Why send a typhoon SSBN to Syria??!!

I read the news report linked on the news page of subsim about Russia sending the Dmitiry Donskoy, Russia's last operating typhoon class refitted with Baluva SLBNs. Does anyone know if this is a mess-up? Russia has a lot of platforms that they could send to Syria including the ships operating in the med or the Black Sea fleet. An SSBN would be the most useless thing you could send to Syria plus your bottle necking the thing in the relatively shallow waters of the med, where it would be open to attack by the diesel boats of a dozen unstable countries.

It doesn't make sense to me, anybody got any ideas?
