Urusi ambayo ni mshirika mkubwa wa Syria, imetuma meli zake za kivita katika bahari ya Mediteranian karibu kabisa na Syria, ambapo meli za kivita za marekani zilishaanza maandalizi ya kuwa tayari kuishambulia Syria wakati wowote. Meli za kivita za Urusi ambazo zimeelekezwa kusogea karibu na Syria ni "Moskava" hii ni meli inayorusha makombora ya roket, Varyag, na nyingine aina ya nyambizi. Hata hivyo Urusi imekanusha habari kuwa meli hizo ni kwaajili ya kumsaidia Assad endapo atashambuliwa na Marekani na washirika wake. Shirika la habari la Urusi RIA ambalo linasimamiwa na serikali limetoa taarifa kuwa, kupelekwa kwa meli hizo za kivita katika Pwani ya Syria sio kutokana na mzooz unaoendelea sasa Syria bali ni moja ya safari zake za Transatlantic.
Wakati huo huo, Uingereza imetuma ndege zake za kivita aina ya Typhoon huko Cyprus kwa ajili ya mahsambulio na ulinzi wakati wowote
Hii ni meli ya kivita ya Marekani ikifanya mazoezi namna itakavyomlipua Assad pindi vita itakavyoanza

Russia will "over the next few days" be sending an
anti-submarine ship and a missile cruiser to the Mediterranean as the
West prepares for possible strikes against Syria, the Interfax news
agency said on Thursday.
"The well-known situation shaping
up in the eastern Mediterranean called for certain corrections to the
make-up of the naval forces," a source in the Russian General Staff told
Interfax.
"A large anti-submarine ship of the Northern Fleet will join them (the existing naval forces) over the next few days.
"Later it will be joined by the Moskva, a rocket cruiser of the Black
Sea Fleet which is now wrapping up its tasks in the northern Atlantic
and will soon begin a Transatlantic voyage towards the Strait of
Gibraltar."
In addition, a rocket cruiser of the Pacific Fleet, the Varyag, will
join the Russian naval forces in the Mediterranean this autumn by
replacing a large anti-submarine ship.
However, the state-run RIA Novosti news agency cited a high-ranking
representative of the naval command who said the changes to the
country's forces in the region were not linked to the current tensions
over Syria and called them "a planned rotation."
