The Russian guided-missile frigate Admiral Makarov arrives at the Bay of Sevastopol to join Russia's Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, Crimea October 5, 2018.
Russia deployed a new frigate armed with long-range Kalibr cruise missiles to the Mediterranean Sea, Reuters reported in early November, citing the Russian Defense Ministry.
"The Black Sea Navy Fleet's frigate Admiral Makarov left (Navy base) Sevastopol and laid a course for the Black Sea straits. The vessel will be acting in the standing naval force of the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean," the defense ministry said in a statement, Reuters reported.
Russia has previously fired cruise missiles from vessels in the Mediterranean at Syrian rebels in support of Bashar Assad's regime.
In August, Russia deployed its largest naval group to the Mediterranean Sea since 2015, including three other frigates, a missile corvette, a landing ship, two submarines, and more, Reuters reported, citing Russian media.
Here's what the Makarov can be armed with.
