In these minutes the Russian Navy cruiser Marshal Ustinov is entering the Strait of Sicily. She should be sailing together with the frigate Admiral Kasatonov and the destroyer Vice-Admiral Kulakov. The ship is proceeding at a speed of about 11 knots.

The Russian flottilla off Ireland some days ago

The ships are heading towards the eastern Mediterranean.

It is no coincidence that in these minutes an USNavy Boeing P-8A from Sigonella is carrying out a mission over the Strait of Sicily to monitor the Russian flotilla.
