Russian Ro-Ro Varyag freighter ship
On Monday night, observers in the Bosphorus Strait spotted and photographed a Russian freighter ship passing from the Black Sea into the eastern Mediterranean; the same sources all report that vessel is bound for the Syrian port city of Tartus.
The Russian ship in question has been identified as the Ro-Ro Varyag (IMO:8019887) which is already well-known for carrying military equipment to Syria.
Sources note that despite the freighter's innocent appearance on the outside, its internal storage bay is undoubtedly filled with heavy weapons and army logistical materials (such as battle tanks, artillery and mission-critical military supplies).
