German Navy ship monitored troubled Russian submarine Novorossiysk off Heligoland
On Oct 13, 2025, the 'Oste' monitoreed the Russian submarine 'Novorossyisk-B 261' west of Heligoland, taking over from the HNLMS 'Luymes', which had escorted the boat on its way across the North Sea enroute to Russia. The Russian tug 'Yakov Grebelskiy' of the Goryn class was also monitored. The submarine was sailing off the Dutch coast on Oct 9 . The 'Novorossiysk', which belongs to the 4th Separate submarine Brigade of the Black Sea Fleet, had run into serious technical problems on Sep 26, while on a mission off Gibraltar, in the Mediterranean. It was allegedly at risk of exploding and later surfaced. Due to a technical failure, fuel had been leaking into the bilge. The shortage forced the crew into the precarious decision of pumping the leaking fuel directly into the sea. The boat had neither the spare parts nor the qualified specialists onboard to fix the malfunction. A French Navy frigate had conductied surveillance of the Russian submarine while it off the coast of Brittany on Oct 9. The Russian Black Sea fleet claimed that the 'Novorossiysk' was simply on a planned voyage and sailing on the surface because that would be he rule in the busy Channel. The NATO claimed this was completely untrue. The 'Novorossiysk was limping to its home base and ikely diesel fuel had leaked into the lower compartments after a critical system failure. The boat was then followed en route by navies including the Spanish, American, French, Belgian, British, and, in recent days, the Dutch navy. On Oct 13 it entered the Skagerrak, afte rthe German surveillance ship 'Oste' monitoreed the submarine west of Heligoland. With the withdrawal of the 'Novorossiysk', Russia no longer has a single submarine in the Mediterranean. At the end of 2024, Russia still had an entire naval fleet there. Due to poor maintenance, logistical overload, and a susceptibility to accidents, this has quickly deteriorated, Reports with photos: https://www.kn-online.de/schleswig-holstein/russisches-u-boot-novorossiysk-erreicht-ostsee-nato-beobachtet-XQTEO6AVV5FIZHVOPZKQFPXFKM.html https://www.schuttevaer.nl/nieuws/actueel/2025/10/11/marineschip-en-een-helikopter-hielden-kapotte-russische-onderzeeboot-in-de-gaten/ https://www.schuttevaer.nl/nieuws/actueel/2025/10/14/navo-russische-onderzeeboot-heeft-kritiek-systeemdefect/ https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/nato-tracks-surfaced-russian-submarine-off-france/ https://www.gbc.gi/news/russian-submarine-reportedly-near-the-strait-at-risk-of-explosion https://x.com/NATO_MARCOM/status/1976325370908426672
Surveillance ship sent to observe sudden Russian manoever
On July 22, 2025, the 'Oste' left the Naval Base in Eckernförde to observe the Russian manoever "July Storm", a surprise event, during which over 150 Russian Navy units were forced to depart. The press service of the Russian Defense Ministry announced that the "July Storm" exercise was intended to "test the readiness of the fleet and flotilla forces to solve non-standard operational tasks, the comprehensive use of long-range precision weapons, unmanned systems, advanced and modern weapons, and military equipment." Images of a new type of underwater drone attacking a target ship off Kaliningrad with an explosive charge and missile launches from ships in the Baltic Sea were also shown. The "Oste" also appearedin the Russian television report.The destroyer "Vice-Admiral Kulakov" also had to leave Baltiysk for the Skagerrak. The ship transited the Great Belt and the Fehmarn Belt on July 29 for the fifth time since May. One reason could be the canceled naval show on July 27 in St. Petersburg, which was terminated at short notice due to fears of Ukrainian drones. Instead, tthere was only a short film clip from an anonymous barracks yard in St. Petersburg, where Putin welcomed a delegation of marines. The reason for the voyage of the destroyer may be a new strategy of the Russian Navy. At the end of May, the Russian Navy brought the ship from the Northern Fleet to the Baltic Sea. After the last destroyer of the Baltic Fleet was out of action with an engine failure, the Russian Naval Command sent the "Vice-Admiral Kulakov" from its base in the Kolafjord to the Baltic Sea, whiere it has been regularly patrolling the Danish and German coasts since in order to demonstrate that, despite the problems within the country, the Navy is capable of conducting such patrols, according to Sebastian Bruns, an expert in Maritime Strategy and Security at the Institute for Security Policy at Kiel University.
