But the CSG it’s not alone since its passage through the Strait of Gibraltar the ship is followed by a unit of the Russian Navy, the “Spasatel Demidov” (MPSV07 class ) which officially has SAR duties and is heading towards the Black Sea.

The vessel The vessels, an icebreajker, has a sea endurance of 20 days and is equipped with machinery to investigate the sea bed and damaged objects lying in depths of up to 1,000m. MPSV07 class can also perform underwater diving operations to depths as low as 300m.
