A Russian warship was sent to the shores of Syria to carry out electronic warfare attacks on US aircraft.

At the end of January 2021, it became known that the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy had sent its Project 22160 stealthy combat ship Dmitry Rogachev to the Mediterranean Sea. The goals of the appearance of the latter in the eastern Mediterranean were unknown, however, as it turned out, this military vessel was designed to fight with American reconnaissance aircraft.

"The command of the Russian Black Sea Fleet has confirmed that the stealth ship Dmitry Rogachev is anchored in the port and" will perform duties as part of a permanent operational unit of the Russian Navy. " The ship can stay at sea for 60 days in a row. Its maximum speed is 30 knots, a displacement of 1700 tons, a crew of 80, and a range of 6000 nautical miles. From the above, it is clear that Russia is strengthening its operational capabilities in the southeastern Mediterranean, while developments are expected in Syria after Biden assumed the US presidency.
