The Kashin Class destroyer was in the Mediterranean, of the coast of Syria in spring, between 2nd April 2012 and 31st May 2012. Her passage of that time was reported in detail in this blog at that time.
Any additional information about the current deployment of Smetlivy is welcomed.

Hallo Klaus, vielen Dank für die zusaetzlichen Information. It is very courageous of Russian Navy to send the destroyer ahead of the rescue tug.
