REPORT: Russian warship now heading toward US warships that launched Syrian strikes

Fox News is reporting that a Russian warship is heading toward the area where the two US warships launched the attacks last night on Syria:

FOX NEWS – A Russian warship entered the eastern Mediterranean Friday and was heading toward the area where two U.S. Navy destroyers launched missile strikes into Syria, Fox News has learned.

The Russian frigate, Admiral Grigorovich RFS-494, crossed through the Bosphorus Strait “a few hours ago” from the Black Sea, according to a U.S. defense official.

The Russian warship is now in the eastern Mediterranean steaming in the direction of the U.S. warships.

The Admiral Grigorovich is armed with advanced Kalibr cruise missiles.

Also Friday, one of the American destroyers that launched the missiles into Syria started heading to an undisclosed location to rearm.

It looks like Vladimir wants a show of force in retaliation for the attack on Syria last night.

I’m sure this is nothing more than posturing and let’s hope it remains that way.
