Since losing full access to the Tartus naval base in Syria and facing restrictions through the Bosporus due to the Montreux Convention,
Russia"s Mediterranean Squadron lacks a viable alternative facility, limiting its operational range.
Though Russian ships still visit Tartus, their access is limited and they are treated similarly to foreign vessels without permanent basing rights,relying on offshore anchoring and short stays.
Khmeimim Air Base still serves as a logistical stop, but recent drone attacks and local tensions have made Russia’s position there more precarious.
With traditional allies like Algeria and Libya unable or unwilling to host bases, and Egypt and Serbia offering limited or no support,
Russia’s naval presence in the Mediterranean is now significantly reduced due to geopolitical isolation driven by its invasion of Ukraine.
由於失去敘利亞塔爾圖斯海軍基地的全面使用權，以及根據《蒙特勒公約》被限制通過博斯普魯斯海峽，俄羅斯地中海艦隊目前缺乏有效的替代設施，導致其行動能力受限。
雖然俄羅斯船艦仍然造訪塔爾圖斯，但進入權限大幅縮水，僅與普通外國軍艦相同，無法長期停留，多數只能停泊於外海。
赫梅米姆空軍基地仍提供部分後勤支援，但近期無人機攻擊及地方敵對勢力使得俄羅斯在當地的地位不再穩固。
由於阿爾及利亞與利比亞無法或不願提供基地，加上埃及與塞爾維亞無法實質支持，俄羅斯因入侵烏克蘭導致的國際孤立，使其在地中海的軍事存在明顯萎縮。
