Russian warship tracked near British waters

A Russian cargo ship, the Baltic Leader, was tracked in the English Channel, carrying military hardware from Syria, escorted by the warship Boikiy, on March 3, 2025.
The Baltic Leader is sanctioned by the US for transporting military supplies, and this marks the third time in four weeks that Russian vessels have transported weapons from Syria via the Channel.
Joseph Byrne, a senior analyst, stated that Tartus is a port where Russia has been storing military equipment, likely awaiting transport.
James Droxford noted that the Baltic Leader's cargo could reinforce Russia's combat capability in Ukraine, making its transit highly significant.
