A Russian anti-submarine warship has made dangerous mobility movements against the German Bavaria sufferers and chased the ship into the Baltic Sea, according to German media.
Russian destroyers began chasing German destroyers in the northern Atlantic.
German press said that the Bavaria ship is participating in a drill here with the German U33 tank of infantry and other NATO units.
Meanwhile, from the Kolafjord area, the Severomorsk and Deputy Admiral Kulakov destroyers of Russia conducted an anti-submarine exercise.
After the exercise, the Vice Admiral Kulakov ship returned and headed towards the Bavaria yard, following the German ship. The chase took place along the Norwegian coast, towards the south.
Bavaria's crew was notified of the movement of the destroyer. From Skagen (a city in Denmark, in the northern tip of Jutland, at the Grenen nose), the Denmark Iver Huitfeldt's ships approached the Russian ship and followed the Vice Admiral of Kulakov to the Great Belt Strait.
The German federal government has expressed concern about the moves by Russian shipwreck vessels.
According to Christoph Ploss - Maritime Coordinator of the German Federal Government - this incident shows the need to protect German ports from increasing threats, including protecting infrastructure, increasing investment in cybersecurity and upgrading bridges for tanks.
The Russian Vice Admiral Kulakov ( Udaloy class) ship area is equipped with missiles, torpedoes and carrying air defense systems on board. The 163 m long ship was launched in 1981, underwent major repairs over the years and has been under the Russian Navy's Northern fleet since 2010.
The news of the incident took place in the context of recent reports that Russia has begun providing military escorts to oil tankers of the shadow fleet in the Gulf of Finland. Finnish Defense Minister Antti Hakkanen called it an unprecedented development.
The Estonian Navy recently reported an incident involving the Jaguar oil tanker in the Baltic Sea. The ship ignored the stop order, the crew refused to cooperate and did not change course in international waters.
Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna added that Russia had dispatched a fighter as tallinn was trying to intercept the Jaguar tanker in the Baltic Sea.
