During the visit, a meeting of the command of the Iranian Navy detachment with the command of the flotilla, the leadership of the Astrakhan region and the city of Astrakhan is planned. The crews of foreign ships will take a walk on historical places of Astrakhan, get acquainted with the history of the Caspian flotilla and the city, visit Russian ships. Between Russian and Iranian sailors, sports and boat races will be held.
Russian ships of the Caspian Flotilla made an extreme visit to Iran (Enzeli port) in 2007 year.
Initially, it was reported that two of the three ships of the Iranian guests would arrive in Astrakhan - the P224 Peykan and the P225 Dzhushan, which are missile boats according to the Russian classification. The destroyer "Damavand" will remain in the roadstead at sea - near the entrance to the Volga-Caspian Canal, since this ship has a large draft. Then the plans changed.
TV channel LifeNews publishes on YouTube a video of the arrival of Iranian ships in Astrakhan - to the central Astrakhan embankment.
