A Russian soldier was spotted atop the Caesar Kunikov landing ship with a shoulder fired missile -manpad – today while crossing the Bosphorus.
The Bosphorus is a natural straight and international waterway between Europe and Asia in Turkey.
This comes after Turkey shot down a Russian jet two weeks ago near the border with Syria.
The Russian sailor reportedly stood on deck with the manpad for 40 minutes while the ship cross the Bosphurus.

He stood on deck for 40 minutes.
Apparently this soldier spent the whole pass like that. I got one shot aimed at me, too. #FLOT #SyrianExpress pic.twitter.com/7QcJmy2433
