The ship, an exact copy of the battleship of the Russian Imperial Navy of the Peter the Great era, stood in the center of St. Petersburg in the roadstead between the Palace and Troitsky bridges.
"The task of towing the sailing ship was carried out by the tugs of a detachment of support vessels of the Leningrad naval base," said the commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Nikolai Evmenov.
"The ship perfectly illustrates part of the history of the Russian fleet, which turns 325 this year," he stressed.
Let us remind you that this is a copy of the 54-gun battleship of the fourth rank, launched on June 15 (26), 1712 from the slipway of the St. Petersburg Admiralty and built with the direct participation of Peter the Great.
As reported by IA REGNUM , the Main Naval Parade will be held in St. Petersburg on July 25, the Day of the Russian Navy.

I'm suprised the Russian navy could spare the tugs. The sea going ones accompany the fleet on deployments. Seriously. (Can you imagine St Petersburg to Latakia Syria on a tugboat? They do.)

[REGNUM] A total of 39 foreign reconnaissance aircraft approached the borders of Russia during the week. This was reported on July 16 by the official publication of the Ministry of Defense"Krasnaya Zvezda".
Also during the week, ten foreign drones were recorded carrying out aerial reconnaissance along the Russian borders.
It is noted that all these objects were tracked by Russian radar stations. In order to prevent violation of the border, fighters from the air defense duty forces were sortied four times.
According to the Ministry of Defense, there were no violations of Russian airspace in any of the episodes.

The planned transportation of the 2nd army regiment General Yasukata Oku - from Hiroshima to Liaodong - demanded to use up to 80 transports.
