UK's HMS Iron Duke Shadows Russian Sub
The Plymouth-based frigate HMS Iron Duke monitored a surfaced Russian Kilo-class submarine, Novorossiysk, and its support tug, Yakov Grebelsky, near the French coast.
Over 72 hours, from October 7 to 9, HMS Iron Duke and its Wildcat helicopter closely tracked the Russian vessels as they transited through the Channel and into the North Sea.
“Russian vessels have been passing through the English Channel more frequently and our Royal Navy is on the job 24/7, keeping a close eye on their movements to make sure our waters and undersea cables stay safe” - Al Carns, Minister for the Armed Forces
The operation is part of the government’s ongoing commitment to safeguard UK waters and national security.
