🧵The Ursa Major was heading to Vladivostok and not en route to aid in the evacuation of Tartus.
Given cargo it carried, this is in fact even worse for Russia than if it had been heading to Tartus.

The Ursa was carrying two Liebherr 420 mobile cranes for the harbor in Vladivostok that is heavily backed up due to a lack of cranes and two 45-ton hatches for the construction of the new Project 10510 nuclear powered icebreaker.

In this image you can see both of the the cranes, as well as grab buckets for bulk handling at the harbor in Vladivostok at the front of the vessel.
The loss of these cranes will severely hurt loading/unloading times in Vladivostok.

In the same image you can see the two 45-ton hatches at the rear of the vessel covered in a blue tarp.
These are the two hatches designed to cover the nuclear reactor on the Project 10510. They can be seen directly in front of the smokestack on the mode.
The loss of these two hatches will delay construction of the Project 10510 significantly.
