This first video below is said to show the Russian warship Nikolay Filchenhov leaving the port of Sevastopol from Russia’s naval base in the Black Sea, on Friday. The warship Filchenhov is one of two warships that is en route to the Eastern Mediterranean. The warship set sail to Novorossiysk, where it will then be replenished while picking up ‘secret, special’ cargo before sailing to the Syrian city of Tartus.

The Nikolay Filchenkov is a beachable general-purpose LST-type design Landing Ship capable of deploying a cargo of up to 300 troops and 1,700 tons of military hardware from ramps located at its bow and stern. When travelling at a speed of 15 knots it has a range of 10,000 miles. Onboard firepower includes one 122mm UMS-73 Grad-M bombardment RL and three SA-N-5 Grail launchers missile systems, along with one dual 57mm/70 DP and two dual 25mm AAs. Much more of this story below
A Russian warship with a ‘secret special cargo’ aboard it is being sent to Syria is shared in the breaking story below excerpted from Business Insider. With talk of World War 3 breaking out possibly any moment, what could it be that Russia is now sending to Syria? Warships from China were recently sent to Syria as well, awaiting a possible US attack upon the sovereign nation. A video report on this breaking story is also below from YouTube videographer Mary Greeley. Will the fact that this story has been picked up across the internet including Yahoo news and many more locations help put an end to WW3 before it begins, or has it already begun?

A Russian warship carrying “special cargo” will be dispatched toward Syria, a navy source said on Friday, as the Kremlin beefs up its presence in the region ahead of possible US strikes against the Damascus regime.
The large landing ship Nikolai Filchenkov will on Friday leave the Ukrainian port city of Sevastopol for the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiisk, from where it will head to Syria’s coast, the Interfax news agency quoted a source from the Saint Petersburg-based central naval command as saying.
“The ship will make call in Novorossiisk, where it will take on board special cargo and set off for the designated area of its combat duty in the eastern Mediterranean,” the source said.
The source did not specify the nature of the cargo.
