Looks like three ex-Russian Polnocny's still at Tartus.
Why does a country with just over 100 miles of shoreline need these?

They're great for moving cargo cheaply along the coast. The fact that they might also be useful for operations in Lebanon can't be ignored, but I doubt that's their primary mission. I'm discounting the idea of operations against Israel directly, since the Polnocnys would die very fast if they tried it. |
