Patrol boats monitoring Russian Navy
The reconnaissance vessel "Oste" left the naval base in Eckernförde on May 26, 2026, at 5 p.m. and sailed through the Fehmarn Belt at 9 p.m. heading towards Russian naval units in order to gather data. The crew had deactivated the AIS. Russia has been stationing naval vessels in the sea area between Fehmarn and Rostock at the entrance to the Lübeck Bay for weeks, among them the large destroyer "Severomorsk." Currently, a reconnaissance vessel equipped with eavesdropping technology was located off Fehmarn, operating in international waters. The German Federal Police deployed the "Bamberg" and the "Bad Bramstedt" to monitor the Russian naval units. The Danish Navy has several vessels operating between Gedser and the Fehmarn Belt.
Patrol ship monitoring Russian landing craft off Fehmarn
On Oct 19, the 'Bamberg' along with a Danish patrol boat was deployed to monitor the Russian landing craft "Aleksandr Shabalin", which dropped east of Fehmarn island in close proximity to Staberhuk lighthouse. Since the drone incidents in August and September, the landing craft has been under increased surveillance. When drones were spotted in Danish airspace over airfields, the "Aleksandr Shabalin" was nearvy. However, there is no concrete evidence so far. This is also the reason why the Russian ship is being closely monitored. In September, the landing craft also temporarily anchored west of Fehmarn at the intersection of the Kiel-Baltic Sea Route and the Great Belt southeast of Langeland. It is allowed to be there because it is outside German territorial waters. The German Navy had deployed the tender "Werra" from Kiel for observation. In addition to the "Aleksandr Shabalin," the Russian destroyer "Vice-Admiral Kulakov" has also been keeping the Federal Police and Navy busy for weeks. The destroyer arrived in the Baltic Sea in May from the Northern Fleet in Murmansk to reinforce the Baltic Fleet. Since then, it has appeared off Fehmarn eight times. The destroyer alternated with the landing ship and a reconnaissance vessel. The question as to the reason for this presence suggests a pattern that also has to do with the shadow fleet tankers and Russian military transports. The Russian Navy is using naval units in the Baltic Sea to target certain sea areas and position them there, according to Johannes Peters, head of the Maritime Strategy and Security Department at the Institute for Security Policy at the Kiel University. The proximity to the sea routes is no coincidence. The presence of Russian units near Fehmarn also has an impact on fishing and research. The Kiel based research vessels "Alkor" and "Littorina" had to maintain a considerable distance from the Russian units during their current voyages.

Patrol boat monitoring troubled Russian submarine
On Oct 14, units of the Danish Home Force along with the German patrol boats' Bamberg' and 'Rhön 2' (MMSI: 211179240) were deployed to monitor the troubled Russian submarine ' Novorossiysk', which was limping through the Great Belt probably towards St. Petersburg, escorted by the salvage tug "Yakov Grebelskiy' at an extremely slowly speed of six to eight knots, repeatedly emitting large smoke clouds. The Danish Navy has deployed the patrol boats "Diana-P 520" (MMSI: 220434000) and "Najaden P 523" (MMSI: 220434000) for surveillance. The "Yakov Grebelskiy"s crew also positioned weapons ready for use on the bow of the ship during the passage through the Great Belt. The Russian Navy claimed that the submarine had no serious problems. The reports of technical problems on board the boat first appeared on Russian Telegram channels. The Telegram channel VChK-OGPU reported that fuel had leaked into the boat's hull. There was talk of a risk of explosion.
