Strange behavior has been recorded of the Russian ship Sparta.

This ship was intended to reach Port Said in Egypt and now its destination is unknown, in addition, its direction has changed. It is necessary to pay attention to the strange behaviors of Russian ships due to two recent incidents: the sinking of a Russian ship in the Mediterranean Sea and the capture of another Russian ship in the Gulf of Finland.

It is unclear whether the Sparta is still traveling in formation with two other Russian military ships, the Ivan Gren and Aleksandr Otrakovskiy. Both vessels appear to be heading to Syria to transport military equipment, possibly as part of Russia’s withdrawal from the region.

The Russian cargo ship Sparta continues its eastward journey. Currently, the vessel is located in the central Mediterranean, sailing north at approximately 6 knots after abruptly changing course, initially, she was heading southeast, seemingly towards the Libyan port of Benghazi.

The reason for this course change remains unknown, but naturally, it draws attention following the incident involving the second ship of the convoy, the Ursa Major.

Interestingly, the Sparta no longer lists Port Said as its destination, as it did earlier, now displaying the generic status “for orders.” This practice of indicating a false destination has been observed before with Russian ships later bound for Syria, which is likely the case here.
