Eerie Wreck Dive: The Russian Wreck was discovered quite recently, in 2003, largely due to its position in the very southern Red Sea, near Zabargad Island. Originally thought to be the Khanka, a trawler that supposedly went down in the area, most now believe it’s a Russian electronic intelligence ship — essentially a spy ship — dating from the Cold War. There’s limited information as to its role in the Red Sea, or what it was doing in Zabargad Island. It is known that the Russians operated in the Red Sea, out of Eritrea, but very few details are available. Likewise, it is not known why or how it sank, although there is evidence of an explosion in its hull. This is Cold War mystery is still waiting to be solved. https://youtube/watch?v=XIYjj4GgbUk#t=61
