Supreme Allied Commander Europe: Russia creating A2/AD bubble in Syria

Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Gen. Philip M. Breedlove, said recent Russian activities in Syria has lead to “another A2/AD bubble being created in the eastern Mediterranean.”

The other zone in the Mediterranean is centered around Russian-occupied Crimea.
“Russia has developed a very strong A2/AD capability in the Black Sea,” said Breedlove. “Essentially their [anti-ship] cruise missiles range the entire Black Sea, and their air defense missiles range about 40 to 50 percent of the Black Sea.”
