A Greek navy frigate towed a Russian military ship to safety after the vessel sent out a distress signal in the Aegean sea on Monday, Greece’s Merchant Marine Ministry said.


‘The towing process has started with the Greek navy frigate, and the ship will be towed to the port of Agios Kirikos on the island of Ikaria,’ a ministry official told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

He said the ship’s 88 crew were in a good condition and two Super Puma helicopters and a C-130 transport plane were in the area monitoring the situation.

The Russian navy repair ship had sent out a mayday signal after engines failed in strong winds off the eastern Aegean island of Ikaria in international waters.

Oh this is kind of embarrassing for the Russian Navy. Glad to see the Greeks save them and that the Russian sailors are OK after plenty of Vodka I'm sure.
