On Nov 27, a Russian submarine, possibly of the Kilo-Class, departed from its Baltiysk base, escorted by the "Aleksandr Frolov." The two vessels were initially headed for Bornholm. On Nov 29, the submarine passed Rügen and, during the night, headed for the Kadet Trench and the Fehmarn Belt. On its way it was shadowed by the German Federal Police vessels "Bad Bramstedt" and "Bamberg," as well as patrol boats from the Danish Navy. The Danish Home Guard also participated in monitoring the Russian flotilla. The identity of the submarine was unclear. Since the submarines do not display any markings. It could be the "Krasnodar", the sister ship of the recently troubled "Novorossiysk." Both submarines arer belonging to the Black Sea Fleet, but were prevented from passing through the Bosphorus by Turkey due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
