#1 I listened to the briefing by the Navy spokesman about this deployment, and he was so coy I don't think butter would melt in his mouth.

#2 I think the Navy has been paying attention to the recent events in Syria and Lebanon, and has drawn the correct conclusion as to where the orders originated.

#4 KOMMERSANT/ROBONEXPORT > Russia to acquire six aircraft carrying groups in next 20 years, with additional forces and one aircraft carrier per group. Carrier construx will begin within the next 10 years. Iff I read it correctly, circa three CV's will based in the Russ Northern banner fleet + another three CV's in the Russ Pacific Fleet. The Russ Fleet in sum will comprise about 300 "battleships" = warships??? ALSO in KOMMERSANT, Russ will build a new sub base on Kamchatka for its new classes of strategic submarines. RUSS AIR FORCE > Russia will also increase its levels/numbers of LR modern bombers in both North Atlantic + North Pacific-Arctic and increase their anti-naval and strategic missle attack capabilities.
