Russia keeps the Caliber carriers in the Mediterranean, although they have not been used for years. The ships are on standby after losing access to the base at Tartus.”, — write on: unn.ua

Details
Quite an interesting question, because no application has been observed in recent years. This is their way of presence. There is a permanent operational group there. Previously, it was based in Tartus. As of now, they are “hanging in the sea”. We have been watching how the Russians have been denied access to their own, now former base, the only foreign military and naval base of the Russian Federation for more than 10 days. It’s probably more of a standby now, but of course the ships that are in this convoy that are meant to take their equipment out of Syria are actually being escorted by these combat units. Therefore, here, too, it is necessary to monitor the situation in dynamics. Yes, unfortunately, they still have friendly regimes in Africa, they can probably go there, but still there is no base there
We will remind
