The Finns were alarmed by the tests of the reconnaissance vessel "Ivan Hurs"
However, Petteri Lalu, a professor at the National University of Defense of Finland, believes that "Ivan Khurs" is intended primarily to collect data on the exchange of information between the armed forces of other countries, as well as to learn the characteristics of radio-electronic equipment. However, he does not exclude that Russian designers are developing a system to create interference with rockets.
He is also confident that the reconnaissance ship will not interfere with the testing in the Baltic Sea.
Recall, the reconnaissance ship of the 18280 project "Ivan Khurs" is the first serial ship in the series. The communications vessel was laid in 2013 and launched in May 2017.
The ship’s displacement is about four thousand tons. The length is about one hundred meters. Cruise range over 8 000 nautical miles at speed in 16 knots. The crew of the sea reconnaissance is 131 people, reports "RG-Force"
