Could Ukraine strike the 3 rusian ships stuck in the Mediteranean? The logistics ship Sparta and the large landing ships “Ivan Gren” and “Olexander Otrakovsky” are currently forbidden by the Syrian government to enter Tartus port.

1. We can only hope. 🇺🇦

2. Doubtful all the countries they would need to pass over or close to would tolerate their drones or cruise missiles. Turkey, Cyprus, Lebanon and Israel would all be within detection area. They would all blow a gasket.

   They could send a team and sabotage them, however.

3. Could? Sure, they can, but they should NOT! It would be a huge political disaster with unforeseeable international consequences.

4. Theoretically, yes, practically no. I don’t think they have any way of getting sufficient military equipment there. Also, I don’t think they have much incentive. Those warships do not pose an immediate threat to them.

5. Send sigarettes

6. I hope so

7. Let them load the ships and then take it over.

8. It would require a special forces frogman team as getting cruise missiles and drones there is unrealistic

9. just drop 10 maguras in the Mediterranean from some container ship and job done, ruzia aint got GPS jamming nor 20 helicopers to defend…but probably smarter to do it after they’ve loaded all the extra cargo :>

10. If they’re in another country’s legal waters it might create diplomatic problems. The new Syrian Government probably dont want to deal with acts of war in their territory & Ukraine probably want to antagonise a potential ally.

    *But* I would not be surprised if Ukr have contingencies in place to attack them if they move to international waters.

    I dont know if it would be possible as well. Ukr has ships but nothing in the class of these.

11. Of course they should!!
