On Sunday, the Russian military tug SB-123 sailed through Danish waters – closely guarded by the Danish Navy’s patrol vessel P523 Najaden, which followed the Russian ship’s movements under the cover of evening and night. <\/p>\n\n

This is according to AIS position data reviewed by Danwatch.<\/p>\n\n

For more than seven hours, the Russian SB-123 sailed in the waters off Grenaa before heading towards the Great Belt, where the Danish P523 Najaden again followed.<\/p>\n\n

But another Russian ship appeared on the Great Belt Bridge’s surveillance cameras when SB-123 and P523 Naiad sailed under the bridge at noon on Monday. The rarely seen Russian spy ship Chusovoy, which belongs to Putin’s Northern Fleet and is allegedly specialised<\/a> in intercepting signals from Western submarines. <\/p>\n\n
