A Royal Navy attack submarine surfaced close to a Russian โspy shipโ off the UK coast in an extraordinary warning to stop spying on British undersea cables, the defence secretary has revealed.
Defence, security and military analyst Colonel Simon Diggins explains in more detail why this could potentially make the UK vulnerable.

Just like a bear lingering near a camp in the woods while acting uninterested in the humans when in reality its very much interested in them and wants to hunt them.
we had nothing else available??????? ๐
Why was the ship Allowed to enter the Irish Sea?? There is only britain and Ireland up there which Russia has no business being near neither
45 miles out. It was not in our waters: it was in International Waters.
The UK is an island-nation, its crazy that it has been allowed to happen that the UK has not got enough arms across its forces to defend the country, yet we still find the resources to send forces off to defend other nations or on peace keeping missions! Its past time that we put much much more money into the armed forces, if any real and ongoing attacks ever happen, it will take years to build up enough weapons and if the rest of the world is also is trying to do the same if there are conflicts else where then no one will want to sell us the arms we need or maybe even the raw materials we need to create our own?!
Short of sinking the supposed 'spy ship ' what exactly did Labour imagine this submarine could do . Perhaps they just waved to eachother ? It is neither equipped or capable of surface patrol operations , where it would be both very visible, relatively slow and rather vulnerable , It however very probably provided some logistics info to the Russians by surfacing near to .
โHA HA HA, we can build a death trap toOโ ๐ธ
It done its job, mapped our cables and will be sabotaged within the year I garrentie.
The Russian vessel got out of there as fast as it could incase the Royal Navy vessel sank and they got the blame.
Ahahah the next fiction about a spy ship. England opens the box of Pandora. English ships will be in the same position at other points of the globe.
If the Russian ship is in International waters the British navy did nothing but take a few photos! Just more propaganda to distract from gromming gangs.
HMS Prince of Wales a hunk junk !
How did they know it was a spy ship

That is freedom of navigation, the British always sail in the Baltic sea on freedom navigation,
Fine, had our vile governments from 1997 on not cut ALL our forces. Most vitally for the 'Island Nation', the Royal Navy and RAF. Which are innately the most highly 'platform based' and have seen procurement AND full equipping/system installation and continuing update of state of the art weapons systems ALL CRIMINALLY NEGLECTED. The Quisling EUro-globalist not-real-Tories of Cameron etc, badly hollowed out our fleet and combat air power. 'Comrade' Starmer's pestilential Woke Cult Metro-vermin've already scrapped 3 more vital major units! Accelerated restoration is essential.
Canโt even defend our own land that is the biggest joke today just think about that for a second
Let the UK lead NATO
There are far worse rubber boats much closer and landing on our shores.
Rather protect the south coast from hundreds of invading boats…
If its Russia then why is China being blamed?
These criminal news anchors keep lying to the public and so many fools believe them. Just look at the comments. Seriously
Russia are clearly planning an invasion of the uk
As if UK is not intruding in others' waters.
Russian ship looking for the sausages ๐๐๐๐

He's right. We can't defend ourselves. We need a massive uptake in UK defence spending.
Pity the royal navy can't monitor the English channel and warn off any illegal immigrants trying to illegally enter our country. The Liebour government have plenty of money for Ukraine but none for the elderly to stop them dying in winter. The elderly who have paid taxes for decades. The elderly who are lying in hospital corridors on a gurney as their is no beds for them. I am more worried about our Liebour government than the Russian one.
It was 76 miles from the UK coast, so still in international waters. The UK economic zone is not territorial waters, which are within 12 miles from the coast. Same as when the US Navy sails 15 miles from the Chinese coast: still in international waters…. but that's ok for the US to do that, but not the Russians.
So itโs not actually in British waters then? Just NEAR British waters? I donโt see the problem then! So this is just a distraction by sly news!
Who gives fk
Russia has navy?
A spy SHIP ๐
