Black Sea Fleet reconnaissance ship Ivan Khurs has arrived at its home base in Sevastopol after carrying out special missions in the Black Sea – ensuring the safety of the Turkish Stream and the Blue Stream gas pipelines.
The Ivan Khurs is a vessel capable of reconnaissance aimed at electronic warfare and coordination of other ships.
Previously, Russia's Ministry of Defense reported that the vessel was unsuccessfully attacked by Ukrainian unmanned boats – all three of them were destroyed by Russian Armed Forces. Despite the blatant sabotage attempt, Ivan Khurs continued to perform his duties.
