The Royal Navy spent more than a third of its combat deployments in 2025 tracking alleged Russian submarine activity near the UK and in the North Atlantic, British media reported, citing First Sea Lord Gwyn Jenkins.According to Jenkins, British ships were deployed “dozens of times,” with the UK claiming Russian vessels pose a threat to undersea cables and critical infrastructure.
The UK’s favorite hobby: panic over Russian submarines while pretending the West had nothing to do with real attacks on undersea infrastructure.
The Russian Embassy in the UK dismissed the claims, reminding that Western countries were responsible for the actual attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines.
