Amid ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, the Russian navy has sortied 5 Ropucha-class landing ships and one Ivan Gren-class landing ship from their Baltic fleet.
AIS data from marinetraffic.com indicates the ships are en route to the English channel. Marineschepen reports that “the supervision was then taken over by Belgian and British naval vessels”.

This amphibious assault flotilla is heading towards the English Channel, and will almost certainly head for the Black Sea.

Three Ropucha-class landing ships were spotted transiting the Straits of Denmark on Monday the 17th, and were captured by Michael Christensen (@tekmic64). Additionally, a Sentinel satellite captured the transit.


On Tuesday the 18th, an additional two Ropucha-class landing ships and one Ivan Gren-class landing ship made the transit.

According to reporting by marineschepen.nl, the hydrographic survey vessel Zr.Ms. Luymes escorted three Russian landing craft through the North Sea, assumed to be the 3 Ropucha-class ships.

The Ropucha-class landing ship can transport 10 main battle tanks and 340 troops or 12 BTRs and 340 troops or 3 main battle tanks, 3 2S9 Nona-S, 5 MT-LBs, 4 army trucks and 313 troops or 500 tons of cargo.

The Ivan Gren-class can transport 40 BTRs or IFVs and 300 troops.

Well they should get those things out once in a while. Built by Poland I believe. Maybe by Piotr.

its not the troops and the tanks the flotilla is carrying that should worry the uk, it is the nuclear tipped missiles they could be carrying that should worry the uk...it may well be a deception on part of the Russians to pretend that they are showing off their amphibious forces' attack capabilities to the uk when in fact, they come far too close to the british shores to launch nukes at such a short range in case of a nato offensive through ukraine, that the uk won't have the time to respond let alone intercept. @aziqbal, you may wanna go on an indefinite vacation to the western hemisphere until the dust settles down...sincere advice.

well that would be foolish and UK intelligence would know exactly what is in those assault ships and what is the purpose

I would prefer Royal Navy to sink them now in the English Channel because we will have to do It in Black Sea in a few weeks anyway

and Royal Navy has a Vanguard Class SSBN below the waves, any stupid move by Russia with nukes will result in the end of Russia

@ "end of Russia", Russia is 100 times the land mass, 3 times the population and a 1000 times the number nukes as compared to the uk. good luck with the "end of Russia"...

the royal navy got a rude bitch slap a year ago just a reminder by the Russians that it was their subs that were hunting the royal navy, not the other way around. so much for the vanguard bucket of bolts, dread thinking what the Russians would do to that poor lone bastard.

and what's up with this "we"? there is no "we" between you and the uk, get that straight, you are there as a favor from the brits, not as a right, brits say that to your face so know that there is no "we" between you and the uk.

go get that indefinite vacation in the western hemisphere while you still can dude...

its not trolling dude, its true, just look at what biden himself is saying, he admitted that Russia will eventually prevail in taking ukraine in spite of u.s. and e.u. supplying weapons to ukraine. which is EXACTLY why the u.s. will do nothing, at best just supply weapons and that too, after taking ukraine's money for a war that is already lost before it even began.
