A German journalist filmed the superyacht Graceful (Kosatka), which is associated with Russian President Vladimir Putin, at the very moment it entered Danish waters.
This is reported by the Danish publication DR.
According to international media, the superyacht Graceful belongs personally to Putin.
It is known that the yacht is being accompanied by a Russian military destroyer, as well as a Russian maritime rescue and patrol ship.
According to journalists, the length of the yacht exceeds 80 meters, and the width is about 20 meters.
Additionally, in the DR photo, you can see that Graceful is equipped with a net installed on all decks.
According to Anders Pak Nielsen, a Navy captain and military analyst at the Danish Defense Academy, it is similar to an anti-drone net designed to protect against drones.
“And that’s quite interesting. Maybe it suggests that they see some kind of threat here,” comments Anders Pak Nielsen.
At the same time, he adds that installing the net may be related to ensuring the safety of the yacht and its crew.
The superyacht and two other Russian ships are usually docked or cruising the Baltic Sea, but they have now been spotted in other locations.
The expert emphasized that the change in the location of the yacht may be related to a series of attacks by Ukrainian UAVs, in particular on St. Petersburg.
“It is natural to think that they would like to take the ships further away, because there is no doubt that ships are at risk when they are in the Baltic Sea, and especially when they are in port,” the expert notes.
“The Ukrainians have attacked at least two ships — possibly three — in Baltic Sea ports in recent months, so this is exactly what they are after,” Anders Pack Nielsen concluded.
At the same time, he emphasized that the change in the location of the yacht may not be related to the Ukrainian attacks, but rather be a normal activity.
It was previously reported that the superyacht Graceful (Kosatka) was spotted off the coast of Denmark , accompanied by Russian warships.
