TALLINN, Estonia, Nov. 22 (UPI) — Estonian officials said that if Russia buys a French amphibious assault ship, Estonia should consider taking security measures.

The Mistral-class helicopter carrier ship, for which the French are asking between $600 to $700 million, is scheduled to arrive Monday in St. Petersburg for the Russian navy and defense industry experts to inspect, RIA Novosti reported Sunday.
