agency. "Northern Fleet naval pilots will perform a number of missions on board this cruiser in the long-range mission."
The carrier will be ready to join the naval task force by the end of 2013.
The heavy aircraft-carrying missile cruiser is the only one in Russia's fleet, so its deployment is a signal of Moscow's seriousness about protecting their regional interests.
