Russian 'spy ship' sabotage in British waters? | The Story

[@Rob-y9p]

Maybe the U.K. should do as Turkey did a few years ago when Russian fighter jets kept entering its airspace? That would send a clear message.

[@st1nk1n]

Russian jets did not enter our air space.

[@eviljods]

@@st1nk1n Russian Jets frequently enter our airspace, playing silly games.

[@AllanM2e0]

The Russian bombers fly close to the uks area of interest for decades so we normally meet them with our QRA aircraft but this is maritime intrusion and it’s happening more frequently which is fairly new.

[@st1nk1n]

Surely carrying out acts preparatory to terrorism is a criminal offence in the UK and they could be arrested?

This is not innocent passage. This lingering in UK waters.

[@lukelizotte2813]

With today's technology I am certain that an audible alarm that sounds off when anchor is down and ship begins to move could be incorporated into the ship's systems. It probably already exists but they bypass or shut it off. If the anchor breaks an underwater cable then it affords more evidence that they intended to do it. Why not patrol with drones that surveil ships to see if they have their anchors up or down.

[@ianburnett4605]

A direct threat would be military of a sovereign nation targeting sencitive missiles on their own soil enabeling a second sovereign nation to press a fire button fireing missiles into a third sovereign nation. If you poke the Bear expect the Bear to poke back.

I don't think the spy ship would do any sabotage, they wouldn't be so overt. They would more likely commission a dark fleet ship.

[@pegasusted2504]

So they didn't seize the ship or board it for an investigation?

[@GARDENER42]

No legal grounds to.

[@pegasusted2504]

@@GARDENER42 really? a known Russian spy ship inside British territorial waters with potential sabotage to vital infrastructure? Hanging around in international water sure but not actually inside our nations area. That is I think criminal trespass at the very least and attempted intentional technological infiltration in prelude to some sort of attack towards the other end of the scale.

[@weije093]

It is amazing how many words are spent for such basic things. A spy ship is a threat. That means that "rules" are ignored. Yet, we think we have the moral high ground to stick to the rules. If we are threatened, we are allowed to act in such a way the threat is eliminated, including destroying or impounding the ship. Either we learn to give russia a bloody nose when ever the try to intimidate us, or we have to accept that intimidations will become more severe, leading to a war. Worse can only be avoided when an issue is addressed at earliest state.

[@GARDENER42]

Unlike Russia, the UK upholds the rule of law.
