The vessels departed from Tartus, Syria, and are heading to Russia, transporting military vehicles and equipment being repatriated following Russia’s withdrawal from Syria.
During their journey, the ships were shadowed by NATO naval and air units. While transiting through the Strait of Gibraltar, they were closely followed by the Spanish patrol vessel Furor (P-46).
