Today, three or four Russian naval vessels will pass through Danish waters as they return from Saint Petersburg on their way to their respective naval bases.
All of the ships participated in the country’s Navy Day parade, which is held every year in Russia at the end of July.
As is customary every year, in order for the ships to return to their bases, they will under the Great Belt Bridge, which links the Danish islands of Zealand and Funen.
Danish Defence will be watching
Danish Defence will be following the Russian ships closely as they make their way through – either by helicopter, plane or ship.
The close monitoring is considered to be standard procedure.
The ships expected to pass through the strait are the submarine ‘Severodvinks’, class-landing ship ‘Ivan Gren’, rescue ship ‘Pamir’, and possibly the patrol vessel ‘Ladoga’.
