New units of the Russian Navy entered the Mediterranean tonight.

They are two corvettes, Stoikiy (545) and Soobrazitelny (531) of the Steregushchiy class.

Both ships are part of the Baltic Sea Fleet and have arrived in the Mediterranean to reinforce the Russian fleet (which in recent weeks had seen several units leave the Mediterranean). The two units, however, have smaller capabilities than those that have recently left the Mediterranean (at least one cruiser, one frigate and one submarine).
