The British military found in the waters near Great Britain touch sensors that could be used by Russia to survive the country’s atomic submarines. This was written by The Sunday Times, whose journalists talked with former ministers of defense, high -ranking military personnel and experts of the sensors were discovered due to the fact that they were thrown ashore. The rest were found with the help of mines of the British fleet. The material of the newspaper says that the devices were found “in recent years.” According to the British Ministry of Defense, they were installed by Moscow to track the movements of the four British Vanguard submarines equipped with missiles with nuclear warheads. The two interlocutors of The Sunday Times claim that around 2020, Russian submarines were discovered near the “critical” underwater cables for the UK drones. There were no ships or submarines nearby, which suggests that drones overcome long distances to get to the cables. The British Ministry of Defense considered the drones tried to damage underwater communications, but today there is no evidence that it was possible to do this. Three The Sunday Times in the Ministry of Defense argue that even before the full -scale invasion of Russian troops, London had intelligence that the super -sites of Russian billionaires were probably used for reconnaissance off the coasts of Great Britain. The publication provides one of such cases. In 2018, the British landing ship HMS Albion forced to leave the port in Limassol after, a huge yacht belonging to the “Russian oligarch” (the name is not specified – approx. Medusa). The crew of the ship decided to leave the port, suspecting the yacht in a hidden observation. The reserved military in a conversation with journalists compared a technological confrontation under water with a space race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. In January 2025, the Minister of Defense of Great Britain John Hili said that the Russian Oceanographic ship “Amber” went to British Territorial waters. He was accompanied by two ships of the British Navy. In a statement by the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain, Yantar was called the “spy ship.” Heil noted that this is the second case in recent months, when the amber entered the British territorial waters. Russia insists that the amber has exclusively research equipment of a peaceful nature. At the same time, back in 2015, the US Navy said that the launched devices on board the amber are able to cut, for example, Internet cables. (Tagstotranslate) News
