Russian Navy
Kremlin's maritime force
The Russian Navy is the naval warfare branch of Russia's armed forces, historically among the world's largest fleets.
It operates submarines, surface warships, and naval aviation across four main fleets: the Northern, Pacific, Baltic, and Black Sea.
The Russian Navy has maintained a Mediterranean presence through its Syrian base.
The Soviet Navy was its Cold War predecessor.
