The conspiracy crowd are reading far too much into this. The vessel in question is the Russian Navy Black Sea Fleet tanker Iman. I have been tracking this vessel since it left Sevastopol and headed for the Mediterranean. It sends Morse Code weather and sea state reports every six hours. If the vessel had such a mission to put troops into Syria then why would it be transmitting positional information every six hours? Even the Amur Class Repair ship PM-56 that was previously in Tartus, Syria had marines on board to protect it.

The following is the Morse Code weather transmission from the tanker Iman from 12 GMT today.

It has been transmitting its position and weather data ever since it left the Black Sea.
