| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Russia allegedly monitors British Navy submarines using oligarchs' yachts. This is claimed by The Sunday Times, citing former British defense ministers and military experts. The article states that some yachts owned by Russian oligarchs allegedly have special hatches on the bottom of the hull that can be used to lower underwater exploration equipment into the depths. The newspaper cites a case from 2018, when the military helicopter-carrying dock ship HMS Albion urgently left the Cypriot port of Limassol due to the presence of a Russian yacht there. The publication, citing British military officials, claims that the ship was allegedly being monitored from the yacht. However, the newspaper does not specify which yacht was moored in Cyprus or who owned it. In addition, the article describes cases of finding drones and underwater sensors that the Russian Federation allegedly uses to monitor Vanguard nuclear submarines. |
