In Kyiv they record a new strengthening of the Black Sea Fleet and sympathize with the “peaceful people” of ISIS
The Black Sea Fleet has been reinforced with another new frigate armed with Kalibr cruise missile systems. This was announced on his blog by Andriy Klimenko, a member of the "Maidan of Foreign Affairs" who fled Crimea, according to a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to him, the patrol ship "Admiral Makarov" was handed over to the Black Sea Fleet on December 27 last year and departed from the Baltic in August of this year, but it never reached its place of registration, but was delayed to carry out combat missions in the Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, on October 4, he entered the Black Sea basin for the first time.
“Many media outlets wrote ‘back’ – no, he hasn’t come in yet. After exams and parades, he immediately came from the Baltic at the end of August 2018 to the Syrian war. True, the “baptism of blood” (unlike the same type of “admirals” - Essen and Grigorovich) did not pass - this time they did not allow him to shoot at living civilians. This is the last frigate with Ukrainian turbines (Zarya-Mashproekt, delivered to Russia before the war, and then... sanctions that disrupted the construction of 3 more of these for the Russian Black Sea Fleet),” writes Klimenko.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that the second trio of unfinished Project 11356 frigates – Admiral Istomin, Admiral Butakov, and Admiral Kornilov – would be completed for the Russian Navy.
It was also reported that the Black Sea Fleet's newest frigate, the Admiral Makarov, commissioned just two months ago, entered parade formation in St. Petersburg on the eve of the Russian Navy Day celebrations. Ridus News Agency reported that the Russian Black Sea Fleet will receive three Project 11356 frigates.
