This file photo taken on July 29, 2018 shows a frigate of the project 11356"Admiral Makarov" prior to the Navy Day parade on the Neva river in central Saint Petersburg, Russia. - Two Russian warships armed with cruise missiles were on February 28, 2020 transitting the Bosphorus Strait in Istanbul on their way to Mediterranean waters, as tensions spiralled between Turkey and Russia following the deaths of at least 33 Turkish soldiers in Syria, the military said.

“The frigates Admiral Makarov and Admiral Grigorovich — armed with highly accurate Kalibr-NK missile systems — are carrying out a planned transit from Sevastopol,” fleet spokesperson Aleksei Rulev told the RIA Novosti and Interfax news agencies. The transit came hours after Ankara announced at least 33 Turkish soldiers were killed in Syria’s Idlib province after a strike it blamed on Russia’s ally Damascus.The incident has raised new questions about the sustainability of the alliance between Turkey and Russia to bring peace to Syria.
