Fox News: Russian Warship Heads Toward US Destroyers That Launched Strikes Into Syria
By Jeffrey Rodack Friday, 07 Apr 2017 12:37 PM

A Russian warship was steaming toward the area in the Mediterranean where U.S. Navy destroyers launched missile strikes into Syria, Fox News is reporting.
The Russian frigate, Admiral Grigorovich RFS-494, passed through the Bosphorus Strait "a few hours ago" from the Black Sea, the news network said, attributing the information to an unnamed U.S. defense official.

The Russian ship is armed with cruise missiles and is headed the direction of the U.S. warships, according to Fox News.

The news network also reported that one of the American destroyers that launched the missiles into Syria was heading to an undisclosed location to rearm.
The latest moves came after the U.S. attacked a Syrian airbase in retaliation for chemical weapons attack against civilians, including small children.

Meanwhile, the Russian news agency TASS claimed the frigate is on a "routine voyage" and was planning to stop at the Syrian port of Tartus.

These naval maneuvers are common for most countries - to do otherwise would loose face with those they are trying to manage. The only hope is that the maneuvers don't posture or present an attempt to gain an advantage on the other - thus becoming trigger happy. The games afoot Watson - posturing is part all of the game. We saw this done and you also saw it exercised during the Cuban Crisis. Much of this also is occurring in the Med.

I'm also sure there are a few subs in the area bird-dogging as escorts the capital vessels. To this I'm sure a carrier is steaming into range so as to be able to launch air cover if need be. Checks and Balances are always in play. To kids its tit for tats even adults play to games but they are much deadlier.
