Sunday, 26 December 2021 (YJC)_ A British media source reported the deployment of London submarines and movements to monitor Russian ships and submarines in the North Sea.
London's observation of Moscow's movements in the North Sea made headlines as Russian and Western tensions over Ukraine continued.
According to Sputnik news agency, a British newspaper reported the deployment of the 23rd Navy Brigade in the North Sea to monitor Russian movements in the North Sea.
The Telegraph reported Saturday (yesterday) that the Echhamas Westminster submarine is currently stationed in the North Sea to monitor the movements of Russian ships and submarines in the sea.
According to the media, the UChamas Westminster frigate was upgraded in 2014 and equipped with the Sea Ceptor surface-to-air missile system and is on standby in the Shetland Islands.
British media coverage of Russia's naval movements in the midst of Western tensions with Moscow has been mediated by issues such as Ukraine and Russian warnings about its possible membership in NATO.
Moscow officials have warned Washington, London and other NATO members in recent years about increasing military presence near Russia's borders, and have repeatedly called Ukraine's membership in the Western military alliance a red line in recent weeks.
