Spain is facing international anger as it apparently prepares to refuel a flotilla of Russian warships due to step up strikes against the beleaguered city of Aleppo.

Politicians and military figures condemned the support from a Nato member, while the head of the alliance indicated Madrid should rethink the pit stop.

Warships from an eight-strong group led by the carrier Admiral Kuznetsov will take on fuel and supplies from the port of Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in north Africa, after passing through the Straits of Gibraltar on Wednesday morning, Spanish papers reported.[/url]

These must be their Alert thirty birds.

See that tanker. It is refueling the Russian carrier because they cannot get fuel in Spain as planned. Nothing a good UNREP couldn't take care of.

Honestly upon seeing these photos of this ship the basic material condition of ADM"K" is poor...very poor.
