Royal Navy Sub Surfaces Near Russian Spy Ship: A Bold Message?
The Royal Navy shadowed the Russian spy ship Yantar, known for mapping critical underwater infrastructure, using submarines, warships, and aircraft. A British submarine surfaced near the Yantar to demonstrate its surveillance capabilities. This followed a November incident and a recent return to British waters, where the Yantar was closely escorted by the Royal Navy, highlighting heightened concerns about potential sabotage of undersea cables. The public release of this information serves as a deterrent against further Russian espionage targeting critical underwater infrastructure.
