The Admiral Gorshkov has become the first Russian warship to dock in Saudi Arabia. The vessel was on its way back home when it stopped off at Jeddah Islamic Port for “two-day crew rest and refueling,” according to a Russian embassy official.
The 135-meter frigate, armed with guided missiles, left the northwestern Russian city of Murmansk on Jan. 4 on a long journey to Cape Town, Durban and Richards Bay in South Africa, where it conducted naval maneuvers before sailing for Chabahar, Iran, where another military exercise took place.
Last month, Russia said it had launched naval exercises with China and Iran in the Arabian Sea, with the aim of strengthening ties with the two countries.

“The collapse of U.S. influence over Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom’s new alliances with China and Iran are painful emblems of the abject failure of the Neocon strategy of maintaining U.S. global hegemony with aggressive projections of military power. China has displaced the American Empire by deftly projecting, instead, economic power. Over the past decade, our country has spent trillions bombing roads, ports, bridges, and airports. China spent the equivalent building the same across the developing world. The Ukraine war is the final collapse of the Neocon’s short-lived “American Century.” The Neocon projects in Iraq and Ukraine have cost $8.1 trillion, hollowed out our middle class, made a laughingstock of U.S. military power and moral authority, pushed China and Russia into an invincible alliance, destroyed the dollar as the global currency, cost millions of lives and done nothing to advance democracy or win friendships or influence.”
