Vice-Admiral Kulakov

Vice-Admiral Kulakov is a Udaloi-class destroyer of the Russian Navy that gained attention for its close surveillance of the German frigate Bayern during NATO exercises in the North Atlantic. The Kulakov was involved in military maneuvers near the Kola Peninsula before it altered course to follow the Bayern, leading to a tense maritime situation as both vessels approached Danish waters, prompting the Danish Navy to dispatch its frigate Iver Huitfeldt to monitor the Russian destroyer.
