Russia was exposed to the missiles deployed in Syria to "return"

On August 24, local time, a "inconspicuous" Russian cargo ship quietly entered the Black Sea through the Bosptruz Strait through Turkey under the cover of the night. This narrow strait is the only waterway connecting the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Four days after the outbreak of Russia and Ukraine, Turkey announced that the Strait of the Bosptruce "closed the door" to the Russian warship, but the merchant ship could still pass freely.

It is reported that the cargo ship named "Sparta 2" is suspected to be transporting cutting-edge weapons to the Ukraine battlefield-Russian S-300 missile system to Russia. It is reported that the ship was equipped with the S-300 missile and components that were originally deployed in the northern Masiaf in the north on August 20th.

The satellite image shot by Israel's private intelligence company ImageSat International (ISI) shows that in April this year, it was also deployed in Masiaf's S-300 missile, and it was "disappeared" on August 25. At the same time, missile cars and some components appeared on the pier of the port of Taltus from August 12th to 17th, and disappeared on August 20. Military intelligence analysts concluded that these components have been transferred to the Russian cargo ship "Sparta No. 2" and set off to the Ukraine battlefield.

On August 27, Bosptirus's shipping observers stated on social platforms that "Sparta 2" was found to have military goods from Syria Taltus. From August 24th to 25th, the ship was found to enter the Black Sea in the Black Sea. After anchoring near the Russian coast, he arrived at the destination on August 27, the Russian Naval Base, New Roask.

According to reports, Silla is an important naval base near the Crimea Kama Bridge, which means that the S-300 missile will be responsible for strengthening the defense of the carved Chiqiao or other combat areas. One month before that, the UAVs of the Ukrainian army frequently occurred in Crimea.

Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs: I have summoned the Turkish Ambassador to Ukraine

It is reported that it is unclear why Turkish officials are allowed to allow the Russian vessels with military cargo to pass the Bosptruce Strait, and it is not clear whether they "know this is a non -commercial ship."

It is reported that "Sparta 2" belongs to the "OboronLogistika Company" controlled by the Russian Ministry of National Defense, which is mainly responsible for providing transportation and logistics services and was included in the sanctions list by the United States in May 2022. The crew members on "Sparta 2" are civilians and undertake various types of cargo transportation work, but most of them are still transporting military supplies.

According to reports, the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Turkish Ambassador to Ukraine on August 29 and sent a verbal photo to him. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ukraine said, "It is reported that the cargo ship rented by the S-300 missile by the Russian Ministry of Defense is concerned by the Bosptruce Strait from the Syrian Asian Games to the Black Sea." The decision made on February 28, 2022 closed the Bosptruz Strait to the Russian warship during the Russian -Ukraine conflict.

According to reports, Turkitzki, deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, has asked the Turkish side to provide official information about the "Spartan 2" vessels through the Bosptruz Strait.

Fake attention: Where will the S-300 missile system be deployed?

At present, military analysts are paying close attention to where this S-300 missile system will be deployed. Analysts believe that it is the most meaningful place to deploy somewhere near the front line of Ukraine, Crimea or near the Russian -Ukraine border.

However, in view of the previous news about the shortage of Russian missiles, this set of air defense S-300 missiles may also be used as "guided missiles against Ukrainian ground targets". According to reports, Ukrainian military intelligence agencies have previously stated that as Russia and Ukraine conflicts continue for a long time, Russia's "caliber" cruise missiles and "Iskard" ballistic missiles are getting less and less. These two missiles are the two main land attack systems of the Russian army since the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine conflict.

In July of this year, after the "rare" Russian "rare" using the S-300 missile system launched multiple attacks on Miklev, it demonstrated its "little-known land attack ability".Since then, the target of seven "ports and industrial infrastructure" near the port city Miklev was hit by the S-300 missile.In addition, the Russian army also frequently used the KH-32 carrier-based missile to attack the ground target.Some analysts believe that the Russian army is forced to rely on S-300 and KH-32 to combat ground targets as the inventory of ground missiles and cruise missiles has decreased.Analysts pointed out that Russia decided to "recall" the missile system from Syria, so that the moving military resources were "attractive", and it also revealed the urgent needs of "special military operations" in Ukraine.
