USNI News: Iran’s Largest Warship, Frigate Now in the Baltic Sea Bound for Russia
Iran’s largest warship is now in the Baltic Sea – a first for the Iranian Navy – according to photos from ship spotters provided to USNI News.
Oil-tanker-turned-warship IRINS Makran transited the Great Belt early Thursday morning entering the Baltic Sea under escort by Royal Danish Navy patrol vessels.
Makran passed under the Great Belt Bridge just outside the entrance to the Baltic Sea at 6:53 a.m. local time – 2:53 a.m. EDT, according to a Thursday tweet from TankerTrackers.com.
The warship was being escorted by patrol ship HDMS Diana (P250), according to AIS data from MarineTraffic.com.
Photos provided to USNI News from ship spotter @shipoholic show that Makran still has Fast Attack Craft strapped to the deck as originally reported by USNI News in June.
