Michael Evans, Defence Editor
Russia displayed its military strength in the Mediterranean yesterday after
warships heading to Venezuela passed through the Strait of Gibraltar in the
second deployment of Russian naval vessels in the waterway since the Cold
War.
The nuclear-powered missile cruiser Peter the Great, accompanied by the Admiral
Chabanenko, an anti-submarine destroyer, as well as a reconnaissance
vessel and a support ship, are destined for a maritime exercise with the
Venezuelan navy.
