Britain and Norway scared off Russian submarines
Published 12.48
UK and Norway have carried out a military operation to deter Russian submarines suspected of “hostile activity” in the North Atlantic.
A frigate, aircraft and hundreds of people took part in the operation to monitor a Russian attack submarine and two spy submarines near underwater infrastructure in the North Atlantic.
The aim was to send a message to Russia, says British Defence Secretary John Healey during a press conference:
– We see your activity over our cables and pipelines, and you should know that any attempt to damage them will not be tolerated and will have serious consequences.
After a month of monitoring, the Russian submarines left the area.
