USNI: Russian naval exercise


More psychological warfare including the army exercises in Belarus. The US has reported at least 80,000 Russian ground forces massed at the border since March 2021. Ukraine is just a pawn to both sides. The Russians want to keep it a buffer between them and NATO.

Russia began amassing ships in the Black Sea on Tuesday, when three warships entered the Black Sea, USNI News previously reported. The three Ropucha-class tanks ships – RFS Minsk (127), RFS Korolev (130) and RFS Kaliningrad (102) – entered the Black Sea, according to photos that were provided to USNI News.

Ship spotter Yörük Işık recorded the ships entering the Dardanelles Strait Tuesday morning.
Russian-run outlet TASS news service reported the ships are part of a six-amphibious warship task group that are part of naval exercises.

The amphibious ships are smaller, but they can still carry armored vehicles and a couple hundred military personnel, said Steven Wills, a research analyst with CNA.
