This also comes after the Royal Navy’s HMS Mersey, shadowed a huge Russian vessel, Akademik Pashin, which passed close the UK’s south coast.
While the vessel carried on its journey through the Dover Strait and down the Channel towards the open waters of the North Atlantic, it came after two other Russian submarines were tracked by the UK’s Armed Forces.
This also comes General Sir Patrick Sanders, chief of the general staff fo the British Army, warned that British troops must be prepared to “fight and win” to stop the spread of war in Europe.
He said at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) conference in London: “We don’t know how the war in Ukraine will end but in most scenarios Russia will be an even greater threat to European security after Ukraine than it was before.
“The Russian invasion has reminded us of that time-honoured maxim that if you want to avert conflict you had better be prepared to fight.”
