The Russian ship made London nervous as it approached British territorial waters.

The Russian ship Admiral Vladimirsky, not even a warship, made the UK nervous after the ship approached UK territorial waters. The reason for this was that the Russian ship is designed to carry out oceanographic work at great depths, and given that thousands of kilometers of communication cables lie near the coast of Great Britain, this, according to London, is a danger.

According to the British military, the Russian oceanographic vessel can pose a fairly serious threat, as it is capable of conducting reconnaissance and performing various kinds of specialized underwater work. Against the background of the approach of the Russian ship to the coast of Great Britain at a distance of 25 nautical miles, British military aircraft were raised into the sky, carrying out continuous monitoring of the actions of the Russian ship.

“As a scientific vessel capable of conducting covert underwater reconnaissance, the Admiral Vladimirsky is of interest to Western navies who want to learn more about Russia’s secret activities in collecting underwater intelligence information, so it is not surprising that the Admiral Vladimirsky vessel was closely monitored Royal Navy during his stay at the Firth", British resources report.

At the moment, the location of the Russian oceanographic vessel "Admiral Vladimirsky" remains unknown.
