Russian fleet movements in the Baltic Sea

The Steregushiy-class corvettes RFS "Stoykiy" (545) and RFS "Soobrazitelny" (531), as well as the seagoing tug RFS Viktor "Konetskiy" returned to Baltiysk from the Skagerrak on 15 April 2022.

Observers assume routine manoeuvre activity in the North Sea and Atlantic. On 16 April 2022, the large landing ship RFS "Ivan Gren" (010) of the Russian Northern Fleet then moved through the Kattegat and Great Belt into the Baltic Sea, where it entered Baltiysk on 18 April 2022.

Whether the background to the transfer of the landing ship is a stay at the Yantar shipyard or the loading or unloading of weapons and equipment is speculation. Another possible reason could be to replenish the Baltic Fleet's landing ship capacities, as there are currently three Ropucha-class LSTs of the Baltic Fleet in the Black Sea.

What has been routinely observed in recent years is now attracting attention. It remains exciting.
