⚓ The Royal Navy says operations monitoring Russian vessels around UK waters took 25% more time in July than in July 2025. Patrols spent 21 days shadowing ships in the Strait of Dover and North Sea.
HMS Tyne, HMS Mersey and HMS Severn, supported by Wildcat helicopters and Merlin anti-submarine aircraft, monitored the Russian frigates Neustrashimy and Admiral Grigorovich during the month.
The Ministry of Defence’s annual figures, as reported by The Guardian, recorded 116 Royal Navy activations in the year to March 2026. Those operations involved 61 Russian warships and 28 merchant vessels around UK waters. 🌊
The surveillance burden is tied to protection of undersea cables, pipelines, offshore energy assets and shipping routes. The government’s Strategic Defence Review calls for the Navy to take a leading role in coordinating protection of such infrastructure with allies and commercial operators.
