Russian cargo ship spotted delivering weapons to Syria

A Russian cargo ship was spotted transiting the Bosphorus Strait recently as it made its way from the Black Sea waters to the eastern Mediterranean, Al-Masdar News reports.

According to the Bosphorus Observer’s Yoruk Isik, the Russian BSF Ropoucha class LSTM Tsezar Kunikov was seen transiting the Bosphorus Stait en route to the Syrian port-city of Tartous.

The Russian ship is likely delivering a large quantity of weapons to Syria, as they previously did in past voyages.
