Images of the Putin spy vessel 'Yantar', which is conducting operations near the Ugarit undersea cables from Syria

The Putin spy vessel Yantar is currently conducting lengthy operations near the Ugarit undersea cables between Syria and Cyprus ---------------------------- The Putin spies have been operational in this area for a week now ---------------------------- The Yantar has made a series of extremely slow parallel runs on approximately a NNE-SSW line. These runs are usually at less than 1kt which is far slower than would be required for towed sonar. Additionally they are usually preceded by lengthy pauses suggesting a comparatively large vehicle being put into the water. And the ship often remains stationary for very long periods suggesting maintenance, or that the hosted craft (mini-sub or ROV) is active on the sea floor in a single position. Or is rising or sinking very slowly. Yantar passed south through the Bosporous on Oct 3rd, with a declared destination of Oman. But it is has stayed off Syria since then
