The launch of the "Vitse-Admiral Burilichev" (project 22011, 108 metres, 5,200 tonnes), a research vessel that is, however, subordinate to the Deep Sea Research Department (GUGI) of the Ministry of Defence, took place quietly and just before the Finnish border in Vyborg, far away from any journalistic curiosity. It is from there that anything approaching the communications infrastructure of Western states is guided in order to locate their connecting cables and map them so that they can be manipulated when the time comes. In terms of its design sketch, dimensions and equipment, the "Burilichev" is similar to the notorious "Yantar" (Project 22010). In recent years, under the guise of science and submarine rescue, the latter has increasingly been seen holding positions or carrying out small-scale search and survey patterns in the vicinity of sensitive facilities (submarine cables, strategic bases). Dual use - as it is called today.
