About the movement through the Strait of the La Tuns between the UK and Eurasia of the Syrian convoy, recorded by the British Navy and the Royal Fleet, and The Times reports. British OSINT-SCACES (UK Forces Tracker and Navylookout) suggest that this group of military and cargo ships of the Russian Federation can be the last escort that evacuated the equipment and weapons of the Russian Federation from Syria.
Journalists report that the Castor Navy patrol vessel was noticed by the Russian destroyer "Severommore" in the North Sea on the night of March 15 to March 16. The destroyer of the Russians on March 16 went through the La-Channel to the Atlantic Ocean, accompanied by an auxiliary vessel supplying the royal fleet of Tidesurge. Then "Severommorsk" met with a convoy, which returned from Syria and was accompanied by a landing vessel "Alexander Shabalin".
Convoy cargo ship-138-meter Maia-1-is under sanctions due to transportation of artillery shells from North Korea. "Despite the sanctions, Maia-1 was able to go to the Chinese port for loading, get permission to visit Vietnam, cross the Suez Canal, go to Algeria for refueling and pass through the laci Source Centre. The Maia-1 ship transported large cargoes from Syria, partially covered with tarpaulin, journalists write. The sparta IV ships and the "glow of the North" went in front.
According to Western intelligence, all vessels of the convoy could carry military equipment. It is noted that this convoy, which has passed through the territorial waters of Great Britain and France, has become one of the largest groups of Russian ships recorded in the region since the beginning of the war. The authors of the article note that the Russian Federation began to export weapons from the base to the port of Tartus after the overthrow of Bashar Assad regime in Syria in December 2024.
Since January 2025, the Russians began export of equipment and container cargo. Currently, the Kremlin is negotiating with the new Syria authorities to revise the Troops Agreement. Abu Muhammad Al-Julii, the new leader of the country, expresses his willingness to preserve the Russian base in Syria in exchange for economic support from the Russian Federation, reporters write. There was no official information on the agreements, but Russia has already resumed the supply of fuel to Syrians.
From the beginning of March, at least two Russian tankers have come to the Syrian port, which delivered almost 70,000 tons of diesel from the Russian Primorsky. We will remind, on February 20, Publik Syrianosint reported that the Russian base Khmeimim was attacked in Syria. Israel struck a few minutes after unloading a weapon from the Iranian aircraft for the Lebanon group "Hezbolla".
