Russia's
'Aircraft carrier killer' Varyag and battle cruiser Pyotr Veliky arrive in
Mediterranean . . .
The flagship of Russia’s Pacific Fleet, Varyag, and
the country’s most powerful nuclear-powered battleship, Pyotr Veliky, entered
the Mediterranean Sea on Saturday.
The crew of 'aircraft carrier killer' Varyag will
carry out a number of tasks, some of which will be performed together with the
joint group of Russian Navy ships and vessels stationed in the region, Roman
Martov, press secretary for Russia’s Pacific Fleet, told Interfax news agency.
Varyag is to assume the command of Russia’s Pacific
Fleet in the Mediterranean Sea, replacing missile cruiser Moskva, said
Interfax’s military diplomatic source. He added that there are detachments of
marine units employed on ships and vessels of the Pacific Fleet, while its air
force wing boasts several Ka-27 helicopters that can conduct rescue and
anti-piracy operations and kill submarines.
Apart from Varyag, there are currently several
Russian cruisers in the Mediterranean Sea - including missile destroyer
‘Smetlivy’ and landing craft carriers ‘Aleksandr Shabalin,’ ‘Novocherkassk,’
and ‘Minsk.’
Russia’s most powerful battleship and the flagship
of the Northern Fleet, Pyotr Veliky (Peter the Great), passed through the
Strait of Gibraltar and anchored in the Alboran Sea on November 2.
The warship that left the Northern Fleet's main base
in Severomorsk on October 22 managed to cross the northeastern Atlantic despite
stormy weather conditions. The crew successfully conducted dozens of exercises,
including air defense and anti-submarine training. The cruiser logged over
3,200 nautical miles during the trip.
Viktor Chirkov, admiral of the fleet, said in
September that the Russia Navy is set to build its presence in the
Mediterranean Sea, particularly in the area close to Syrian shores. It intends
to increase its number of battleships in the area by up to ten.

December 2012, establishing a constant presence in the Mediterranean Sea.
