French-built warship BPC Vladivostock, designed to strengthen Russia's ability to deploy troops, tanks and helicopter gunships, leaves the Saint Nazaire's harbor, western France, for its test run on the open sea off coast of France, Wednesday, March 5, 2014, just as Western powers are trying to rein in Russian President Vladimir Putin's military threat to Ukraine.
