Is Russia circumventing the oil embargo?

Die der Baltischen Flotte zugehörige russische Korvette RFS „Stoikiy“ (Steregushchiy-Klasse, Project 20380) hatte die beiden regelmäßig im sogenannten „Syrien-Express“ eingesetzten russischen Produktentanker RFS „Yaz“ (6.600 Tonnen) und RFS „General Skobelev“ (13.000 Tonnen) erneut bei ihrer Rückkehr aus dem Mittelmeer begleitet. Die beiden Tanker haben AIS-Daten zu Folge am 27.08.2024 westlaufend Malta passiert und am 31.08.2024 das Mittelmeer bei Gibraltar verlassen. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass ein Rendezvous zwischen der eskortierenden Korvette „Stoikiy“ (545, 2200 Tonnen) und den beiden Handelsschiffen im Atlantik noch vor dem Ärmelkanal stattgefunden hat. Nachdem die dänischen Meerengen bereits am 10.09.2024 durchfahren wurden, haben die Tanker...

His time as commander was characterised by Russia's attack on Ukraine and the coronavirus pandemic, among other things. His successor is Captain...

Russia - Submarine relocated from the Baltic Sea back to the Mediterranean

Nach einem mehr als einjährigen Verbleib in der Mittelmeer-Einsatzgruppe der russischen Marine hatte das russische U-Boot 555 „Novorossiysk“ (Projekt 636.3 - Improved KILO-Class, Schwarzmeer-Flotte) Mitte September 2022 Tartus in Syrien Richtung Ostsee verlassen. Ziel der "Novorossiysk" mit ihrer bis zu 60 Mann starken Besatzung war der Marinestützpunkt Kronstad bei Sankt Petersburg, der im Oktober 2022 für eine Werftliegezeit erreicht wurde. Nach knapp zwei Jahren erfolgter Instandsetzungs- und Modernisierungsmaßnahmen hat sich das 74 Meter lange und getaucht über 3.000 Tonnen verdrängende konventionelle U-Boot in Begleitung des Hochsee-/Rettungsschleppers SB 921 „Evgeniy Churov“ (Sliva-Klasse, Projekt 712, Baltische Flotte) wieder auf den Weg...
