Danish television has published a video taken by the installer Mads Christensen from the bridge over the Great Belt Strait at the moment when the nuclear submarine of the Northern Fleet "Eagle" was passing under it.

- I have been working on the Big Belt for a long time and I have met different vessels: large container ships and so on. I have also seen submarines. But never such huge ones, " Christensen admitted to TV2. He took a picture of the ship on his phone, and then went to the marine traffic monitoring site and was amazed to find no traces of the submarine there.

On Tuesday, the "Eagle" was seen off its shores by residents of the province of West Zealand.

- It is becoming a tradition that at the beginning of July, Russian Navy ships pass through Danish territorial waters to get to the naval parade. As long as they remain within the framework of the International Maritime Convention, they have the right to be here, " explained the head of the Danish Maritime Command, Per Ring Henriksen.

According to the convention, submarines must move in foreign waters without stopping on the surface.

The Eagle submarine is a submarine missile cruiser of the project 949A "Antey", designed to combat enemy aircraft carrier groups. The 154-meter submarine with a displacement of 24 thousand tons is armed with 24 Granit cruise missiles, can lie on the bottom and break through the Arctic ice. For the rounded shapes, Russian submariners called the Antey-type boats "loaves".
