The flagship is, yes, just for show. But I'm sure the Russians have a system of automated chain guns as a defence against incoming missiles, just like the Americans do. Necessary if anyone in Islamic Jihad of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine decides that the fleet or Jewish evacuees make for a good target.
The patrol boat in the task force keeps small Gazan surface craft and nosey international media launches away from the heavy landing craft, the Muskova is for overall force protection, presence and the vehicle for the force commander.
And the Russians have sent a navy sea tug as part of the task force, for when the Muskova breaks down.
Allow me to quote myself...Jewish evacuees. What other target would you suggest of Islamic Jihad.
