Warzone/The Drive: Six Russian Landing Ships That Left The Baltic Sea Have Entered The Mediterranean
The arrival of these warships comes ahead of major naval maneuvers and concerns that they could take part in operations against Ukraine.
The latest three examples from the six amphibious warfare ships that left the Baltic Sea earlier this month entered the Mediterranean Sea today, where the Russian Ministry of Defense has said they will take part in naval maneuvers.
However, with tensions surrounding Russia and Ukraine remaining high, there has been concern that the amphibious flotilla’s ultimate destination may be the Black Sea. From there they would be well-positioned to support a potential new Russian intervention in Ukraine. The three vessels from the Russian Navy’s Northern Fleet, the Project 775 Ropucha class amphibious warfare ships Olenegorskiy Gornyak and Georgiy Pobedonosets and the Project 11711 Ivan Gren class landing ship Pyotr Morgunov, were spotted entering the Mediterranean earlier today via the Strait of Gibraltar.

Should Russ attack Ukraine, it would be be a horrible thing if the Bosphorus Strait were bottled up with hundreds of anti ship mines, thus bottling up the Black Sea Fleet. Terrible thing

You are assuming the Turks would allow that to happen.
Although a NATO member, Turkey might stay neutral. They have before.
