The Russian vessel Yantar entered the area where critical energy communications and undersea data cables pass between Ireland and the UK.
The Irish Navy has removed a Russian “reconnaissance ship” from the country’s exclusive economic zone in the Irish Sea. Amber. This was reported by the Irish Examiner on Saturday 16 November.
The so-called research vessel entered the area where critical energy communications and undersea data cables pass between Ireland and the UK – east of Dublin and south-west of the Isle of Man.
Irish sailors followed the Russian ship on the night of November 15. At around 3 a.m., the Russian ship was joined by the Irish Navy ship LÉ James Joyce, accompanied by Irish military aircraft. It is known that the operation is ongoing.
The Russian ship had been in British-controlled waters for some time. Last weekend, the Norwegian, American, French and British navies and air defense forces watched Amber accompanied by a Russian warship Admiral Golovko across the English Channel, The Guardian reported.
It’s official Amber considered scientific research, but Russia uses such ships to spy on critical underwater infrastructure.
We remind you that it became known earlier that the German elite anti-terrorism unit of the Federal Police GSG 9 will guard the underwater infrastructure against the background of the appearance of Russian spy ships.
Tallinn and Helsinki are also expanding their cooperation in the field of maritime defense, the parties are developing specific plans – if necessary, completely closing the Baltic Sea to Russian ships.
