The composition of the Russian Navys group of ships in the Mediterranean Sea will be changed within the next few days, a Russian Armed Forces General Staff source said.
The known situation that is currently observed in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea requires us to make certain adjustments to our naval group. A large anti-submarine ship of the Northern Fleet is expected to join it within the next few days. The Black Sea Fleets missile carrying cruiser Moskva, which is now wrapping up its mission in the North Atlantic and will soon head toward the Strait of Gibraltar, will join it a little later, the source said.

My son's AFNG unit is on rotation for deployment (not sure if I'm using the correct terms) and his type of unit are the ones that go in forst with the marines. My brother is a reserve officer and always at risk of going. The though of another action that could put us into a ground war scares the shit out of me and the though of China or Russia getting involved is even scarier.
