Other Russian units on the move through the Mediterranean. They have indeed left the port of Tartus, Syria, namely the tug Sergey Balk (which arrived at the end of the year along with the submarine Ufa) and the Repair Ship PM-82.

We know the position of Sergey Balk through AIS (the ship is sailing at 9.9 knots), while the Repair Ship PM-82 periodically issues weather bulletins indicating its own location. Combining the two pieces of information, we can infer that the two ships are traveling together about twenty miles apart from each other.
Apparently, they are heading west to exit the Mediterranean.
