| #6 The Moskva carries sixteen SS-N-12 Sandbox missiles. A rather nasty antiship missile, similar to the Harpoon. The ship itself is an older design (recently overhauled), built according to the Soviet strategy of the "one fell swoop" attack. Hence what you see on deck is what you get. |

| #5 Zero just lost/lost. If he strikes, there will be counter strikes, then things spiral down. If he backs off, the big dogs (Russia/China) will feel tremendously emboldened, they OWNED the US. |

| #1 "Interfax quoted a source in the armed forces' general staff as saying Russia, Syria's most powerful ally, was deploying a missile cruiser from the Black Sea Fleet and a large anti-submarine ship from the Northern Fleet in the "coming days" According to Jane's, the ASW ship doubles as a fleet tug for towing. |
